WHO ELSE DROPPING A LAUNCH VIDEO FOR A NEWSLETTER!!!!! I left Substack ~6 months ago to take some time off, shitpost, and think about the next leg of my career. But it was never actually complicated: when I was 11 my friends started a rock band, and they asked... me to be their manager. For better or worse my entire life has been downstream of that — I want to become the best in the world at commercializing art. There are plenty of ways that'll come to life in the coming years, but for now I'm starting off by launching a newsletter on branded entertainment. Brands and tech companies are uniquely equipped to help artists take big creative swings, and I'm going to explore the intersection of those worlds. These companies are effectively modern entertainment studios, so how can they build better media properties? If you're curious about stunts, shows, or new media, I'm confident you'll enjoy this. Change is afoot on the internet, and it'd be wise to pay attention. Subscribe for free in the place one usually does that sort of thing <3show more

carlos shared a lot of hints about his upcoming ‘team fiftyfive’ project when asked about making f1 more accessible to fans: “i always try and build a community of fans around me. this year i'm starting a new project actually that we're going to be launching in the next few months that people are already starting to get excited for, which is going to be basically growing a brand and a community for people to join along the way. “one thing that i've realized is that people don't only follow me as an individual, as an athlete, they also follow my team and when i talk about my team, i talk about my manager, my coach, my driver coach, my dad, and they see us as a team. in social media, they call us, and i call us, team fiftyfive. it's a group of people that we travel around the world, being part of an f1 team, trying to have fun, trying to enjoy ourselves, but trying to win. and i realize that a lot of our fans, i want them to be part of team fifityfive. i want to make them feel like they are part of that community, that very small community that is a core of five people, but to expand it, to make sure whenever you come to my grandstand in madrid, whenever you come to my grandstand in barcelona, whenever you come to film a youtube video with us, you feel part of that community and for that i'm gonna create something that i cannot reveal now exactly all the details as i said, but that i feel like people have been waiting for for a long time, and i'm gonna approach it a bit in a different manner than what you commonly see with athletes, i'm gonna try something a bit different, but i hope people enjoy it and they appreciate the effort that my team has put together to create this community.”

it's my birthday. sometimes I feel like I'm 10 years behind in life. deep down I know that that this year will be the best and hardest year of my life but I gotta be honest the five folks who care for a minute. spent the past decade depressed, embarrassed that I wasn't more talented or more successful, guilt ridden for not being mature enough to handle life the way I would've liked when I was younger, keeping my head down trying to work on myself and trying to hone my skills to be a better storyteller. just years of telling myself I'm not good enough, telling myself I'm not old enough or lucky enough. telling myself who the fuck cares about what I do or create. like how the fuck can I do what so many others do. fuck off for even thinking you can do it stephen. I'm not a special person, I'm just a dude. some idiot. who has been in the film industry since I was a kid. an industry I left for a while because I needed to disconnect, I needed time to figure out my life after working since the second grade. needed to find my love and passion. and I did. which is making things for people to enjoy. but it hasn't been that simple. that pivot was like a hard reset. suddenly everything I'd ever achieved meant nothing. it's been a constant grind every day while trying to keep a roof over my head taking on retail jobs, service jobs, handyman gigs after leading shows and movies. and that's okay. like I've gotten clowned on it but you gotta make it work. in between all of that I've been lucky to work with huge brands, do stellar uncredited work on amazing flicks and slowly chip away on my own goals. for the past decade I haven't been able to sleep easily. can't turn off my brain. thinking about how I'm never doing enough for hours just in bed. telling myself maybe it'll be different tomorrow while hiding from the world making unhealthy decisions, not taking care of myself. a lot of times I do feel like I've missed out on my life, especially the past ten years. I've just been working. when I'm not working I'm working on the side with nothing to show for it. just endless chasing rent while being delusional about creating a better life. if you're not careful this kinda dream can suck the life out of you. you lose your passion for it. but I haven't. so much of me has just been waiting in the background of my own life, thinking there would be some moment of realization when I've worked on myself enough and I suddenly I feel like "oh I've got this." waited for that moment but it never came. don't think it ever will. I'm tired of waiting, I'm tired of thinking I'm not ready, I'm tired of telling myself I'm not good enough. it's not true. I won't give up. I won't give up on trying to entertain people. I won't give up on my dream of helping my friends fulfill their own. I never will. love and appreciate all of you for sticking with me and watching what I do and being here for me. 90% of my body is made of movies, games and soundtracks; so because I'm a cringe dork, I have meme'd for years that I feel like reclusive bruce wayne in the dark knight rises (but broke and less handsome) afflicted by failures unable to accept that my life can go on. but that's bullshit. maybe I needed an era to change and hurt and struggle and learn and become who I wanted to be. life comes and goes in eras. and I'm in my begins era now baby.

