@yuribrigadir My theory is that most entrepreneurs cannot create demand.

Demand is shaped by tons of factors; most of which are outside our control.

Better to respond to people who are already in motion.

@_ronanmc @csallen Yup. It seem like a small thing, but it's actually huge.

@jasonlbeggs @tailwindcss @Alpine_JS Yes. And @statamic + @Netlify. ❤️

Yup. https://twitter.com/jessievbreugel/status/1463145334759206915

"Move fast & adapt" is a fine strategy in certain cases; but as an overarching philosophy it fails.

Napoleon's "move fast, attack fast" strategy worked in the short-term (and impressed his believers), but in the long-term failed: a "Pyrrhic victory."

@BryanBarletta @arithisandthat I think you two might find this episode particularly interesting.

She had lots to say about podcast ads and adtech! 💪

@jackmcdade Ordered! 🙌

@benvp_ @dSebastien Thanks for listening! 🙏

The point of this exercise isn't for these plans to be "set in stone;" it's just a way of visualizing the year.

It's all flexible! At the end of each cycle (during the cool down), we'll reassess our priorities, and decide what we want to work on next.

@pickleat @stauffermatt 🙏 so glad it was helpful

@ianlandsman @stauffermatt Thx!

@JakeHerrington @stauffermatt Yes.

I think that process, of deconstructing core beliefs, has deeply changed me.

@jackmcdade Surprisingly, you can record camera + screen as separate files in Quicktime! 👀

@BryanBarletta I highly recommend @jmckinven!

It's worth noting: we recorded this episode NINE years ago.

From that moment, it took 9 years to cultivate & accumulate all the experiences that brought us to our current success (him with @getRewardful, me with @TransistorFM).

@ulrichessmann @bradycassidy @kylefox @getRewardful @SaaS_group Congrats Brady and Kyle! 🎉

The UN cites reducing air travel as the #1 way rich folks (that's us!) can reduce emissions.

"Lifestyle changes are a prerequisite for bridging the gap. Foregoing one long-haul return flight reduces annual personal emissions by 1.9 tCO2e per capita."

https://www.unep.org/emissions-gap-report-2020

COP26 has failed to deliver what humanity needed:

“Endless wrangling over specific words is equivalent to arguing about how best to rearrange the deck chairs on the Titanic. Noble sentiments will provide no protection from the impending devastation.” https://inews.co.uk/opinion/cop26-final-agreement-continuationdecades-climate-failure-1300152

A big thing for Jon and I at @TransistorFM was guiding our actions by these values:

@GV1180 @IndieHackers @csallen Thanks!

That being said: having co-founders that balance out your strengths is incredibly powerful (for multiple reasons). https://twitter.com/kylefox/status/709798011707244544

@tylertringas @rjonesy It would likely be a gradual reduction in demand (similar to what we saw in the tobacco industry).

However, we’ve seen what happens when there’s a dramatic decrease in demand for air travel:

“COVID saw CO2 emissions from aviation reduce by up to 60%”

https://www.bbc.com/news/av/science-environment-54018542

@leenyburger A bunch of good options here:

@cgimmer @tylertringas @niko_tinius @guardian Chris, I'm pretty sure you're committing a number of logical fallacies with that argument. 😉

For a more nuanced view on why some environmentalists decided to travel to COP26 (and why others did not) this @CBCnews story is good:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vxc-EYvz6XY&t=1577s

@GeoffTRoberts @niko_tinius @guardian Beauty! Sounds like you want to be part of the solution.

Experts think that aviation currently accounts for 5% of global warming.

That seems small, but the problem is that it's a relatively small % of people who are responsible for those flights.

As more people wants to travel, this is going to get worse.

https://twitter.com/rutherdan/status/1180108067746107394

@swaycopy @niko_tinius @guardian I agree 💯.

Our addiction to air travel is a massive problem.

Part of my motivation for tweeting about it is to create awareness.

We need social, political, and corporate alignment on these issues. The only way (I know of) to get there is to spread knowledge about the problem.

"There's no question that aviation is pretty much anyone's biggest personal carbon footprint. If you take one flight, to offset it you would have to become vegetarian for four years."

– @Tzeporah, on @CBCNews

@stauffermatt Sources for "overplayed?"

