I moved away from streaming-only which means you can now download the entire course (all videos + scene files included) to watch offline, learn at your own pace with no distractions. Use Discount Code: "20OFF" to save $20 off current price. Deal’s live today through Sunday. also made a bunch of updates to the intro and chapter overview vides thanks to the feedback from y'all, much love for that. this is the new intro btw.

Wolfgang Hammer helps founders and CEOs, at both startups and massive fortune 100 companies, use storytelling to better understand what they do, and why it matters. In many ways, this conversation is a manual for how to find that story and communicate it in a way that resonates. Wolfgang (Wolfgang Hammer) is a film producer and executive who helped create House of Cards and ran several major studios. He’s now building a new kind of film studio with support from Mitch Lasky and Marc Andreessen. We talk about how stories work, what great ones have in common, and why understanding your own story can be transformative. Wolfgang explains the three layers every story must have — the external, the emotional, and the philosophical — and how they apply to building companies and leading people. So many CEOs have Wolfgang to thank for changing how they think and talk about their business, and I hope this episode gives you the tools to do the same. Enjoy! Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 02:50 The Three Layers of Story 04:44 Prompts for the Three Layers 05:54 Why Companies Struggle to Tell Their Story 08:11 The 80/20 Rule: Familiar vs. New 10:17 Suspense from Minimal New Information 11:16 Understanding the Customer's Story First 14:07 What CEOs Can Learn From Filmmakers 15:30 The CEO's Job: Master Communicator 17:12 The Definition of an Iconic Character 18:23 All Stories Are About Death 19:20 Two Kinds of Stories: Desire Fulfilled or Anxiety Purged 21:09 Story as an Ultimate Concern 23:31 Deconstructing Great Stories 26:25 The Relentless Role of Status 30:57 The Story So Big It Terrifies You 32:29 Inner Conflict: The Heart vs. Itself 35:06 A Unified Theory of Storytelling 36:09 The Two Core Truths 38:15 Kindest Thing

Rivian Universal Hands-Free vs Tesla Self-Driving This was my first time testing Rivian's new Universal Hands-Free, and I was honestly surprised by how it performed. I understand this is their first attempt and it will only improve from here, but truthfully, it is worse than any version of FSD or Autopilot I have ever used. I respect Rivian as a company, but I always try to remain unbiased in my opinions, so here are my unfiltered thoughts on where UHF stands today. Hoping to test it more as the system receives major updates! Hope you all enjoy the video. Chapters 00:00 Intro 00:45 Struggling to get UHF to turn on 1:25 Hard resetting the system 2:00 Enabling UHF 2:45 Max speed and lane changing 4:00 Strange warning 5:00 Disengagement 5:28 UHF fails on corner 7:58 Attention monitoring test 9:25 Harsh brake for merging vehicle 10:10 Changing driving styles 10:50 Harsh brake for bus 12:15 Robotic driving style 13:10 I am not comfortable using this 14:35 Parking capabilities 15:40 Getting into Tesla 16:50 FSD vs UHF thoughts 18:20 Final thoughts

We launched ViralCuts just over a month ago. And we're crushing it for customers: - 100,000,000+ video views - Millions of engagements - Hundreds of thousands of followers added Oh yeah... We just crossed 7-figures in ARR A few lessons on building a productized service 👇 --- 1️⃣ Your Pricing Model is Everything We've iterated our pricing 3 times. Within a month. With every new sales call and customer, we're learning how to optimize our price & offer. Make sure you're hitting the sweet spot between the value your customer gets and your own need to have healthy margins. Ideally this is something like cost Staff Cost * 4 / Project Capacity = Price 2️⃣ Obsess Over Customer Experience Within minutes of signing up all new customers receive a warm welcome from their Project Manager. We make sure they understand how everything works. We offer to hop on a call to answer any questions when getting started. We communicate updates daily. Feedback is addressed instantly. Across all of our businesses we make sure customers know that we really give a sh*t. 3️⃣ Maintain the Highest Standards Our team is really, really good. I'd argue the best. But we still have the occasional struggle. Sometimes a video is a miss. Sometimes a ball gets dropped. Every time there's a little turbulence, we write down what happened, our solution to the problem, and then we update our Guidelines and Process. You can't avoid all mistakes. But you can learn from them and create systems & expectations to avoid them from repeating. 4️⃣ Don't Stress Your Capacity If you're lucky enough to get a lot of demand, you may be tempted to take on more work than you can handle. Don't. Yeah, money is cool and all, but delivering a poor experience and hurting your reputation is a stain that you can't wash out. Only take on customers if you're certain you can deliver the highest-quality work and experience for them. 5️⃣ Choose Your Partners Carefully Greatest decision I made in building ViralCuts was easily who I chose to partner with. Codie Sanchez and Sam Parr have been huge when it comes to: - video quality feedback - customer process - content & growth - financial fine-tuning Here's a new video to show you what ViralCuts is all about. Roll that beautiful footage! 🎥

Jimmy Dore interviews RG911/AE911 - The Hard WTC Evidence - Official 9/11 Story COLLAPSING! Bringing Tens of Thousands of Newcomers to the 9/11 Truth | Watch along with them! — 45 Minutes Jimmy posted today our LIVE interview with him from the other day. He encouraged us to share all the evidence we could in our limited time with him - and we did! I was joined by structural engineer Kamal Obeid from Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth who addressed key issues including the impossibility of the free-fall collapse of World Trade Center Building 7. We addressed as many key points as we possibly could in the 45 minutes that we had: 1. The importance of the truth-telling that WI Senator Ron Johnson and former Congressman Curt Weldon are all about right now. Jimmy played excerpts of the Senator’s WTC comments on The Benny Show including “molten metal…controlled demolition…Calling Out Bravo 7 documentary.” We are making sure that the Senator has the solid body of evidence that will back up his historic efforts to get a real 9/11 investigation. We addressed these questions among many others on Jimmy Dore: 1. Why didn’t the American Institute of Architects issue even one bulletin on the catastrophic unprecedented destruction of 47-story World Trade Center Building 7 — the third worst structural failure in history? 2. Why didn’t NIST (National Institute of Standards & Technology) include in their 2004 report on the Twin Towers the 156 first responders who saw, heard, and experienced explosions? And many of them before the collapse of the towers? 3. Why did NIST persist with their theory that the top section crush the building section below while maintaining a near free-fall acceleration (when the top section was in fact destroyed in the first 3 seconds) — as if 90% of the steel gave no resistance whatsoever? 4.

