Episode notes

Taking something others consider not serious and bringing seriousness to it can lead to bigger success. The same approach was taken with newsletters, which resulted in a lucrative business. Many people underestimate the potential of such ventures. Similarly, the latest business aims to transform a hobby-like activity into something taken seriously. While there are some who recognize its value, many still view it as a small and insignificant endeavor. However, the unique style and desirability of the product sets it apart, attracting members through design, FOMO, and captivating content.

Episode 498: Shaan Puri (https://twitter.com/ShaanVP) and Sam Parr (https://twitter.com/theSamParr) talk about the coolest stuff they’ve seen this week—like why Nancy Pelosi may be out-investing Warren Buffet and how Cultural Tutor is winning Twitter by taking it more seriously than everybody else.
