It’s great to be busy at work. 💪 But I would rather do less, better than do more, badly.

A great thread about how we should be making content native to each platform, not trying to send people elsewhere.
So here’s a 🤯 quote from ShipBob’s new Head of Content @amandanat: “people aren't scrolling through Twitter in hopes of leaving Twitter.” 🧵 There’s so much to unpack here...
We’ve been repackaging podcasts and webinars at useprocket.com for ~3 months We just completed repackaging our 200th episode for customers. Here’s a thread with a few things we’ve learned 👇👇👇

Tech companies who create a place where creators want to work, because they can do great work will have a distant advantage 👇
Replying to @balajis
For every billion in valuation, a tech co should spend a few million on original content, with their own editor-in-chief. Not on PR; that’s just an interface to legacy media corporations. Tell your own story, it’s your defense budget. Bloomberg isn’t Bloomberg without Bloomberg.

Content shouldn't live and die on the platform where its originally published. One blog post should become a: > LinkedIn update > YouTube video > Podcast episode > Visual graphic > Instagram post > And so much more.. Embrace repurposing. Embrace remixing. Embrace distribution.

Many people think they are striving for perfection when in fact in fact they are striving for some particular thing that is no more or less perfect than any of the other things they could have more easily or quickly made. It is not about perfect, it is about a dream being real.

Odd. No one is in denial of America’s Aug 21 total solar eclipse. Like Climate Change, methods & tools of science predict it.
