Happy Labor Day weekend, friends.
Here's some non-SaaS content to kick off your weekend.

For $25B in annual subscription sales, you'd think Amazon Prime Video wouldn't be the absolute worst TV app in the world.

And that's why I support today's announcement on forgiving $10K per borrower.
Yes, I do think people need to understand what they're getting into when taking on debt. (See: access to financial education.)
And yes, I paid off my loans.
I still want my fellow citizens to win.

I've had a personal vendetta against the broken education system in the US for years.
That's why I joined the early team to democratize access to education.
That's why I helped build 's online school of entrepreneurship...

"Higher ed has increased its prices by 1400% since the late 1970s, but the product has not appreciably changed." -
What other product do you know of that increased prices by 14x with no additional value to you?

Very happy to hear about $10K student debt forgiveness. Gives the people who need it most a fair shot.
When can we start working on the root problem? Making education more accessible in the US for the next generation...

Made a little tutorial this week inspired by users 'hacking' our app to make swipe files.
It's not the intended use case, but Punchlist works pretty nicely to swipe landing pages, ads, etc. and turn it into a comment-able conversation.

Gotta love the closed caption creativity. (food plopping wetly)
Really digging this tool for making interactive walkthroughs of .
It's almost like if Loom and CloudApp had a baby and Userpilot was the nanny.

Had an absolutely killer time hosting the @Punchlist team in Durham for our summer all-hands meeting! Between baseball and beers we built not one but TWO new features for the app.

Did every marketer read the same article about emailing "congrats on the recent fundraise!" ?
Feels like there's no originality in cold outreach.
And no I don't want to jump on a 30 min call.

This is one of the more spot-on ads I've seen in a while

Time to go on vacation where everything's just as expensive as back home, vs. slightly more or less expensive.
#HustleNetflix is such a wonderfully feelgood movie with an Adam Sandler twist.
Plus awesome cinematography and editing in the training montage 🔥

Just finally got access to Arc by and already changing the way I think about internetting.
Plus they have one of the best, simplest pre-launch marketing sites I've seen.

Getting flashbacks from 2009 when every company was doing 20-25% layoffs.
If you've been affected and need support (specifically in the startup space), my DMs are open. I'll do what I can.

Just saw this clip for the first time. I've had lots of debates in my own head around this topic...how much should a startup lean on technology versus value prop to customer? I've never seen a better answer than this.

That was really uplifting. Felt like we were in this together.

Driving to NYC. A container pool company I was talking with was on way in Indiana.
- 2 founders. Used to be in advertising.
- started 3 years ago
- can’t keep up with demand
- expanding to bigger warehouse
Called Trek Pools.
They filled me in on the biz…seems amazing.

A friend in Philadelphia is asking if there are any good in-person happy hours for small biz owners
to discuss things like client onboarding systems, accounting etc.
NOT necessarily ad based.
He runs a local service business.
Any recs? I've been out of the game for too long.

Gordon Ramsay: Uncharted is one of the more brilliant rebranding PR plays.
Guy who used to be a typical angry cursing male chauvinist chef.
Now exalting the world's top female chefs and taking notes from their teachings.
All the while, subtly showing that he's an outdoorsman.

In my opinion the best way to learn SEO is to start fresh, and constantly learn. It changes so dramatically every year.

First time I learned SEO was 1999 when I was 13. Pre-Google monopoly.
You had to manually submit your site to all the different search engines. And I was apparently doing what we now call "content marketing" too.
Then in 2017 I taught myself on-the-job with classes & practice.

There are many paths to learning SEO.
You could:
- Start a site from scratch
- Go to conferences
- Read articles
- Work at an agency or in-house team
- Buy and run your own website
- Find a mentor
How did you start learning SEO?
