Hi All!
Welcome to this month’s echo - a roundup of what’s been on my radar, what I’ve been pondering, and the gems I’ve stumbled across lately. Enjoy!

TECH & DESIGN
Claude App Build → ADDICTED → DIY BTS - In a week or two, with the help of Claude, we built a podcast app for the ADDICTED series. Directors apply and simply answer the podcast on their own phone, desktop - no scheduling around busy, traveling creatives. Everything gets edited and mixed afterward, and the podcast is done. Lesson: play with the AI tools, give an idea a few hours or days, even a small tool is worth building.
Code & Media as leverage - There are three ways to multiply your output: labor and capital both need someone else's yes. The new one doesn't - code and media copy themselves for free. Write software or publish an essay once, and it works for you forever, at zero marginal cost, without permission. Wrong question: "how many hours can I sell?" Right question: "what can I build once that serves a million times?"
ON THE WATCHLIST
Japanese Commercials 2023 - Tommy Lee Jones doing his thing in Japan. Funny, weird, and cool in equal parts.

"One of the more effective ways to force yourself to have better ideas is to create an artificial constraint. For many years, I wrote two articles per week and it would often take me over 20 hours to complete each article. Then I said, "If I only had 2 to 4 hours per week to write my newsletter, what would I do?" That artificial constraint led to the creation of the 3-2-1 newsletter, which has become an incredibly popular format. Sometimes you can improve by cutting your options off."
