Tarek Mansour

This was one of those stories that got viral screenshotted on X by a bunch of people we both follow in the tech world.

Everyone, you know, glamping on about their savvy media strategy that they have.

And I just think it's kind of interesting that this is becoming a

a hot topic and i think it kind of signals where everyone's head is at that in an age of infinite ai everything and products that all kind of do the same thing maybe the thing that matters is how you talk about your company i don't know you're the professional you tell me

Shout out hype desk.

You know, uh, you can still get your narrative out to the world through sources.news.

Thank you very much.

Yeah, I don't know.

I think founders should go direct more, but I think a lot of founders are wet blankets and have no personality and no ability to talk about what they do beyond the nuts and bolts of the actual thing.

And to really do this well, you have to be – I think someone like Tarek, who we have on later in the show, who can talk about it more at a high level –

And that just takes, you know, that takes like a certain personality.

It takes experience.

It takes training.

But yeah, I mean, I just think storytelling as a concept in the tech world becoming so popular right now with AI, I think, yeah, just to me suggests that there's a lot of copycats and a lot of cookie cutter type things out there.

I'm reminded of a quote that Ilya Suskovor gave the Darkash Patel podcast recently where he was like,

Silicon Valley has more companies than ideas right now.

And it does feel that way.

Everything is content.

Is that the first slide of your deck?

Right, right.
