And it’s the same pattern behind every great story that sells, whether it’s F1 Movie, Barbie, celebrities sweating on Hot Ones or your company. Remember: People don’t hate... show more

Sequoia founder Don Valentine: “The art of storytelling is incredibly important” “The art of storytelling is incredibly important. And many—maybe even most of the entrepreneurs who come to talk to us can’t tell the story. Learning to tell a story is incredibly important because that’s how the money works. The money flows as a function of the stories.” The founder of Sequoia founder explains that the story is how you explain what you want to do, how long it’s going to take, who the competition is, and how much money you need. a16z cofounder Ben Horowitz shared a similar view in a 2014 Forbes interview: “Storytelling is the most underrated skill… Companies that don’t have a clearly articulated story don’t have a clear and well thought-out strategy. The company story is the company strategy.” He continues: “The story must explain at a fundamental level why you exist. Why does the world need your company? Why do we need to be doing what we’re doing and why is it important?… You can have a great product, but a compelling story puts the company into motion. If you don’t have a great story it’s hard to get people motivated to join you, to work on the product, and to get people to invest in the product.” This is the job of the founder and CEO: “The CEO must be the keeper of the story. The CEO is responsible for getting the story right, that it’s up to date, compelling, and can move the hearts of men and women. That’s the fundamental responsibility of the chief executive… The mistake people make is thinking the story is just about marketing. No, the story is the strategy. If you make your story better you make the strategy better.” Video source: Stanford Graduate School of Business (2010)

When pitching your business, it’s essential to resist the temptation to focus solely on your product or service. While it may seem natural to highlight its features and benefits, effective pitching goes beyond mere product promotion. Instead, strive to convey the value proposition of your business in a way that resonates with your audience on a deeper level. This means understanding their pain points, desires, and aspirations, and positioning your offering as the solution to their needs. By framing your pitch in terms of the problem you solve and the transformation you enable, you create a compelling narrative that captures attention and generates interest. Remember, people don’t buy products – they buy solutions to their problems and experiences that enhance their lives. So, whether you’re pitching to investors, customers, or partners, focus on the bigger picture and the impact your business can make, rather than getting bogged down in product details.

AOC on Inflation: It’s not easy to just find a cheaper apartment when every apartment or every home in your area is the same unaffordable price. And so what is so challenging about this is that this isn’t just like going to the grocery store and buying the generic cereal and switching over. How do you actually accommodate when you can’t afford medicine, when you can’t afford your housing? This is a crisis… MacFarlane: Do you think the administration is taking it seriously? AOC: No, they’re making it worse because what the Trump administration is doing is entering sweetheart deal after sweetheart deal, whether it’s with Monsanto and our food supply with glyphosate, whether it’s housing, whether it’s, you know, these crypto agents that are engaged in money laundering—I think at least. I think they are not only ignoring it, they see it and they are actively making it worse. And what they think is that people are too dumb to understand what it is that they’re doing. They’re banking on the fact that people will support them no matter what and that nothing will change that support. And I think that what is really important is for every voter, regardless of your background or your party or whatever it is, to understand what’s your line and what is acceptable to you.

In 4 minutes, Kurt Vonnegut explained stories better than anyone I’ve ever heard. “The shape of the curve is what matters. Not their origins.” He plots stories on 2 axes: X: Time Y: Good fortune / ill fortune He goes on to say, “Somebody gets into trouble, then gets out of it again. People love that story. They never get tired of it.” Point 1: Stories have defined patterns. In Joseph Campbell’s Hero of a Thousand Faces, he makes the case for the Hero’s Journey. Since then, it’s become the most famous storytelling structure in the world. Vonnegut argued stories could be divided into 8 shapes. Each story, he said, fit one of the 8. Point 2: Vonnegut says, “Be a sadist. No matter how sweet and innocent your leading characters, make awful things happen to them — so the reader may see what they're made of.” To see who your characters really are, you have to make them suffer. Only then does your audience have someone worth cheering for. Point 3: End on a high note. Vonnegut says, “It’s not accidental that the line ends up higher than where it began. This is encouraging to readers.” The way a story makes people feel when they finish is how they remember it. It’s called recency bias. Lift people up and they will love you. *** “There are people. There are stories. The people think they shape the stories, but the reverse is often closer to the truth.” I wrote this with Robbie Crabtree. Follow him for lessons on storytelling + fundraising. And I talk about creative storytelling. Follow Nathan Baugh for more like that.

