One of the great challenges of building a brand on the internet is a central tradeoff: Do you chase the possibility an infinitely larger audience? Or do you lean into the internet's ability to unlock niche-at-scale? @tbpn choose influence in a niche over broad-based attention.
.@tbpn on embracing their niche: "We make content for 200 thousand people. People that run companies, invest, work at the most important tech companies in the world. A very small group of people. If it's interesting to us, it's probably interesting to that group."

A highlight of Dialectic this year was the tail end of my convo with Chris. I read him a poem I found on his old blog: Wendell Berry's 'Manifesto: The Mad Farmer Liberation Front'. It prompted this response, which I named the episode after. May we all drift back toward real.
Chris Sacca's reflection after realizing that he'd achieved his 20-year-old self's wildest dreams: "My biggest goal is hoping that my drift is... back to the real me. The me that hopefully I've been, or was covered in layers of either pretense, or inauthenticity, or striving."

I'm going full time on @dialecticpod with the support of @notionHQ. A few thoughts on what the future holds, what Dialectic means to me, and why Notion is the perfect presenting partner: A year ago, I started interviewing some of my smart friends without much of a strategy. I

Chris's frustration that getting crushed in the dot com bubble was merely slowing him down reminds me of a theme @GrahamDuncanNYC comes back to often when talking about great investors: Inspired by Jim Dethmer, it is about whether things are “happening to me vs. by/through me"
Chris Sacca on losing $16M in the dot com bubble and being worth negative $4M: "But when I was $4 million in the hole--what I've now been told was different--was at no point did I consider that failure, or I'm out, or I have to move back home. I was just so angry that this

Greatness can't be planned. Visions can be overrated. But when you ambitiously and iteratively unfold into something, you often find that you've been preparing for it for your entire life. The dots only connect in reverse.
One one hand, @tbpn was "unplanned." It started as an experimental podcast and now it's daily television. On the other, for @jordihays, "it feels like the natural evolution of everything that we've worked on. I feel like we both started working on TBPN like a decade ago."

No one will care about you if you're not providing them with an opportunity to make money. People often think influence is a function of virality, when it's really a function of the economic opportunity you provide. This is why people want to hear from: - VC backed founders -

best podcasts are those that make you feel like you’re in the room listening with the host and the guest. @DialecticPod and @OtherStuffPod do this perfectly.
