An inflation-adjusted chart of Global Box Office + Home Video compared to budget. All in millions. The inspiration from this episode was Tyler Cowen’s response to Tim Ferriss’s question: What would you put on a billboard? “If you look at billboards we actually have, what do you see on those billboards? The billboards I see a lot of them are advertisements for insurance. Some of them are, “Don’t drive drunk.” You see a bail bondsman on billboards and suicide hotlines. I guess I would study the market

This is an attempt at understanding R0 (reproductive number) as more than a numbing number. View these notes as less definitive. In his (2014) paper Risking It All: Why are public health authorities not concerned about Ebola in the US?, Yaneer Bar-Yam writes about why R0 isn't an even distribution.One April report noted the coronavirus reproductive number was 5.7 but offered a range of 3.8-8.9. In January the estimate was 2.6. There's many reasons but one is that the reproductive number varies by

I finally found the name for a thing I’d noticed. For a long time, I was in a crowd, of ideas, not people. I saw something, only a glimpse. Without knowing what it was, or what to look for I didn’t know how to see it again. Then, a succession, bam-bam-bam, I saw it and I heard its name. Jobs-to-be-done. Enjoy. This is a public episode.

This week is an alphabetical experiment from a long piece of content.No one knows everything but we don't know what specifically we are wrong about. Sometimes we guess right. Sometimes we don't. Sometimes the HiPPO chooses. Sometimes the Highest Paid Person's Opinion is right. Sometimes it's not. The solution to all the 'sometimes' is a debate. Good arguments are central to that. Devil's advocate, red teams, debate are all synonyms for this idea - and it doesn't matter what we call it so much as how

❇️ ease

2019/10/28

What is ease? It’s sending a message “in stride”. It’s coaches to a player, copywriters to a reader, a legislator to a constituent. Whenever we want to persuade someone we should make it easy for them. What’s common to these situations is the interactions. Recently I finished Alexandra Watkin’s book, Hello My Name is Awesome. It’s a good, quick, fun book. Watkin’s big idea is to make names that offer ease to a consumer, specifically naming things that “have something people can latch onto.” It has

Relating to last week’s episode about stakeholders is the cadence of work they allow, permit, or encourage. This week is heavy on examples from entertainment. It’s artsy and I’m okay with that. As the replicable parts of our jobs change with technology the non-replicable parts become more important. One of those is creativity. In Tyler Cowen’s book, Average Is Over he wondered what was scarce (read: valuable), one idea, “Intellectual property, or good ideas about what should be produced.” Another,

🤝 Stakeholders

One big email this week, as the experiment continues. Briefly, businesses succeed with the right people making the right decisions over time. In this episode, we call them stakeholders. This idea is obvious yet there’s value in thinking about the principal-agent problem, inbound referrals, and the ‘skills to pay the bills.’ There are also cameos from two classic characters from the 1980s.

💡 What’s it take to have a good idea and where do we get them? 💎 Good ideas are like precious elements, only instead of centuries for chemical bonds to form, one new perspective can spark one.

I need to send this out to populate the RSS feed so that iTunes will validate the feed and the episodes will populate in other podcast players like Overcast. Ideally the form has to match the function and I never listen to the audio episodes in my inbox. Rather, audio is a ‘podcast job’ and so that’s where I’d like this to land. Thank you for