"There is no one better to tell your story than your CEO, your founder, or your management team." Lynn Martin (Lynn Martin) President of NYSE 🏛 "If you don’t tell your story, someone else is going to tell it for you." "That’s why we’ve invested so much across different media mediums to allow companies to tell their story organically, in the way they want it to be told. If someone is about to IPO their company, they’ve had extraordinary success. They’ve more than earned the right to tell that story. My job is to be the platform that allows these amazing innovators & this next generation of founders to tell their story on the world’s biggest stage."

Big-screen TVs used to cost thousands of dollars. But then they got super cheap. Why? It's the same reason social media is free. Vizio doesn't make money selling TVs anymore. Last quarter, they actually lost money on the hardware. But they still made $109 million in profit. How? Their TV is now an ad platform. The ads, the data, the targeted recommendations that's the actual business. And it's not just Vizio. Samsung, TCL, LG, every major brand makes more from ads on your TV than from the TV itself. Here's why this should change how you think about your own business. The product isn't the product anymore. The customer relationship is. Vizio sells a TV. The relationship is the actual business. Tesla sells a car. The software subscriptions are the actual business. HP sells you a printer at a loss. Ink is the actual business. Same pattern across every industry, the first sale is just the entry fee. Smart operators are now willing to lose money on the first sale because they know what comes after. And here's how that plays out online. You run ads or build organic traffic. People land on an offer, a freebie, a guide, something worth their email. They join your list. From that moment on, your job isn't selling. It's nurturing. Email sequences. SMS follow-ups. Automations that keep the relationship warm until they're ready to buy and ready to buy again, and again. That’s what platforms like HighLevel, one of our partners, are built for.. The place where every customer relationship lives, builds, and compounds over time. So if you're still optimizing every transaction for profit, you're playing a game everyone else just stopped playing. Build the relationship layer before the shift hits your industry.

Tom Brady on the most common trait elite performers share: They want to be held accountable. The best understand that preparation must carry urgency. You may only have three practices before the game, and every one of them has to move you closer to being ready. There are no wasted reps. No casual days. No assuming you can fix it tomorrow. The margin is too small. Whether it’s the NFL, college sports, or business, someone else is preparing with purpose. Every rep has to carry weight because every rep becomes part of your performance and/or pushes reps further down the line. Great leaders establish that standard where the floor of the team is an urgent one.

Dr. Sherri Tenpenny delivers a vaccine warning every parent should hear before it’s too late. “Vaccines have never been proven to be safe. They don’t keep you from getting sick… and every single one causes HARM.” Most believe they’re “fine” after vaccines, but Tenpenny says that confidence is misleading, beginning with three uncomfortable questions: 1.) “Do you have any idea what’s going on at a cellular level in your body? From your mitochondria or your ovaries or your brain?” 2.) “When you were a baby, and you got vaccines, did you scream and cry? Did your mother ever tell you that it is a sign of encephalitis (brain inflammation)?” 3.) “And what if your IQ is really meant to be 15 or 20 points higher? You would not know that.” The real danger with vaccines, Dr. Tenpenny argues, has nothing to do with “rare side effects.” It’s about damage you’d never know how to measure. And once you see the pattern, it’s impossible to ignore. 🧵

