Being an entrepreneur is a privilege, but it’s also lonely.

My #1 tip: invest in a good coach.

Why + some personal lessons.🧵👇 Founders face systemic pressure to exude positivity.

If you’re not “crushing it” then customers, investors, and teammates may gravitate to a founder who allegedly is.

Or so most fear.

Podcasting power insights from my interview today with audio legends @adamdavidson + @smc90:

CAC: ~20x more expensive now vs. 2013 ($2 today)

$: Very few shows profit from ads. Podcasting largely top of funnel game.

Costs: Serial, Radiolab are $25k+ per episode. But...

🧵👇 Higher cost != higher quality.

Cover art + sound design: Spend here. Apple won’t feature shows without art.

Best audio: Has clear reason to exist. Knows audience. Overserves niche.

Best interview questions: Lead to a visual description + evoke emotion.
