I remember the first time I watched a CMO pay a PR agency to push a scripted narrative across multiple news outlets. That’s when I realized: news isn’t news—it’s advertising. Government and corporate PR departments spend billions to control the "news."

3 popular silicon valley lies: 1) You need a moat 2) You need a network effect 3) You need an original idea Truth: many successful tech companies copy existing products and differentiate with UI and marketing.

You have toilet paper in your bathroom because someone decided to get rich. Financial incentives run the economy whether you like it not. I guarantee you the toilet paper entrepreneur has zero “passion” for toilet paper.

Many startup founders fail because they believe “follow your passion not money” propaganda. They build cool stuff that makes $0. Tech billionaires say one thing in public and do the opposite behind closed doors. Sometimes the truth slips out youtu.be/Indod2pgJ4o?fe…

Market research can’t feel the zeitgeist. You can. Sometimes, you need to trust your gut, even if there are no “studies” to back up your ideas.

Hi @loom I'm a paying customer. This sign-up screen started appearing on my videos even though I have "loom branded player" disabled, "ask for email" disabled, and generated an external share link. How do I disable this? Thank you!

I want to press a button on my iPhone that: 1) turns on my TV 2) mirrors the iPhone display 3) if I play a movie on my iPhone, it plays in “full screen” on the tv with the right aspect ratio Can anything do this?

There isn’t a single high school that teaches the basics of how our economy and financial system works. Kids literally don’t learn how their own society operates. Why?

Customers pay for the best emotional experience, not the best technical solution. UX > tech

Stablecoin + crypto integrations into legacy financial software solve one of the biggest UX pain point for payments: lack of interoperability. Two people, anywhere in the world, with incompatible financial apps, can finally pay each other.

"That already exists" Yes, that's the whole point. Most successful companies build something that already exists and differentiate. One way to differentiate is to build the UX you wish existed.

Postman makes over $300M/year from a simple html form that their customers can 'vibe code' in 30 seconds. Over the past few years, as "vibe coding" tools matured, Postman's revenue went up. Customers pay for convenience, not tech.

Not your keys, not your coins. So why do people buy Bitcoin ETFs or keep their btc on Coinbase? Same reason people build websites on Wix.com instead of running their own web server. Convenience and easy UX.

“this already exists” Customers don’t pay for originality. They pay for emotions. Successful tech companies copy existing technology and improve the emotional experience for a niche audience. This is why non technical founders succeed. They focus on emotions, not tech.