Rick Rubin tells Andrew Huberman how he deals with creative or writer’s block. He treats his work like a diary entry (and doesn’t worry about internal or external judgment): ➡️ “What's the cause of the block? The block is usually something that's either personal ("I'm not good enough") or it can be a confidence issue ("I don't have anything to say") or it could be...thinking about someone else ("nobody's going to like what I make"). Do you know what I'm saying? So, it's either fear of self-judgment or external judgment. If you're making something with a freedom of "this is something I'm making for myself for now", that is all [you have to do]. It is a diary entry. Everything I make is a diary entry. The beauty of a diary entry is that I can write my diary entry and you can't tell me that my diary entry wasn't good enough. Or that [the diary entry] is not what I experienced. Of course it's what I experienced: I'm writing a personal diary for myself and no one else can judge if it is my experience of my life. Everything we make can be that: a personal reflection of who we are in that moment of time. It doesn't have to be the greatest you could ever do. It doesn't have to have any expectation that it's going to change the world. It doesn't have to sell a certain number of copies for any reason. It doesn't have any of those things at all. It is "I'm making this thing for me and I want to do it to the best of my ability and to where I feel good about it". [The work] is honest of where I'm at and if you're living in this world of just being honest to where you're at, there's nothing blocking you. There are no blocks. The blocks are all based on dealing with a different force or a different perception that is made up.” ⬅️

Zara Larsson accepts the Breakthrough award at the ‘Billboard Women In Music 2026’. #BBWomenInMusic “[…] I’m not new and there are so many years of hard work behind an overnight success or a breakthrough. I’ve been an artist for over a decade now but lately things have really changed for me in my life and my career. So I’ve been trying to figure out what was it that happened? What was it that made the change happen? And when I was younger I wanted to be the best so bad and the annoying part of being the best in any art is that it’s subjective and you just have to, what I learned is that you have to be the most you because only you could be the best of that. And I feel like I become the most me around amazing women. So I didn’t suddenly become a better performer. I just changed who I was around and that was my breakthrough…”

CoreWeave $CRWV CEO Michael Intrator, on the Big Technology Podcast, providing what I believe is the most compelling rebuttal to the narrative that GPUs only have a 2 to 3-year useful life. CoreWeave's customers are the world's most sophisticated users of GPUs, and they are signing contracts to utilize today's GPUs for the next 5 years, despite Nvidia's new product release cadence resulting in more efficient GPUs every 1-2 years. The use-case for the GPUs might change over time as Nvidia rolls out new products (e.g. older chips are moved from training to inference workloads), but the "usefulness" does not. "The most important tool that I have for understanding what the depreciation curve or the obsolescence curve of compute is not what I think, right? It's not what some historic short (seller) thinks. It's what are the buyers, the most sophisticated companies in the world are willing to pay for today. And when they come to me and they put in a contract for a 5-year deal or 6-year deal, in what world do I not think that they who are the consumers of this understand that there are new, more powerful chips coming out? Of course they do. They understand it, but they also understand what their various use cases are. And they're saying to themselves, "I'm going to buy this because I'm going to need it today. I'm going to need it in 3 years, and I'm going to need it in 5 years"... My opinions around depreciation are informed by the only entities that get to vote in my world, which are the folks that are paying for the compute over time."

Anish Acharya: We're going to see a "YouTube moment for software": "If you think about YouTube 20 years ago—we had lots of video and lots of television, and it was high production quality, and it wasn't clear that we needed more and 20 years later, YouTube's a $550 billion enterprise that would be one of the biggest companies in the world if it was independent." "I think the same thing is going to happen for software. People want to make software, and for the first time they can—and they can distribute it and they can consume it." "Sometimes it's going to be important software. Sometimes it's going to be totally trivial. It's going to be software for a bachelor party weekend, software for a joke, software for a prompt. We have this sort of seriousness about software that we had about video and television 20 years ago." "Now it's like—I just took a video on my phone. It's going to be like—I just made an app on my phone. Same energy." Anish Acharya on BILLIONS with Guillaume Moubeche

i’ve been fortunate enough to be mentored by some of the most experienced designers in tech early in my career. (thanks to the lads at LI.FI & ParagonsDAO) these learnings never made me compromise on the creative trust that i owed to every founder and team i worked with. for the last 3 years, every project came through referrals from clients and friends (ilu), so i never really felt the need to launch. but in a post ai era, i believe that peer-to-peer learning would be one of the most important aspects of growing as a designer or even as a studio. we've spent the last year experimenting obsessively with ai tools, workflows, storytelling systems, and new ways of creating. so it feels like the right time to share learnings and build in public. launching dapptales publicly - a creative studio specialising in tasteful storytelling for tech companies. and here's a little video about what we're best at :))

