The Daily Loop #27

Twenty-seventh edition of The Daily Loop. 3 long-form reads, 3 short-term tweets, 1 quote and some daily advice! Have a read.

The Daily Loop newsletter focuses on information that can be consumed in 2 minutes every day by linking to posts across the internet, formatted in a way that is easy for anyone to navigate. In a 3-3-1-1 design.

The goal is for as many people to read this daily and inspire them to think differently about certain things. It will primarily be around topics and industries I am interested in such as: startups, ai, success, innovation, change, crypto, nfts, etc.

Saw this cool post that is worth a read if you are in the Web3 space: Remove the techno jargon when explaining what your product/service is.

Advice that applies to all industries, even if it’s mainly relevant to Web3. Remember KISS (keep it simple, stupid).

Look at these guys They built an app in 18 hours and sold it for $85 million. Here’s how 👇

An important part of this thread is the focus on keeping it free and accessible. Many businesses try to monetize too early, leading to the death of their product.

Disclaimer: The first tweet is clickbait, the prototype for the app was created in 18 hours. It took 16 months until they got acquired.

Some heavy news: a few days ago I was told by my doctor I have congestive heart failure. Symptoms started last year out of the blue and I put off seeking help (like an idiot) so I could keep working. But after testing, my doctor called and asked me to radically change my life.🧵

I want to share this thread by Gordon. Health is wealth. And health is the most important thing, nothing else matters.

Stay focused and keep growing one day at a time.

Treat every day as progress. Big goals are made up of small goals. One day at a time.

Wow, holy shit this is far away from anything else I’ve seen. Insane. Google basically solved AI music:

First, they came for art, and I didn’t speak out. Then they got writing. And now music… →

Tiny announced its IPO with a near $1 billion valuation. I was the first employee. Here’s what I learned:

TL;DR—Buy your way in, get started with a name, most successful people read the fastest, if it’s considered an asset (then it’s too late), have a villain, put up or shut up, let your people get burned, fly people in, everything is negotiable and all advice cancels out.

I don’t agree with every point. The same goes for all posts linked on The Daily Loop.

1 good quote

@Loopifyyy I think about this quote often. Despite original context, it can still be appropriately applied pretty broadly.

1 piece of advice from me

When someone tells you to do something, don’t just do it, see it as advice and make up your mind about it. If someone created a billion-dollar company and told you to do a specific thing, question it and try to understand why until it makes sense to you.
