Founders

One of the first things i learned as a founder of a web3 media company is that the work never stops because news is always pumping.

I'm based in APAC so I had easy access to local news that Americans wanted, but also had first pick of the morning scoops from the west because I have the Internet. That meant that on my little lonesome, I needed to find the right thing to publish from a batch of scoops every day.and make it good.

This honed my skills to sniff out a story on the fly, but led to other issues. The conflict of interests between needing content for the day to push out asap and realizing half way through running down a story that some friends might get friendly fire from me became a constant pressure.

These things matter in the long run more than the short term but if you burn your friends trying to find the right scoop on a busy news day and not piss off a sponsor or partner, your decision making abilities on your heels must be on point.

Publish what you want, at your own risk.