I started working at Apple when I was 23 years old and spent ~8 years there. I learned a lot, but deep down, I hated the idea that this was just how life was supposed to be… work at a desk until I’m 65, retire, and then finally have the time to actually live before I die. Today, thanks to Starlink and 𝕏, my life looks completely different vs others. It’s a dream for many, but a reality for me. I can go anywhere in the world - even sit next to a waterfall like this - with internet beamed down to me from space and the ability to instantly share my thoughts with millions of people. I can work. I can create. I can invest in the companies and technologies I believe will change the world. And most importantly, I can do it all while actually living my life and spending my time the way I choose. That kind of freedom is priceless to me. A lot of people often talk about technology in terms of speed, $, or convenience… but I think one of the greatest things technology can give us is freedom… the freedom to work from anywhere, create from anywhere, and build a life that doesn’t have to wait until retirement. Starlink has completely changed what “anywhere” means for me. And the wild thing is, when I close my eyes and think about the life I always dreamed of living in the future… I realize I’m living it right now.

.Shaun Maguire: "Let's say there are ten very successful defense tech companies started this decade or so. My guess is seven of them have already been started." "I am personally more in the growth mindset now. I think there are these moments in time that create an opportunity for the first movers to go build companies that could not have existed prior, and the Ukraine war was that for a lot of defense tech." "The companies that were started immediately then or right before and are actually delivering value abroad in some of these active theaters, are on a different level than the ones just getting started now."

Former Seattle Fox reporter Brandi Kruse admits to President Trump that she is "living proof that you can recover from TDS" and then proceeds to completely destroy the legacy media in the room... "I was told by probably a dozen people not to tell you this. I'm going to tell it to you anyway, because it's relevant to what we're talking about. I'm living proof that you can recover from TDS. I had strong Trump derangement syndrome for probably eight years. This is one of the reasons I recovered from it. And by the way, it's much better to not have TDS. I'm happier. I'm healthier. More successful. I even think I got a little more attractive after I got rid of my Trump derangement syndrome. I'm a reporter in Seattle, and frankly, I could not care any less what any of you have to say about this meeting. Could not care any less. We're not here for you. I'm not here to convince any of you that Antifa is a real thing, because if you have not come to that conclusion by now, you are never going to come to that conclusion, because you don't want to see it. And you're going to go and you're going to say it's a bunch of right-wing conservative influencers who are here spinning a tale. I was one of you. I was a mainstream reporter in Seattle for 10 years. I was a TV reporter on the streets doing my job, and I was still assaulted by Antifa. So it's not about being conservative. It's about people who go there and show what they're doing. And when I saw after all those years that the media wouldn't be honest about what was happening, that Democratic politicians wouldn't be honest about what was happening, I thought, well, gosh, if they're not being honest about that, maybe they're not being honest about President Trump either. And it opened my mind to just looking at things for what they were. And now I find you quite funny, actually. Now I'm much happier about it. But for me, again, I could not care any less the stories that they go to print." BRAVO 👏👏👏

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."

🎙️ : “carlos sainz had some lovely things to say about you [..] he said that you're the most open driver on the grid, but that in the modern world, sometimes people can use that against you. how important is it to you to be this open book that you are?” lando: “that's tricky. i don't know if it's about importance. it's not like i'm trying to be like this because i think it's important. i'm just being myself and i'd rather be myself than try to be something i'm not. i'd rather do what i enjoy in my life and feel like i've just done what i feel like i should have done in my life than try to pretend i'm someone else or try to pretend like i'm the racing driver that everyone thinks you need to be or should be. a lot of people like to set these stereotypes and some things are probably right and along better lines. for me, i just want to enjoy my time here. i work hard. i do everything i can to win races and try to be the best. but that's it. other than that, i'm here to enjoy my life, share it with others and try to stand on the top step and that's as simple as i try and keep it”