I’ll be honest, this is not what I was expecting today. Only two responded to the gospel when typically it’s many more students than that. Though you’ll never hear me say “numbers don’t matter” I also recognize that every person matters to the Lord. One of the students who came forward told me this was the first time he ever made a decision for Jesus after hearing many “religious speakers and clubs”. That meant something to me. Whether it’s thousands or a few, the gospel truly is the power that saves! What a privilege to help lead others into the same encounter I once was so desperate for. Tomorrow we go to school number 3! 🔥

REPORT: Lawmakers want to make it a felony to fix your own 3D printer—because the government might not “approve” of what you’re making. That’s not a headline from China. It’s happening right here in the United States. Starting in 2027, every 3D printer sold in Washington state would be required to include government-approved software that scans what you’re printing. And if it even might be a gun part, the machine shuts it down. No workarounds. If you try to modify the printer—or if a company sells one that can be modified—they could be hit with felony charges, prison time, and massive fines. They say it’s about “safety.” But let’s be real—this is about control. It’s the same model we’re seeing with smart cars and appliance restrictions. One update, and your machine stops working. One “unauthorized” project, and you’re locked out. Today it’s your printer. Tomorrow it’s your car, your tools, even your right to build or fix anything at all. The solution? Own your tools. Say no to smart restrictions. Because if you can’t control your own machines… what can you control? Watch ZeeeMediaOfficial's full report to see where this is really heading. 👇

Request for storytellers: I want to see a16z speedrun 🧊 applicants with exceptional storytelling skills. Storytelling is one of the most underrated founder superpowers, and one that only grows more important as AI tools make the earliest phases of building easier. This isn’t about hype or snake oil. Great companies are still built on great products. But the best storytellers give their companies a far greater chance at greatness: 1) They attract better talent. On paper, it’s irrational for a FAANG engineer to leave their comp package, stability, and perks to join a tiny startup. Founders must tell a story that transcends the facts—one that inspires belief in the mission. Without it, you won’t land the best people. 2) They win early customers. Like recruits, customers take a leap of faith when buying from a small, unproven company with no brand or reviews. A compelling story helps them cross that gap. 3) They raise more capital. Investors hear thousands of pitches from smart, credentialed founders with promising traction. Storytelling is what makes one pitch cut through the noise. The best storytellers I’ve seen combine vision and empathy. Vision paints a future so inspiring that anyone can understand it. Empathy ensures the story resonates with the specific audience in front of you. I've been so impressed with the first wave of Speedrun applicants so far. If you've been thinking about applying, now is the time. Link to the application below

Last night Anderson Cooper made quite a statement. Whether you agree with him that we need to break out of silos and understand the other half of America or not, I think this is worth thinking about. It’s important for us to hear each others’ opinions, not just so that we can better make up our minds on various issues, but also so that we can fact check our friends, our family members, and our colleagues. If we don’t debate. If we don’t educate. If we don’t discuss our differences, then there will never be any progress or unity made. Outrage and anger can sometimes be the greater force in making change, in taking a stand, and in standing up for what we believe in. Joe Biden didn’t get more votes than every president before him because people absolutely adored him. Joe Biden got the most votes ever because so many people were scared of what another term under Donald Trump would do to this country. It’s important not to forget who Donald Trump is — whether you love him or your hate him — because we all need to be more motivated to vote. I’d love to hear your thoughts. I don’t expect most of you to agree with me.

