Segments
- 00:00 — Why most building in public is marketing theater, and what doing it for real costs.
- 14:20 — The mother-company thesis: one owned platform that houses every venture instead of scattered landing pages.
- 29:45 — The documentation rule: if it ships, it gets written up. If it fails, it gets written up harder.
Key takeaways
- An owned platform compounds; rented distribution resets to zero every algorithm change.
- The mother company holds the audience so each venture does not start from nothing.
- Seasons, not streams: document in structured arcs with a beginning and an end.
