I saw the guys from Basecamp have come out with something called once.com. I haven't done a deep dive onto it yet, but it seems to be a way in which to get your book out pretty quickly. I believe that James Clear and Tim Ferriss are working on something as well that seems at least tangentially related to that.
So my big question around that is just like, how do we streamline the process of becoming a published author for folks that don't want to go through the really difficult process of doing so?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Maybe it's Writebook. That's right. Once.com was the product before that. I'm confusing the two. You're right. Yeah, Writebook. Exactly.

Yeah, exactly. Yeah, it's under the once brand here. Yeah, I use Hey.com, which is a product from the Basecamp guys. And I love all the simplicity that they've built into their products. And if anyone is going to attack that model, this doesn't seem to be tied into becoming a New York Times bestselling author or getting published under a big brand.

This seems to be a way to sort of instantly publish your own book. But I actually think that is just as good an idea as disrupting the traditional publishing model. This seems to be faster, better, easier, have less friction for those who want to get started. And do we see a major disruption? Do people in 10 years not publish with huge publishing houses anymore?

Is everything done through something like a right book? And I don't know, there's a part of me that says that that's possible or likely.

I do.

And then I'll argue whether I think it's a good idea or not. Totally.
