INSIGHT

Lean Startup Approach

  • Leverage existing data (bookmarks) and combine it with first-party data (user goals/business).
  • This allows a lean startup to provide valuable insights without extensive AI or large teams.
ADVICE

Desktop Social Media

  • Use social media apps only on desktop to reduce dopamine hits and avoid getting sucked in.
  • Remove the most addictive apps from your phone.
ADVICE

Analogies and Conversational Storytelling

  • Use analogies to make ideas stick, especially when explaining complex topics or selling.
  • Conversational storytelling, using "he goes" or "she goes," increases engagement.
