I realized that I was spending quite a bit of time (~12h/episode) on my #podcast and I wanted to explore and share the different steps I go through from the idea to the promotion of each episode. Each step detailed in this thread: **STEP 1: Episode Topic Discovery - ??h**
Objective: Finding the next Silicon Carne episode topic
Stakeholders: Me alone
Tools: The Web
Outcome: Next episode title draft

OK after several months of #Clubhouse testing, it's time to take stock. Here are my conclusions: Audio is not a fad; it's booming now because of pandemic lockdown, earbuds, Bluetooth, multi-tasking, GenZ, creator economy...

Few thoughts on the difference between a Follower, a Fan, and a Super Fan: For me, a follower is a "lurker", someone who consumes your content but not necessarily engages with it.

I spent my weekend thinking of how #creators can monetize better their content and my conclusion is that there is much more interesting stuff to do than just paid content, ads, subscriptions… Basically, if I had to summarize my thoughts I would say the following: Advertising is definitely a broken model for content monetization. Ads lead creators to look for millions of views and therefore to privilege sensationalism.

Agenda des prochains numéros de Silicon Carne, si vous pensez à des invités pour chacun de ces sujets, ping me L'impact des dernières élections US sur la Silicon Valley (guests OK / recording scheduled)

The Silicon Valley is definitely a special league. When you look at the exit numbers, nothing compares. Now pretty worried about low level of exits in Europe and in France particularly UK still leads the pack in term of number of deals but Sweden is first in term of amount (Spotify effect).
