And the goal of a YouTube creator, which is also probably the goal of any startup founder, is to identify what the audience is reacting to and then double down in that direction.
How do you know if you have product market fit? If you're asking yourself, do I have product market fit? You probably don't have product market fit.
And I think familiarity is a metric that is incredibly important in the world that we are moving in. In a world where we have an abundance of choice, familiarity is going to win. The reality is today, content formats are not defensible. Personality and perspective is. And I think that's like the most important thing that everyone can do to position themselves.
for the future again if you look at where youtube is heading even with their announcements that made on youtube two weeks ago like that you can you can gather that they are heading in the direction of more and more connected tv viewership and you look at that it looks just like netflix so what the platform is is essentially signaling signaling to all creators is
Yeah, excited to jam, excited to have you here. What I wanted to talk to you about today is a little bit what I think is on your mind. I know you recently were at Google HQ.

Like if you think about wearables,
Do you remember Google Glass, like trying Google Glass for the first time? I do. You know, that was probably 10 years ago. And this, this like exploration of like, whoa, is this the future?

And we look like 10 years down the line and we're, we're still here where like, not everyone is wearing glasses, but wearable tech is more popular now, right? Like,
Like watches are more popular, rings are more popular, wristbands. And so it is moving in that direction. I think the Ray-Ban Metas are like the most compelling wearable I've ever seen and maybe the most compelling piece of tech I've engaged with since like a smartphone. But trying Orion, which is Meta's new AR glasses, was a really jarring experience.
