JC's Newsletter - Timing is of the essence
Dear friends,In JC’s Newsletter, I share the articles, documentaries, and books that I enjoyed the most in the last week, with some comments on how we relate to them at Alan. I do not endorse all the articles I share, they are up for debate. I’m doing it because a) I love reading, it is the way that I get most of my ideas, b) I’m already sharing those ideas with my team, and c) I would love to get your perspective on those. If you are not subscribed yet, it's right here! If you like it, please share about it on social networks! 💡Must-read👉 Marc Andreessen: The 6 secrets of great timing (Apple Podcasts)
➡️ Really important mindset about “it is not because it failed in the past, that it will not succeed in the future”.
➡️ Think from first principles and not experience.
➡️ Taking risk is about being ahead of the market, not when it becomes “hot”.
➡️ We should look at the ideas where all the experts say the same thing, and take a contrarian view.
➡️ It is something I’m trying to constantly push at Alan.
🏯 Other great articles on timing & speed👉 Speed matters: Why working quickly is more important than it seems (The Jsomers Blog)
➡️ I agree very strongly with this. Going very fast, and iterating makes a huge difference and compounds.
➡️ I have experienced the same. How do we make sure we quickly answer customers? Candidates?
➡️ It is a big part of our quality, and I think foundation should work on keep accelerating our apps.
👉 FTX overview (The Generalist)
➡️ Interesting on the scale with a small team. How they attract people who have high potential and let them ramp up.
➡️ I like this approach. 👉 Notion operating values (Notion)
➡️ I love this concept.
➡️ I like it as well.
➡️ Very close to our bias to action.
➡️ Connected to member-obsession. I liked the “Behind the metrics, it's humans who use our tools.)
➡️ What can we take away from it?
➡️ Very agreed with this one. 🗞 In the news👉 Where Are Hit Podcasts?, Spotify and Podcast Aggregation, Protesting Rogan (Stratechery)
