And.. that’s a wrap! Finished 5 days of recording for my upcoming audiobook of The Cold Start Problem - on creating and scaling network effects for marketplaces, social apps, workplace collab tools, and more Here’s the link to preorder: coldstart.com

This was my first time working with an audiobook director and team, reading 100,000 words over about 20 hours. All of this will get condensed down to about 11 hours of content I’ve never had my coughs, mispronounced words, and burps more loudly recorded and scrutinized 😂

It was weirdly fun to re-read the book from cover to cover. I was able to pack some of my favorite stories into the book - from the botched launch of Google+, to the invention of credit cards, to all the late nights jamming on Uber Vs Lyft strategies

Besides the audiobook, I have a couple other book updates It’s been wonderful to be supported folks I respect, like

and others, who have tweeted about the book! Thanks! I’ve also started to widely share the topics in the book - in an outline below

My goal in book sales is 10,000, and I’m most of the way there 😎. The biggest thing was to do a virtual speaking tour - but I asked every company to purchase some books. That’s been going great. I’ve often spiked up to be a top 1000 book overall on Amazon - pretty cool

Over the next month I’m going to be sharing a lot more of the ideas and content from the book. Very excited about this!! More soon.
