Hi Base Very happy to be here. I create a music NFT everyday on @base.base.eth This is from my new collection on @foundation Do you like Music Onchain?

The best product doesn't always win. The best story does. I was reminded of this by studying startup failures. Brilliant products, dead businesses. All because they couldn't tell their story the right way. Meanwhile, I was at this Bangkok record shop, and found a 1970s album that somehow traveled decades to reach my hands. That's the power of a great story. It finds its audience, no matter how much time passes. Your product might solve real problems. Your features might be amazing. But if you can't tell the story that makes people care, you're building in silence. Here's what I've noticed about founders who nail storytelling: - They don't talk about features. They talk about transformation. - They don't explain what their product does. They show what life looks like after using it. - They don't list benefits. They paint pictures of better futures. Stories compound. A customer who gets your story becomes your evangelist. They retell it, remix it, and bring others into your world... just like great music.

The day I started treating optimism like a business strategy, everything changed. Stanford research proves optimistic entrepreneurs grow revenue 31% faster and sell 37% better. Their "crazy" confidence becomes reality. I've battled self-hatred my whole life. Negative thinking loops that drain my energy and kill my spirit. As a founder, this got worse until the role taught me how to fight back. These negative moments aren't character flaws. They're anxiety from our unpredictable, high-stress work. Once you see this, you can step outside them. 🧠 Morning Check Rate your mindset 1-10 each day. Below 7? Use the steps below. 📊 Win Tracking Write down 3 wins daily.

Today’s Cassette Tape: Miles Davis Live @ The Black Hawk in 1961

As a founder-creator, your ideas are currency... But if you don’t protect your time and voice, the content treadmill will drain both. A lot of what you're doing can be automated. But the part that can’t...your perspective, your values, your voice. That’s where the gold is. So ask yourself: → What are you repeating every week that AI could handle? → Where are you wasting time trying to be everywhere? → Are you building a machine or just making noise? The founders pulling ahead aren’t louder. They’re sharper. More intentional. Less chaotic. They’ve built systems that scale their story without outsourcing their soul. That’s the difference. And that’s the work I’ve been doing with our powerful team at @tellr you’re building a brand from your brain, make sure it’s not built on burnout.

Lately I’ve been thinking about the irony… At Tellr, we’ve helped founders turn their voice into a growth engine. One of our clients just hit Top 10 in Health & Wellness across Europe after launching his first podcast. No ads. No viral guests. Just real conversations, sharp insights, and a system to amplify it all. → Record the convo → Extract gold → Turn it into content that travels → Distribute with intention → Learn and optimize Simple loop. Big results. But here’s the truth...while I build these machines for other founders, I’ve barely made time to do it for myself. I’m working on that. Because if there’s one thing I’ve learned, your ideas are only as powerful as your ability to share and execute on them.

Today’s Cassette Tape: Billy Cobham’s Glass Menagerie

Picked up this Panasonic cassette Walkman and so far it’s fun. 3 tapes in the bag for my work lunch

Today’s tape… John Coltrane Ballads A lil bootleg number I picked up in Bangkok

If your art, your writing, your story has to pass through an AI middleman just to reach another person… What are we really building? If you’re getting your news and content recommendations from an algorithm… Who wants you to consume that really?
