on my last flight I saw this talk, loved it

haven’t been familiar with Jack before, his story is impressive and deeply personal

the talk itself is deep, he knows the topic, problems creators face on a level I’ve not seen in a while

and great one to learn on the storytelling part as well

now on the topic itself, and that’s the thinking I came down to as well a few years back

most people, especially in creative fields, don’t want to come up with a unicorn size startup or a company

and most founders of digital products want exactly that, maximize profits, get another VC round, sell

we already see quite well what happens to those companies who get sold in the end - instagram is a great example of how a great app people loved to use - turned into an ad money making machine addicting people to stay in as long as possible… how many people got happier with that sell? a handful of vcs and original founders?

Exactly! Creative integrity often gets compromised once the focus shifts solely to profits. Jack’s insights are a wake-up call for all creators.