Q: Why is company culture important? In the clip below, a16z cofounder Ben Horowitz argues that culture drives how people in your company behave on a daily basis—and particularly, how they behave when you’re not looking. Is that phone call so important I need to return it today or can it wait until tomorrow? Can I ask for a raise before my annual review? Is the quality of this document good enough or should I keep working on it? Do I have to be on time for that meeting? Should I stay at the Four Seasons or the Red Roof Inn? Should I go home at 5 p.m. or 8 p.m.? Should we discuss the color of this new product for five minutes or thirty hours? If I know something is badly broken in the company, should I say something? Whom should I tell? Is winning more important than ethics? None of these things are in your mission statement or OKRs, but they determine many important things for your company, such as how people experience your company, what you’re like to do business with, what your company is like to work at, etc. And as Ben describes, what drives the culture is all of the little behaviors and cues people take on: “this is what I have to do to succeed in this company.” Culture can feel abstract and secondary when you pit it against a concrete result that’s right in front of you, but it’s a strategic investment in the company doing things the right way when you are not looking. It’s the set of assumptions your employees use to resolve the problems they face every day. It’s how they behave when no one is looking. If you don’t methodically set your culture, then two-thirds of it will end up being accidental, and the rest will be a mistake. If you’re looking for a more in-depth guide to culture and how to build a great one, I’d recommend Ben’s book: What You Do Is Who You Are.

"It's not a swap. The way it works is more like ETH and wrapped ETH, you deposit USDC into the confidential USDC contract ... the contract mints the same amount you deposited as confidential USDC" Rand, founder of Zama, breaks down how confidential assets actually work without bridging "Sure, people can see how much you deposited, because by definition that's public, but from that point every transfer you make, every token you receive is shielded" "People don't know how much you're moving around, how much your balance ends up being, whether you're swapping or depositing into the Steakhouse Morpho vault confidentially. Nobody has any idea how much money you have. And the beautiful thing is you're on Ethereum, we're not asking you to use a new L1. It's Ethereum with encryption" "If you swap shielded USDC into some new altcoin, that's not shielded, and that's the reason we're adding more and more assets to the protocol, so you never have to. You can go from shielded asset to shielded asset. There's no reason to ever unshield if every wallet, every exchange, every swap, every lending protocol supports shielded assets, and that's the goal"

Americans are done with Democrat Hypocrisy “The same people, the same exact people, whether it be civilians or politicians, that either implemented policy or supported policy that locked people down, forced you to make healthcare decisions. Show proof of those decisions, or you couldn't enter bars, restaurants, places of community. Shutting churches down, shutting pretty much everything down, locking you in your house for months at a time, forcing your family members to die alone And now the very same people calling it inhumane and morally corrupt that you either show ICE proof of citizenship or show people your ID to vote. Am I getting that right??” “I remember hundreds of thousands of civilians being so desperate to keep food on the table for their families that they actually ordered and mass produced fake cards to show proof of you know what. That is how desperate our people in America got because of the very politicians that are now doubling down on saying, actually, no, it's wrong to force people to show an identification card for this, that and the third. Like, you can't make this up. — So I don't give a flying crap about who has to show what to ICE. I don't care. And let's be real, neither do you, because you were in line showing your card at the very same time that I was. And you were fine, actually, you supported it. You called it saving lives”

Like, you can't make this up. — So I don't give a flying crap about who has to show what to ICE. I don't care. And let's be real, neither do you, because you were in line showing your card at the very same time that I was. And you were fine, actually, you supported it. You called it saving lives”

Why Brian still obsesses over recruiting: "Sam Altman (Sam Altman) told me you're going to spend 50% of your time on hiring. I never did. It was my death blow. As a leader, you can choose if you want to spend time hiring or managing. The more time you spend on recruiting, the less time you get to spend on management. The first and last call I make every day is the recruiting team, still. I probably spend two, three hours on it every day. The 2000s, I didn't. I thought it was all about having a recruiting machine, managing people. The great thing is I don't manage as much anymore because the really good people are self managing. People should think about their first employee being a recruiter, not an engineer. Because they are the ones that get you every other person. A company is as good as its people. The difference between the good companies and the great companies are the people."

Can you explain this!! You go to a friend’s house and you see a clock on the wall. It catches your attention and you immediately like it. You don’t say a word about the clock, but the next time you open your phone you start to see the exact same clock on your feeds on social media for advertisement. You never texted, searched or talked about that clock ever. How does this happen, have you ever wondered. I’m sure you’ve had this happen to you, I know it’s happened to me more than I’d like it to. So how does a phone capture this knowledge.
