We are in the era of increasingly more low attention spans and as people get more immersed in the digital world, they yearn for quick dopamine hits. Being able to speak and market yourself in a way that gets people curious is a skill you will need online.

Love to see this come up ever so often. This Banksy stunt shows the value of brands in our world. Very rarely does anything else matter. In the same way, a blank white t-shirt from LV will sell for 1000x what it cost to create it. It is not just limited to art.

TL;DR—Reactive marketing, frictionless communication, be real to be relatable, signpost your customers, be antifragile, focus on the headline, write for one reader, and sell benefits not features.

A very interesting thing to think about. Not only will AI speed up production to an insane level, but it will solve some of the problems with tech businesses that exist today. Things that you may have been worried about previously will cease to be a problem.

You do not need to be a genius in filmmaking to appreciate how useful this will be. “The younger generations will grow up with this stuff and won’t be able to comprehend how we are currently living.”

Failure is good. If you never try, you never learn.

1 piece of advice from me
Typically a little bit of negativity stands out in the midst of a lot of positivity. It invokes a type of fear, panic or anger. If it’s constructive criticism, that is good—you can learn from it without being in an echo bubble. If it’s hate, that is also good! It means you are doing something right.
So no need to be fearful, be in a panic or be angry towards negativity and hatred.
