The Jordan Harbinger Show
1251: Jimmy Wales | Building Trust the Wikipedia Way

And it was just like a funny picture.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1251: Jimmy Wales | Building Trust the Wikipedia Way

And then the caption was very dry humor.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1251: Jimmy Wales | Building Trust the Wikipedia Way

It just said, according to some, cow is an inherently funny word.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1251: Jimmy Wales | Building Trust the Wikipedia Way

I don't know why I think that's so funny, but I loved it, and it had to go because there was no source.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1251: Jimmy Wales | Building Trust the Wikipedia Way

Yeah.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1251: Jimmy Wales | Building Trust the Wikipedia Way

That is kind of it.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1251: Jimmy Wales | Building Trust the Wikipedia Way

I mean, it didn't really work.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1251: Jimmy Wales | Building Trust the Wikipedia Way

You smiled a little bit.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1251: Jimmy Wales | Building Trust the Wikipedia Way

Yeah, yeah, no, I think inherently funny, so part of the theory is, like,

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1251: Jimmy Wales | Building Trust the Wikipedia Way

Words with a G, like yogurt, are funnier than other words without a G. The theory for comedians is like, you've written this great joke, and if the punchline is an inherently funny word, it just hits harder somehow.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1251: Jimmy Wales | Building Trust the Wikipedia Way

Yeah, I mean, I think I have a few bits of advice and most of them are quite standard.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1251: Jimmy Wales | Building Trust the Wikipedia Way

So I'm just repeating cliches, but I actually believe them.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1251: Jimmy Wales | Building Trust the Wikipedia Way

So one is just get started, you know, so read up on the lean startup methodology.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1251: Jimmy Wales | Building Trust the Wikipedia Way

I'm not necessarily endorsing every aspect of that.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1251: Jimmy Wales | Building Trust the Wikipedia Way

But the idea is like.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1251: Jimmy Wales | Building Trust the Wikipedia Way

get to minimum viable product.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1251: Jimmy Wales | Building Trust the Wikipedia Way

And that doesn't necessarily mean you're making a product, whatever it is.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1251: Jimmy Wales | Building Trust the Wikipedia Way

But just like test like early, like get out there doing it and find out, is it even remotely going to work?

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1251: Jimmy Wales | Building Trust the Wikipedia Way

Is it even helpful?

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1251: Jimmy Wales | Building Trust the Wikipedia Way

Are people interested at all?
