Whenever Anne Lamott picks up a new book, she’ll give it three pages. This is what she looks for: 1) The writing: "I'll start to read. And I'll see if these sentences are pleasing to me." The sentences invite you to read the next one, and the next one after that, enough to want to turn the page. "The sentences are pleasing. They're not ostentatious. They're not show-offy." 2) The story: “I want it to be about the drama of humankind. And, you know, I'll pay extra if it's sort of funny.” “Tell me a story, make me care.”

William Friedkin on the most important part of directing a movie: "It changes at different points in the making of the film. Initially, the most important decision you make is to decide what story you're going to tell. There's no decision more important than that. Because the commercial cinema, in which I work, is a storytelling medium. It's not necessarily a medium for... well, it isn't at all a medium for documentary purposes, for educational purposes, for experimental purposes. It's strictly a medium of entertainment. And the other aspects of it, if there are any, come as a kind of by-product of the audience experiencing the story. So, the most important decision I make as a filmmaker is to decide what story I'm going to do. There's nothing more important than that...ever. Once the story is decided, it then becomes a matter of translating the story into details; it becomes a matter of how I'm going to tell it. And the next most important elements are the casting and the people who are going to work on the film." (William Friedkin's interview with Gerald R. Barrett, 1975) Clip from: Sorcerer (1977) Director: William Friedkin

John McTiernan on how he learnt moviemaking by watching 'Day for Night' (1972): "I remember when I decided that that's what I was going to do. I went about it like it was reverse engineering. I knew that I had to go and learn what a movie was, not just my experience of going and watching a movie. So I went and sat in Truffaut's Day for Night (1972), watched it for three days straight, eight hours at a time and memorized it shot-for-shot. I got past the story, all the original and secondary experience, so I could study what it was that I was really watching. Film is really sort of a chain that's really linear. Yet when it's all strung together, it just sort of feels like an experience. It takes quite a while to be able to deconstruct that experience to figure out what you really saw." (John McTiernan's interview with Alex Simon, The Hollywood Interview, 1999)

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!

Y Combinator's Garry Tan says he wants his new project GBrain to be the Postgres for agents: "The thing I realized is, a human can only keep 7, plus or minus 3, things in their head. But a computer with an LLM can keep about three Harry Potter books in its head." "Then, when you think about what most computer systems are, you should think of the Library of Alexandria — thousands, maybe millions, of books. It's even bigger than that. It's the whole internet." "You could basically take all the relevant info about customers, or any person that anyone at the company has ever even met. You can have that in like, 100,000 or a million markdown files that comprises everything that the business is. That's basically what GBrain can do." "The magic moment for GBrain is basically being able to take any 'book' that exists in your entire business, and making sure the 3 books that really matter for the thing you're trying to do are loaded." "And that's basically ASI. You don't have to write software anymore. You can just straight-up use Hermes agent or OpenClaw plus GBrain."

Steven Spielberg crafted five 'ONERS' in Raiders of the Lost Ark that are at least 80 seconds long each. It takes the skill of every department to execute each seamless and hopefully invisible long take shot. The goal is to convey the story in an elegant way via proper planning.

Toy Story 5 was great, but in my opinion, this scene alone is enough for me to rank Toy Story 3 as the best Toy Story movie of all time. No climax in the franchise, as great as they are, has given me chills quite like this one. It remains my favorite scene in the Toy Story franchise, one of my favorite Pixar moments in the studio's history, and one of my favorite scenes in any movie I've ever seen. What's even more remarkable is that Toy Story 3 wasn't just nominated for and won Best Animated Feature, it also became one of only three animated films in history to receive a Best Picture nomination at the Oscars, as well as a nomination for Best Adapted Screenplay. It's just an exceptional movie ❤️

Jack Dorsey: I think of the CEO role as “Chief Editor” of the company “I think of my role as CEO of Square as an editorial function,” Jack Dorsey explains. “By editorial, I mean there are a thousand things we could be doing, but there’s only one or two that are important.” He continues: “All of these ideas and stories from users, engineers, support people, designers, are going to constantly flood what we should be doing. We need to choose the one or two that are really going to drive and sustain the product. As an editor, I’m constantly taking all these inputs and deciding on that one — or the intersection of a few — that makes sense for what we’re doing.” There are three “access points” that Jack pays attention to in particular: 1. The team. “We have to bring the best people in and edit away any negative elements… At the end of the day, we’re just a group of people working on one single goal, and if we can’t step in a cohesive, coordinated fashion, we’re going to trip all over the place. Recruiting is no. 1.” 2. Internal & External Communication. “Internal communication is just the coordination of what we’re doing and why we’re doing it… If you have the vision, the next 30 days, 3 months, 6 months, and year maybe, it makes it very easy to set priorities and for all the edges of the company to do the right thing. The external communication is the product, and the product is the story we’re telling the world… We don’t want it to be about a person. We want it to be about how people are using it, fitting it into their lives, and what they’re doing with it. That’s the strongest story we have.” 3. Editing the “money in the bank” story. “This comes in two ways: 1) through investment… or 2) through revenue.” Jack concludes: “My three priorities and focus areas are in that order. That’s what I’m constantly editing as CEO, and I think it makes managing a growing company in a fast-paced environment very easy because there’s basically one thing you have to do: You have to make every single detail perfect and you have to limit the number of details. That’s it. If you can do that well… you’re going to succeed because you’re paying attention to the smallest things. And if you pay attention to the smallest things while knowing what’s important, then everything else takes care of itself.” Video source: Stanford University (2011)

