Big roles I'm hiring for at my companies. 1) @youdistro - Canva for Content We're building the last content software a marketer/creator needs. Ideation, creation, and distribution...all in one place. To do that, building a world-class brand that lives rent-free in the internet's head & efficiently acquires customers (prosumer & B2B) is mission critical. Our first marketing hire (Founding Marketing Lead) will be responsible for building this machine & executing it. More info below, but looking for someone who marries creative/content excellence with data/marketing funnel obsession. 2) @tenex_labs - McKinsey for AI Our mission is to help humanity to end up on the right side of history, post-AI. We do that through AI strategy, execution (engineering, process automation, AI training), and IP (incubating net-new AI products). We're growing like crazy and need to scale our technical talent like yesterday. We need more Technical Strategists (engineers-turned-client-facing-strategists) & Forward Deployed Engineers (eat, sleep, ship). JDs & apps below 👇

Brand is the 30 day moving average of how someone internally/externally describes your company (unassisted) to someone else. Which means that every touchpoint that you have as a company with your employees, prospects, customers, partners, etc. is an (intentional/unintentional) articulation of brand. Here are some of the touchpoints: 1) Visual identity - colors, design theme, website, email, social assets, visual content assets, sales decks, case studies, internal documents (onboarding, resource hub, etc) 2) Content - Site content, social content, newsletter content, multimedia content, email templates, JDs, applications, client comms, PR, interviews 3) People - how the core values of the business are/are not informing the daily behaviors of the team Your brand should be a super-magnet, attracting the resources we need to achieve our mission as a company.

I expected people would shit on me for launching an AI podcast host. Some combo of... "AI can't do interviews, they're innately human." "The questions will be canned and cookie cutter." "Great another f*cking content tool." But i've been blown away by the uptake to @youdistro. 11,000 unique hits to site. 2,500 free users. 1,000 studio sessions. 15,000+ studio minutes. $700 MRR. More than that, it's been a shit ton of fun building software for the first time, learning from a gifted technical co-founder, and thinking deeply about what allows for sustained success in software today. A few early learnings: 1) Four key moats will differentiate most software in an age of AI: UX/taste, speed, distribution, and data 2) It's hard to articulate just how quickly software products are becoming commoditized. A 10x engineer + Cursor can fully rebuild huge companies' core products in days & weeks, not months. 3) I haven't worked with a technical co-founder previously. I get so much joy in learning a little bit each day about a world I know so little about. I basically have a PhD in AI/comp sci at my disposal 24/7. It's so fucking cool. 4) An early user whatsapp community & personal daily usage has been the best way to identify product issues, generate product ideas, and prioritize our aggressive roadmap. Something big coming to tomorrow for Distro, but until then try it for free at youdistro[.]com.