Jimmy Dore interviews RG911/AE911 - The Hard WTC Evidence - Official 9/11 Story COLLAPSING! Bringing Tens of Thousands of Newcomers to the 9/11 Truth | Watch along with them! — 45 Minutes Jimmy posted today our LIVE interview with him from the other day. He encouraged us to share all the evidence we could in our limited time with him - and we did! I was joined by structural engineer Kamal Obeid from Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth who addressed key issues including the impossibility of the free-fall collapse of World Trade Center Building 7. We addressed as many key points as we possibly could in the 45 minutes that we had: 1. The importance of the truth-telling that WI Senator Ron Johnson and former Congressman Curt Weldon are all about right now. Jimmy played excerpts of the Senator’s WTC comments on The Benny Show including “molten metal…controlled demolition…Calling Out Bravo 7 documentary.” We are making sure that the Senator has the solid body of evidence that will back up his historic efforts to get a real 9/11 investigation. We addressed these questions among many others on Jimmy Dore: 1. Why didn’t the American Institute of Architects issue even one bulletin on the catastrophic unprecedented destruction of 47-story World Trade Center Building 7 — the third worst structural failure in history? 2. Why didn’t NIST (National Institute of Standards & Technology) include in their 2004 report on the Twin Towers the 156 first responders who saw, heard, and experienced explosions? And many of them before the collapse of the towers? 3. Why did NIST persist with their theory that the top section crush the building section below while maintaining a near free-fall acceleration (when the top section was in fact destroyed in the first 3 seconds) — as if 90% of the steel gave no resistance whatsoever? 4. What caused the hundreds of laterally-ejected freely-flying 4-ton structural steel sections, at 80mph, landing 600 feet in every direction impaling themselves in skyscrapers all around them? 5. What cause the complete pulverization of 110 acre-sized concrete floors — 90,000 tons of concrete in each tower, and dispersed it from river to river across Lower Manhattan? 6. What was crushing the lower section of each tower, if the above steel and concrete, which was 2/3 of their weight, was NOT even available to crush it?!

Solana is rewriting its core. Episode 3 of TheCoordinate is about one of the most ambitious protocol upgrades in crypto right now: AlpenGlow, a redesign of Solana 's consensus + data propagation stack. I sat down with Roger Wattenhofer, Kobi and Quentin Kniep from Anza to break down: > what was structurally limited in TowerBFT + PoH? > how AlpenGlow works end-to-end: Rotor (erasure-coded dissemination via relays) + Voter (a dance of fast and slow paths) > why they are optimizing for a 20% Byzantine + 20% crash-fault model? > what changes for validators + RPCs when votes move off-chain (VAT/fee mechanics, different cost structure, and a smaller ledger footprint)? > what 100s-of-ms finality means in practice for MEV, remote validators, and upcoming multi-proposer designs? If you’re building or operating on Solana, this is one of those quiet-but-fundamental stack shifts and you may wanna listen to this episode to learn how this upgrade touches you.

The complete playbook for building profitable companies in the AI age 1. Go heads down 2. Find an underserved niche + trend backed by data (start small) 3. Learn their painpoints/what content drives them 4. Come up with an idea (or steal one from Idea Browser) 5. Build an audience/community (pick 1 platform) 6. Use Manus/v0/Bolt/Lovable/Cursor to build v1 7. DM your audience, offer a discounted version 8. Reinvest that cash to fund product/content flywheel 9. Keep team small (AI is your co-founder) 10. Automate ~90%+ with agents/zaps etc 11. Reinvest profits into content + core features 12. Partner with creators in exchange for equity (1–20%) or rev share (20–50%) 13. Keep surfacing new ideas from users + trends (use agent feature on pro Idea Browser) 14. Build public-facing tools to drive top-of-funnel 15. Add modular pricing: free → $29 → $299 → $3K 16. Turn manual services into productized features 17. Build in public to attract users, partners, and acquirers 18. Bundle into an ecosystem, not just a single feature 19. Own the loop: audience → product → content → more audience 20. Run sprints on retention (fix that leaky bucket) 21. Backfill with AI agents before hiring ops roles 22. Test new channels with throwaway brands 23. Monetize the backend, sell data, leads, APIs if applicable 24. Have fun 25. Repeat. Build a portfolio 26. Share hires, tools, and infrastructure across products 27. Acquire underperforming products with distribution upside 28. Relaunch or bundle existing apps using your playbook 29. Create a holding company brand people want to follow (this is exactly what im doing, practicing what im preaching) 30. Build long-term wealth with no outside investors and infinite spins 31. Cross-promote wins across your product ecosystem to drive flywheel growth 32. Create an internal idea-to-launch pipeline (every 30 days, something ships) 33. License or clone successful products into new verticals or geos 34. Recruit niche operators to run individual products for cash + upside/profitshare 35. Build once, compound forever... audience, code, and trust all stack This is the greatest time to be an idea person. Happy building.