My understanding is that there is no major blockchain running completely on PoS yet?

@ivanbrezakbrkan Nope.

@dwiskus @YouTubeLiaison @algorithm In Facebook’s case, they used Pages to attract new visitors, to encourage businesses to make FB their home on the web. As soon as they had enough leverage, they cut organic reach.

All the big platforms do this: convince people to build a following, and then limit organic reach.

As revealed by @jackconte on @HowIBuiltThis: there's a "risk/reward" imbalance between YouTube and indie creators.

Creators spend thousands of hours (and thousands of their own dollars) creating free content for YouTube.

YouTube benefits because they just need *moar content*.

🚩 The first red flag:

How can YouTube be creating 394,000 full-time jobs, when there are only 38,000 US channels with 100k+ subscribers and 5,000 channels 1 million+ subscribers?

On page 8:

"YouTube’s creative ecosystem contributed $20.5 billion to the US economy in 2020 and supported 394,000 full-time equivalent jobs."

Sounds impressive, doesn't it? That's a lot of creators earning a FT income!

But those numbers are incredibly misleading.

@yongfook Yeah, I asked about that (that was my first thought too).

Here’s the ages: https://twitter.com/ericosiu/status/1454946450958389255

@iChris It’s a small price to pay.

@onmyway133 @JordanMorgan10 @pastepal That’s the most recent. Yes. Avail from that same url

@DidYouWriteThat @nbashaw @danshipper

Great conversation in your reactions to the Ted Lasso season finale.

Really like Rachel's concept of "internal emotional mathematics" that never get checked by someone else. Perfect metaphor. 👍

@jzraps This might be possible (occasionally); difficult to do in practice because startups are resource-constrained.

Also, for me, Uber isn’t a good business case study.

@IslandsXYZ Just joined!

@AndrewAllsop @TransistorFM @petecodes Nice!! Thank you. 🙏🙏🙏

@spencerfry @Apple It's tapping into the same emotional/social vein that watching professional sports does.

(Especially in pandemic times)

It's a communal thing that lots of people like doing together.

@adamhp_ I discussed this with @jonathanstark on his podcast.

Highly recommended:

@petersuhm Honestly, @getRewardful is the easiest + most affordable solution I've used.

(I tried 3+ other solutions before landing on Rewardful; they were truly awful)

@GoodPointDustin I just recorded a quick video for you!

We're using @Printful + @meepsapp:

@growthpolice Thanks!

@AndrewWarner @RiversidedotFM @DescriptApp @TransistorFM Thanks Andrew! We love having you as a customer. 🥰

@evoterra @TransistorFM Awww yeaaah!!!! 🦕

@mrcave Yup! Just incorporate a C-Corp with @stripe Atlas.

That’s the best form for USA/Canada founders.

@kwuchu Oh really? Any particular spot? Tell me more!

@JackEllis Also, those ToS look sketchy AF https://twitter.com/ericprhodes/status/1425131095713062918

@KateBour @tdinh_me 👋 I wrote @marketingdevs:

@amandanat She is! 🥰

Love these anecdotes. This one, from a 13 year-old respondent, is great:

“I listen to podcasts when cleaning my room because they are entertaining.”

Gotta keep that room tidy! 😄

@shaisc Lol. https://uifaces.co/ strikes again

@robwalling 🤩

@earthlingworks @DanielZarick wher can i get one of these nfts

@m1guelpf Haha. Oh yikes.

Is that a legitimate contender?

(Now, instead of having to wait 24-48 hours for DNS to resolve, I have to wait for gas prices to go down before I can update ENS? 😉)

@arithisandthat Lol. 💯

@stauffermatt There’s lots of anecdotal evidence that crypto enthusiasts are primarily techies with financial means.

The underlying pillars of the tech itself (the need to have a reliable device, secured wallet, remember your password, electricity, and internet) make it inaccessible for many.

From Reddit:

"The majority of BTC has already been mined and is already owned by a very small population. A tinier fraction of that population possesses the majority of mined Bitcoin."

@marvmol In research mode, people are loading the page, getting a quick impression, and moving on to the next site.

@SimpleToBIG I’m specifically talking to single product software companies.

