Ellis Hamburger

Incredible 😆

full ep out now, with Victor from Synthesia: access.show

The best storytelling hack? Just *say it out loud* 🙃

This forces you to put yourself in the audience's shoes, and helps ensure you don't sound like an informercial.

"The hard part of my job isn't getting computers to do things. It's getting *people* to do things." -Sublime's Sari Azout

as tony fadell once wrote, “The story of your product, your company, and your vision should drive everything you do.”

i appreciate the storytelling meme but tbh it's just the new content marketing 🙃

the real lever (that i try to practice) is feeling confident it's going to achieve all of your startup goals *long-term*, from recruiting to product strategy & selling investors on USP.

How do you build a moat as an AI wrapper?

Assume the big guys will come after you, says Harvey's Winston Weinberg. How would you defend it?

Even if it means giving up ground to other startups, planning for disruption is the best long-term plan.

Harvey's Winston Weinberg does interviews in Google Docs to weed out the "good talkers." Goated.

I’m launching Sources, a new publication about the tech industry’s inside conversation, and Access, a tech interview podcast with my friend @hamburger.bsky.social.

The first issue of Sources drops tomorrow, featuring an interview with Mark Zuckerberg, which airs in full on Access this Thursday.
