I feel like Notion, Airtable, Replit, The Browser Company, etc. need to form some sort of Rebel Alliance against the Oligopoly that is Microsoft, Google and Apple.

Shopify is an incredible e-commerce platform, but some brands' stores are far better than others. This is my running list of the absolute best @Shopify stores I've ever seen and why more stores should be like them. ↓

As you become an adult, you realize that things around you weren't just always there; people made them happen. But only recently have I started to internalize how much tenacity *everything* requires. That hotel, that park, that railway. The world is a museum of passion projects.

When you’re building a startup, everyone is on the product team whether they know it or not—and the product is always better when everyone knows it.

Say what you want about @Fast the product (I never really understood how it was gonna work), but I thoroughly enjoyed their marketing. The fact anyone talked about a payment company at all was wild.

I’ll say it again - This #buildinpublic hoodie by @thisiskp_ (and @garydarna) is by far, the most comfortable hoodie I own! Make sure you grab yours with this incredible offer before they’re gone! getrevue.co/profile/buildinp…

Sometimes you have to tell the world how great you are because no one else ever will. This is called marketing. Other times you have to prove to the world how great you are through action. This is called product. You need to balance both marketing and product to be successful.

in startup/VC phase, you need one person to say yes. for innovation in big cos, often feels like you need to find nobody that says no. explains why “ask for forgiveness, not permission” is such a mantra, and why a culture of experimentation + empowerment is so critical.
