@BrukPhillip I’m still learning about this myself, but a few ideas:

1. I’ve spoken at enough conferences. It’s time to recommend others and give them the opportunity.

2. Hiring and investing in POC.

3. Voting against discriminatory systems.

4. Living in integrated neighborhoods.

@productions_rfa @Cayman_Grant @TransistorFM Happy to help you get started with Transistor.

@cfoandrew @mrbrettkelly Nope. “Entrepreneurship” became a fad more recently.

@cfoandrew @mrbrettkelly Haha. You clearly didn’t grow up in the 80s, when those shows didn’t exist. 😉

@_rchase_ @hostifi_net @Ersafcr7 @RomegaSoftware This! 💯

@AdamVancity 🙌

@heyjoshwood @ericlbarnes @ianlandsman I know a handful of other founders who started with 25 hours a week, and admit (in private) that they still don’t work much more than that.

100 hours/week is definitely not necessary.

It seems that 40 hour weeks should be plenty for most founders (especially once they’re est.)

@paidinsights Lol

@Jonflarson Yeah, I’ve been thinking about this a bunch.

@MrSimonBennett Nice! 🙌

@tillkruss @arvidkahl Yup.

@ChrisLaBossiere What a beauty!

@joeworkman 🙌

@ianlandsman What’s your source on that?

My math might be wrong, but that would give @atpfm a CPM of over $220+.

$18-$35 per CPM is more standard.

@ianlandsman This is just a licensing deal; so he still pays all the production costs I believe.

@ianlandsman He said this deal made him “weirdly richer.”

I guess it all depends on how many years this deal is for, and how much he was really earning before.

@rustybrick @mattmcgee @MordyOberstein @YoungbloodJoe @methode @bartoshe @googlewmc @JohnMu @g33konaut @TransistorFM In order to distribute to Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify, etc... you need to generate a podcast-ready RSS feed + have a place to host the audio files.

Every podcast technically needs hosting. 👍

@ianlandsman When a single platform (Youtube) gets enough market share, they can snuff out the other options (iFilm, Atom Films, Metacafe).

This is the “winner takes all” narrative that’s so popular in tech.

@chris_hawk In the old days, when you needed to own a printing press, way less folks had the ability to make a living independently.

RT @joshtab_: Good read about bootstrapping!

BUSINESS IS LIKE SURFING by @mijustin

@ianlandsman They didn’t lock down the web!

They couldn’t control it. They had all of their add-ons, but folks just wanted the web.

I was on Compuserve; I just closed down their portal as soon as I was dialed in, and opened Mosaic.

@hugo__df 💯

@ianlandsman Ok. We’ve also learned the lessons from the newspaper industry! 😜

Newspapers let Facebook/Goog take over a big chunk of their business, and they got fucked.

Now, NYT is taking back control: using the open web + subscriptions.

@tmeire_ @tylertringas Do you forget how many RSS readers there were?

Even today, there are hundreds.

RT @nbashaw: A call to arms

https://divinations.substack.com/p/the-open-podcast-ecosystem-is-dying

@tmeire_ @tylertringas Search “email” in the App Store and tell me how many apps you see. 😉

SMTP / webmail services like Zoho, Proton, Outlook all have millions of users.

@ianlandsman I think (and hope) this is different than YouTube.

Youtube didn’t start on an open platform.

NPR has tons of top shows, and won’t give up their control to Spotify. Tons of other publishers feel the same way.

People are learning the lessons from the record industry.

@ianlandsman What % of podcasts do you think relies on ads?

How is podcasting different than blogging, which also involved ads?

What % of email newsletters have ads?

@tylertringas “Most media.”

You can’t just ignoring blogs and email newsletters, which are massive forms of media.

Why does it have to be inevitable that podcasts get capture when blogs and email newsletters have been resilient for so long?

@ianlandsman Actually, it’s a mix of email, radio, and blogs.

(And, you’re ignoring thousands of use cases I see every day)

@nickbona @ianlandsman In that case, it feels more similar to Medium vs blogs.

@podcastharry @TransistorFM @jonbuda Thanks Harry! 🙌

@bryce Real estate prices in the USA are really weird.

You can buy a nice place on the beach in Florida, or a veritable mansion in the Midwest, for ~$600k.

But as soon as you get into the PNW / Colorado / Park City prices go ⬆️

SLC prices look decent though. 😎

@ANDYdotCOMPANY There won’t be a way to verify it; Spotify won’t share that info after the switch.

@ANDYdotCOMPANY It’s already a success for Joe; he’s getting his money.

But, I can almost guarantee he’ll lose a massive chunk of his audience.

@ANDYdotCOMPANY What's the bet?

@robrob Yup. This is a big move.

Personally, I think this is going to piss off his audience. Currently 0% listen on Spotify.