Paul Pierce says the NBA should change the three point line to a LED line that just comes and goes “Like you can turn it off, turn it back on in certain times of the game. Like, if you are down ten with three minutes in the 4th. It’s just ridiculous how I have watched games, it would be next three minutes of all threes. Like, 48 minutes a game the three point line should be on only like 30 minutes. Then we going to see who got game, then you going to have to get buckets now. You ain’t just going to be launching.

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)

Steven Pressfield has spent decades studying the art of storytelling. "The female carries the mystery" has become one of his core principles, and once you see it, you'll see it everywhere. Here's how he explains it: "In Moby Dick, the sea is the female, and the sea carries the mystery. The whale dives down into the sea. In Lawrence of Arabia, the desert is the female and the movie is shot to make the desert absolutely gorgeous. Then there's The Magnificent Seven in Japan by Akira Kurosawa. It's the same story of a village that hires gun-slinger samurai to defend it, and the female in that story are the rice fields that produce the rice that the bandits want. At the very end of Seven Samurai, The final thing, when the samurai have won and the bandits have been killed, is the villagers planting rice. So that's a principle that I will have: The female carries the mystery. I'll ask myself, for any idea that I have, what's the female in this story? Is there a mystery? And why, what is it? What is, what is the mystery? And the mystery is almost always something that cannot be solved. It's like... What is life? What is the sea? What is the ocean? It gets back to God. It gets back to creation. It gets back to life."

Puck's Dylan Byers says AI has become a priority for Hollywood, with every major studio exploring how to integrate it into production. "Every studio, even A24, is thinking, 'How do we incorporate AI into what we are doing?'" "The signal that those creators sent with films like Obsession and others is that [using AI in filmmaking] can be done and it can be successful. Does it mean that every human is going away? No. I think that most folks will find ways to incorporate [AI] in ways that do not significantly degrade the value of the content that they're making." "But I think the sky's the limit. Those examples have shown that this can be done and that there is more opportunity here than the folks who are clutching to Hollywood's past have realized."

Emily Blunt talks about working with Steven Spielberg in "Disclosure Day": "I got a call from my agent saying Steven Spielberg wanted to meet me for his next movie. And I literally screamed. I met him in his office in Tribeca, and he pitched me a little bit of it. [...]. So, I mean, the big idea of it is that question that has sparked the fires of human imagination for years: Are we alone, or are we not alone? And if we aren't, why are the people in power hiding the truth from us? The movie is like a life-or-death race against time for those who believe the truth belongs to 8 billion people and those who believe that it doesn't and want to keep it secret. I'm sure you are now getting asked a lot about your own personal belief as to whether there are aliens or not. I think it would be arrogant for me to assume that we are alone."

Therapist Trey Tucker came on Relatable to talk about anxiety. I asked him, "If you could define anxiety, how would you define it?" Tucker: "Fear of the future. Fear of the unknown. The verse, 'Be still and know that I am God' used to make me so angry. I'm like, God, what do you mean be still? Like, I got a real problem here. I'm in a storm. Why do you want me to just be still? And what I realized is that the word, and I believe it's "Rapha" in the Hebrew, it doesn’t mean just ‘don’t move.’ It means ‘release your grip.’ The idea that I thought that I had control, that was a lie anyway. If I can start to realize like, yes, the circumstances might happen that are negative or I might be in the middle of a battle right now, but if I can loosen my grip and stop white knuckling it, then I can realize that like oh—God is God, not me, and He’s going to take care of me no matter what happens. That really is the solution to anxiety. It’s not changing your circumstances or slapping meds on it.”

Peter Jackson talks about AI in Hollywood. Calls it “a tool” like stop-motion or CGI before and what ultimately matters is “imagination, originality” of whoever uses the tool: “I think AI — used in the right way — is a tool like any other tool. [The original] King Kong…was stop-motion and done by a person moving a rubber creature. Why shouldn't somebody on a computer using AI software be able to create their own imagery? They should. It's a tool. It's no different from many other tools that have existed over the years. But the other side of it is that it's always going to come down to the imagination and originality of the person feeding the instructions into the AI program. It's not that you're going to type in an instruction and it's going to generate your shot, and that's that. The question is: is it actually interesting? Is it funny? Is it imaginative? And are you going to stitch it together to make a narrative, a story? Some people will make really great films that way. Some people will do exactly the same process and their film will be crap, just like in the normal film industry. Whether it's AI or anything else, it comes down to whether the person behind it — or the people behind it — have originality, imagination, and an ability to entertain people.”
