This is my 5 year story about becoming a far better storyteller.

Goal: Tell a story as well as Neil deGrasse Tyson.

It started with me podcasting to share stories with friends. Every time I spoke, however, I sounded lifeless like a stressed-out amateur.

I’ve spent the last week trying to arrange childcare so I can go speak at a 3-day event this fall. My spouse works a non-traditional schedule and has no time off to spare. Childcare is a nightmare and our villages are gone.

This is why there aren’t more women on your stages.

I believe a lot of what you learn at a big company can be really valuable - but you can't simply apply it directly in a startup. I successfully "startupified" a lot of stuff I learned at big co's. The trick is knowing what to keep, what to modify, and what to throw away entirely

Nikita Bier @nikitabier

If you work at a big company, virtually none of your skills will be transferable to starting a company. “Waiting to get more experience” is not only a waste of time but may actually net out negative: your risk appetite, scrappiness, and foolishness will all take a hit.

Interesting that all the why now's I've seen fall into 3 buckets:
1. Adoption or advancements in an internet platform (e.g. smartphone, web browser)
2. A change in people’s behavior (e.g. e-commerce, pandemic)
3. Changes in regulation <-- Rare

More in thread 🧵

Lenny Rachitsky @lennysan

Doing some digging into the "why now" of successful companies, e.g.,
✔️ Instagram: Great phone camera
✔️ Uber/Lyft: GPS on phones
✔️ Spotify: Napster legal issues + phones
✔️ Dropbox: People having multiple devices
What others come to mind?

Too many marketers just bring a list of tactics, and can't operate within a mental model of a growth engine or a process.

It's surprisingly hard, esp for younger folks. You need quite a bit of well rounded experience before you grasp models, systems, process.

WHAT ARE MICRO-INFLUENCERS?

Micro-influencers are smaller influencers who have a following of 10,000–100,000🤳🤳

They regularly engage with their small(er) but dedicated following 📲📲

They are far more valuable to businesses that are interested in actually getting an ROI 💸💰

In what could be a repeat of one of the worst blunders in marketing history, Coca-Cola is launching a new version of a famous brand.

This time, they are reformulating Coke Zero.

But is it as risky? What do you think?
