your heart on the sleeve a little bit more and like put your taste on the line. Like if you're doing something that's like more produced, I feel like people feel more like they're trying and so like it feels like bad if people don't like it. But like I really want somebody to do like the daily show but for like tech slash culture, you know, like tech meets culture.
Something like the be real like spot on SNL that like they did. I feel like that's like, you could do a bajillion of those. Like if you created your own or I don't know, just like, I think there's like so many, even like, um, like architectural digest, like home tours, you could totally take that and do it.
But like where startup founders live or like, you know, I don't know if investors are like founders who are actually rich would want to like show you that they have money if they were willing to, that would be cool. But I just feel like there's so many different spins that like you could do with, um,
One of the big things too, which you kind of probably figured out is like, I feel like people latch onto a format they think they should do. And then that format probably does not fit their emotional center or like their natural aptitude, like whether it's video or audio or async or live or like short form or long form or group or individual, like whatever the combinations are.
And like, I think you need to iterate a lot more on that to find where your emotional like center actually is. And yeah, And presumably, I think live and unscripted and a little more of that, I think, through observation, ended up fitting you better than previous iterations of things you had been doing, which you could do, but I don't think probably was emotionally the right fit for you.
And I think people make... like they don't spend enough time iterating on formats to find the thing that they're actually better at and can do more sustainably. And then like, I think people stay too much in the like middle of the bell curve, which is like, okay, what are people generally doing?
And I think most of the time you should push to some extreme, like, okay, everybody's doing group, like I think, okay, I should do like live and like try to solo stream or do one-on-one or like some interesting format, or I should like go more produced, higher fidelity, like less often, like, I think that's also good too, to try those things where people haven't really done a lot yet.
Yeah. Yeah. I agree. I feel like for the most part should be fun. You know, we don't need to like go do a teardown of Paul Graham's like latest essay or whatever. But not that one. You know, he put out another essay like yesterday or the day before. Yeah. It's like when to, I don't even know what it's called. So something like when to do what you love or something like that. So, you know.
there's like some meme about it it's like the bell curve and it's like oh like do what you love on this end and do what you love on this end and in the middle it's like basically like figure out what works you know something like that so totally i think that applies to this too you know it's not like an unheard insight but i think it's probably like pretty consistent it's a great place to end uh thank you for spending time with us today where could people follow your thoughts on the internet
They can follow me where you spend a lot of time on Twitter. Um, and I write long form essays like on my blog or whatever you want to call it. It's at working theories, T H E O R Y S misspelled intentionally.com. Um, but I mean, yeah, just go to my Twitter. You can like find my website and all my links and yeah, my DMS are open.
And, uh, thanks for having me on. This was fun. Um, I didn't get to the back half of my ideas, doc. So, you know, for another time, if anybody ends up doing like the leak 2.0 and derivatives thereof, I'm sure we would be curious to know.
Okay. Thanks for having me, Greg.