Marc Andreessen explains the 3 Necessities for Start-up Success: "The general criteria for a successful high-tech startup, in my view, you see different sort of rules of thumb from different people. But the three big things you always come back to are, is there a big market? And by the way, that comes in two parts. Is there a big existing market that you think you can go after and sort of displace incumbents or do you believe there will be a new market that will be big? So big market. Is there a fundamental technology or economic change that causes you to basically justify having a new company? And that's really important. And the way I always think about that is, is there a 10X change happening in the technology landscape? Is something 10X faster or 10X cheaper or 10X better? And if it's not 10X, we as both VCs and entrepreneurs, we really have to ask ourselves like, is it really worth doing? Because it's really hard. I mean, it's really hard to start new companies. new companies generally shouldn't exist. Existing companies are usually pretty good at what they do. And so for a new company to exist, it not only has to like come in and go into business and bring a product to market, but it has to bring a product to market that's so much better than what already exists that it punches through the sort of status quo. And most customers in most markets are pretty happy buying from the current suppliers and so there has to be a real kind of edge on the thing and we look for that in either a technology change, usually a technology change or an economic change. which are often the same thing. And then the third is team. Is the team outstanding? And if you think about this as an entrepreneur, it becomes a question of the founding team. Some companies are solo founders and they can work, but generally most of us, like myself, we're human beings, we're mortal. You want to have a founding team of complementary skill sets. And so you want to have at least one super strong technologist, quite possibly more than one. Some of the best startups are actually more than one founding technologist and then it often helps to have somebody who's like a product or who's a market or sales person or has a sort of really good understanding of business on the team, certainly helps a lot. And so we sort of look at market, product, and team. And the reality is you need all three. I would say, interestingly, if you're going to compromise as an investor, if we're going to compromise on one of those, it would actually be the product. And the reason I say that is because a great market is a lot easier to make up for with iterative product execution than a poor market. Because the problem with a poor market, a small market, is even if you do a great job on the product, there just aren't that many customers. It's hard to ever get big."

Collins: Do you still believe that Thanksgiving should be canceled? Hong: I'm a chef, and one of the first meals that I made was for the community when I was 16 was a Thanksgiving meal. But Thanksgiving is also a time that's incredibly painful for many people in our communities. And so I think there, I wanted to make sure that people understood that there are multiple views, but views can evolve. And the position that I'm running for right now, and I think my background as a chef will actually help me become a better governor that's able to bring more people to the table.

This couple is having a wedding that will reflect who they are. They openly don’t seem to care if anyone will actually go or not. I think weddings are a celebration for everyone to join in for a special day. But I also think that offending guests before they even go might be a decision that will turn in a decision full of regret. So here’s my take on this. The way I see it is that they are going to be disappointed. I know others might argue and say that it’s selfish for the guests to not go because of the conditions set forth by the bride and groom, however it goes both ways. If they know guests won’t like the conditions of the wedding, then maybe they should compromise a little. I think they should give people options. I feel that this is going to show the bride and groom who is actually their real friends and who aren’t in their eyes. They won’t care if the guests don’t like the wedding rules, they are going to expect them to go because they think that their attendance shows that they care and that they are local.

Harry about why he chose to do residencies in certain cities on Zane Lowe “I think it makes the show better. I think you can build something that doesn't have to travel every night. I think the show itself is better. I think there's something in this that allows me to like stay in my life while I'm doing it and therefore I think allows me to take care of myself better, which I think makes me better at doing the thing. It's not like I'm saying I'll never travel again, but I want to see what it looks like if you do it a different way. And you know, people in my band have like families now and kids and some aspect of that, too. It's really important to me that they're on the road that I would love to like have them and I don't want to make it like near impossible for them to be able to do that with me.”

Elon Musk: If you're not rigorous about truth and honesty, you'll live in a deluded world. “I aspire to be honest, but I'm also sometimes wrong. So, obviously, one can't be right all the time. And I do believe one should stand to be corrected. The reason I believe in sort of truth and honesty is because I'm trying to understand the universe. I'm trying to understand reality, trying to understand what's the meaning of life, what are we here for, what's going on? If you're not rigorous about truth and honesty, then you're obviously going to live in a deluded world. You won't understand the nature of reality. So, I'm just curious, and I want to understand the nature of reality. That requires rigorous adherence to the truth.” From: Town Hall in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, October 24, 2024

This is probably my stopping point right here, as I've been working on this for the last four to five hours, and the costs of spending more time on this are outweighing the benefits. The issue I'm running into now is that it doesn't seem to be agentic enough to be able to do stuff on its own that is meaningful, such as build apps generatively and take my feedback. I do think that the technology has a lot of promise, so I will check back in a couple weeks or months to try and pick up where I left off.
