The 2000s were all about invention; the 2010s, consolidation. The 2020s are all about invention again.

Hearing from a lot of creators looking for support on onchain video, music, and media projects. Highlight isn’t just for visual artists — our tooling is endlessly flexible and can support most use-cases. If you’re trying to figure something out, happy to chat through your specific project.

Recent movies I enjoyed: • Anatomy of a Fall (murder mystery; French) • Past Lives (love story; American & Korean) • Zone of Interest (holocaust / history; German) All are atypical of their genre

The NFT meta is evolving, and we’re bullish on @rodeodotclub as a key layer for artists and creators to grow their audience. Right now, digital art releases are a bit like asking comedians to debut new material on SNL—high pressure events with limited ability to grow an audience. Rodeo is the smaller venues where creators can refine their craft and connect with a supportive audience, a win for passionate collectors and creators alike. We’re excited to partner and help strengthen relationships across the ecosystem.

The classic rule of poker tells is that strong means weak and weak means strong. Meaning, if a player is acting like he has a poor hand, it’s probably a good one. I think about this often with regard to startup marketing: most companies with real PMF aren't out there boasting about it.

Always wild to find a completely broken UX in core user journeys for huge tech products. Recent example was having a credit card expire linked to Spotify. Received a single warning email before account was abruptly canceled; this then removed access to all family plan members. In the 2-3 days before and after, there was zero email marketing to warn or win me back. When I fixed the card, I needed to re-add every account member from scratch, so just downgraded the plan. Fixing this flow alone would likely save hundreds of thousands or millions of accounts annually from churning.

If you like to make things with computers, the world til now paid you if they fit into two categories: (a) apps / sites / software (b) content / media / ads Now there's another category, (c) onchain art / culture / collectibles ... and it's a big leap forward for humanity.