@andreasjonssonn see the next tweet. this advice is mostly for new products. 👍

@GetTheAudience @arvidkahl Haha. You're already invested!

@JamesCridland Related to this maybe? https://twitter.com/plambrechtsen/status/1443325314092830720

Listening to @AliAbdaal's first interview with @BenFrancis1992, the founder of Gymshark.

(When he was 17, he took a computer class. He learned web development there which eventually lead him to making fitness apps)

@AliAbdaal @ApplePodcasts @TransistorFM The show is also doing really well on @spotifypodcasts, where it's currently one of the Top Education Podcasts:

@tonyzorin @TransistorFM We use @getRewardful:

@ckurdziel @cheriehu42 I wouldn’t say this feeling is universal. https://twitter.com/mijustin/status/1440068906224259073

@al_daro Our milk situation is out of control.

@iammarcthomas @TransistorFM Yes, that's coming.

We still need to get this v1 out the door first! 🤞

@thisiskp_ @rubenharris 👀

@martinpilka I agree that this happens!

However, *using* a product is different than *payment*.

I’m specifically highlighting that we can’t provide the underlying motivation for someone to use our product.

@hnshah @tylertringas @m1guelpf @TylerMKing @jhscott @nbashaw @TheVisitorsNFT @sirmitchell @FWBtweets @tech0ptimist @megamaker Wow. That's reductive.

@thisisbrians @nickwritesit @hnshah Yes!

@GeoffTRoberts @hnshah It's probably @kevinrose?

@thisisbrians @nickwritesit @hnshah You said "learning HTML also used to be confusing."

That's just not true.

Also: I remember teaching friends to write HTML without a computer, on paper. Incredibly simple to teach/learn.

@NoCodeJac @hnshah Lots of folks look at the avatar, or have "avatar recognition."

This is a long-recognized phenomena: @rrhoover/why-i-never-change-my-profile-pic-72de0daa2785" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://medium.com/@rrhoover/why-i-never-change-my-profile-pic-72de0daa2785

@magdalenakala @hnshah It’s also reasonable to challenge a claim (or burgeoning movement).

Shifting away from the status-quo has real world effects, which can be positive, benign, or negative.

It’s worth exploring the underlying assumptions, and possible outcomes.

Transformative criticism FTW.

@realictionboy How is this any different than how we’ve exposed other insider-trading scandals?

Also, is OpenSea decentralized? It seems quite centralized to me!

@earthlingworks @ljin18 Sorry, I meant “contributors.”

Example: it sounds like crypto folks are suggesting that the next MailChimp won’t be owned by founders exclusively, but will have shared ownership via minted coins?

@theDanielJLewis I believe the first show I regularly subscribed to was @leolaporte's TWiT.

@kevinrose and @alexalbrecht's diggnation was shortly after.

Those early podcasts are what inspired me to start my own show in 2012, and eventually lead to the founding of @TransistorFM!

No!!!!!! 😭

@EricBranner There are apps for iPhone (like Camo and Reincubate) that do this; but I don't want to have to plug my iPhone into my computer, and set it up on a tripod, each time.

I like something that's permanently there. I just click "on" and I'm on.

@FullHarbor @coreyhainesco Yeah. I saw that. The problem is, none of these new webcams have the engineering resources that Apple has.

The Ecamm Facecam also looks good; the Riyo Kayo is "pretty good."

But I want something amazing.

Facts:

- the verified @litecoin account tweeted about partnership with Walmart
- Litecoin prices spiked
- Walmart said the story was fake
- @litecoin still hasn’t publicly retracted its tweet
- no evidence that @litecoin isn't an official @litecoinproject @LTCFoundation account

@AndyDidorosi 💯

I also like the simplicity and strength of a good story.

When I start with a story, I set the audience and myself at ease.

@heydavidaustin @noahwbragg I did a comparison here:

https://youtu.be/LBP4DEJAsjU

I’ve also heard good things about the Elgato Facecam.

@mattwensing Were you looking for Notes or Oats?

(Btw “Notes & Oats” is a great same for a modern folk-rock band)

@vancolour Increasingly, this whole “politics as sports” structure is frustrating to me.

Also: a very difficult time to be a progressive voter concerned about the climate crisis (no clear way to vote).

My guess is pundits will say O’Toole won the night.
