ADVICE

Ship Often And Listen Closely

  • Publish prolifically while keeping quality high; aim for 8–10 tweets daily to get discovered.
  • Listen to audience responses and lead the conversation like a dance rather than a speech.
ADVICE

Use Conversation To Filter Ideas

  • Use conversations and drafts as a filtering system to find ideas that resonate before publishing.
  • Ship imperfect work often; the internet forgets flops and amplifies winners.
INSIGHT

Every Medium Has A Bias

  • Each medium expresses a different hue of your thinking and has its own bias.
  • Use multimodal output because Twitter, podcasts, essays, and video reveal different facets of your voice.
