It's kind of crazy how big the creators-for-creators niche is now. There are thousands of people now whose ONLY creative output online has been how to make creative output online, feels v. weird and bad to me

I’ve been sitting on an idea for a while.
I think it could meaningfully change how brands approach LTV, retention, and eventually acquisition. To my knowledge, it’s never been done this way. Blue ocean, as they say (advantage to you).
Recently, I’ve been tinkering on it with a couple of the sharpest people I worked with at KnoCommerce.
We’re looking for a few brands willing to experiment with us. Who’s interested?

AI is making your brand mediocre.
That’s why I’m launching @TheStartersHQ: the human layer behind your business.
We give you direct access to the people who have built category-defining brands so you can:
➔ Learn from their expertise
➔ Consult 1:1 with them
➔ Hire them to execute for you
Because as AI makes execution cheaper...
Human brilliance becomes priceless.

I need your help with this thing I’m overthinking lately:
What are the pros and cons of posting a podcast on YouTube under the podcast channel vs my personal account?
For context, I recently started posting on Instagram and TikTok on my personal account, and I also have a channel for my pod on YouTube, but the pod doesn’t have social channels so I end up posting clips on my personal accounts to promote it.
I really don’t want to create social accounts for the pod outside of YoTube because it will be way too much work to create content for this AND my accounts.
All accounts are fairly small so I don’t care if let’s say I started posting the new episodes on my personal YouTube channel and just consolidate everything there.
Feels like the only pro for keeping it separate is that if at some point I want to sell my company, the pod would be able to be a part of the deal.
But I guess I could just launch the channel later if we got to that stage?
Other than that I don’t see any reason for keeping it separate.
I don’t want to monetize it, the only reason for having the pod is to create useful content that gets us leads, which btw is already doing at only 20-ish subscribers lol
Thoughts?

Who is the best demand planner / inventory forecaster you know?
Looking to pay for 1-2 hour consulting sessions with a few people.
1 take yapper-ish style '3 reasons why' as part of our application to Barry's coder role
didn't think a sticky note static ad would suffice
if not Barry, let us help you build your software!
either something you already have that you want a dedicated team on, or from scratch
The biggest mistake I've made in the last 5 years is keeping my team tiny.
In past jobs, I led multiple large teams, but after doing that for so many years, I got tired of it, so when I went out on my own, I kept my team small.
Now I'm seeing more and more that staying lean has only held me back, especially with getting @urlloveit_ off the ground.
Soooo, now I’m opening up a couple of roles for the best people to join my tiny team.
Top priority: 1 world-class media buyer with an interest in and understanding of creative and CRO, and maybe 1-2 media buyers who want to become world-class.
2nd priority: mid- to senior-level coder/developer and/or someone who's great at vibecoding and loves doing it.
3rd priority: marketing generalist/coordinator who can wear many hats.
If you’re interested in any of the above or see yourself working well with me in any capacity, now's your time to shoot your shot:

Let me help you set up @HQForWork. We will save you $10-20k next month and accelerate all your work.
And we are a @LAUNCH company. 100% money back guarantee if HQ doesn’t blow your claws and sprawl of knowledge bases and bots out of the water.

We have bots that run on grok, Claude, and codex on your sub, locally or in the cloud, available in slack, telegram, email, iMessage etc. each with federated access to your team and an identity. And you connect outside bots to the same infrastructure. Everything you have done to this point will seem like a build up to what we have at HQ
The amount of stuff you’re about to do with AI is wild.
It will keep getting more wild.
Get your data and context infrastructure in order to make the most of it 🫡
This is a picture perfect example of the MESSENGER mattering more than the MESSAGE
I’ve seen some variation of this tweet almost weekly (amidst all the other content) since 2019
From so many different voices
But his PROOF makes it cut through.
Keep crushing Zach 👊
So much contradictory bs on here.
As someone that’s built a portfolio of brands that will do over $200m this year…here’s the playbook:
Make good ads that educate and entertain.
Test new offers to unlock performance.
Treat retention like growth, hack it.
Make great products.

I want to hire a contract-based recruiting researcher/sourcer for a senior US-based role.
Who are the most talented people you know in the recruiting space?
Skills and markdown files are suggestions to stay on the road - soft guardrails
inherently not deterministic
software allows you to have verifiable results - hard guardrails
it can't randomly decide to do something else based on the prompt or grabbing the wrong md file
