Today, after many hours of brain time from ourselves and team, we finally launch the first Episode of What The 3! 🎥 Some context: We were still in heavy bear market and we were contemplating what our next steps would be. When Charlie pitched this idea to me, I was in almost immediately. 💡 Not because I am big on social media, but something to bring me out of my comfort zone again. And then, looking at the stats, it was an additional motivator: - 90% of podcasts don’t get past episode 3. That’s 1.8 million who quit. 🙁 - Of the 200,000 left, 90% will quit after 20 episodes. That’s another 180,000 gone. - To be in the top 1% of podcasts in the world you only need to publish 21 episodes of your podcast. - Your competition is not the 2 million podcasts. It’s the 20,000 podcasters who didn’t quit. 🤟 That resulted today with 6 episodes recorded and the first one to watch on Youtube today! (Link in the comments) We also have another 9 in the pipeline that we’re looking to forward to shoot soon! So this means that we are 15 episodes out to be in the top 1% of the podcasting space. Pretty wild if you think about it. 💪 I’d love everyone to subscribe and listen to our first episode, it would mean a lot to us as a team and to me personally :) ❤️ #web3 #ai #podcast

Amazing podcast episode on frameworks for evaluating startup ideas with Mike Maples, Jr (Founding Partner at Floodgate, ex-Product at Silicon Graphics) on Lenny's Podcast. 🎧 Here are some fun takeaways: 📈 Pivoting to Success: ● 85% of the successes in Mike's portfolio come from startups that had a fundamental pivot in their journey. This highlights that our initial validation is only a minor chapter in a venture's lifecycle. 🔍 Breakout Concepts: ● Startups need to be radically different from incumbents to succeed. ● Inflections are external changes that promote radical change. Incremental improvements, like Moore’s Law, are not inflections. AI itself isn't an inflection, but some models, like LLMs, are. 💡 Earned Insight: ● Startups need to be both non-consensus and right. ● Insights allow startups to escape comparison traps with incumbents. ● "Live in the future & build what’s missing." 👥 Founder/Future Fit: ● Founders need to be obsessed with the future of the problem. ● Sometimes, a team lacking experience is better suited for the future, seeing new possibilities. Other times, seasoned expertise and a proven track record are crucial for building customer trust. ● Greatness hinges on how authentically a team aligns with the future they aim to create.
