Spending Saturday doing the most boring but long-term high value thing to improve content for Vesting.
Individually labeling every video with the correct accurate context and then creating an entirely new google drive to store 10TBs of IRL content, Vlogs, Startup Pitches, and more.
It will take me probably 20 hours to get my content repo where it needs to be but once it's done, I will be able to put out 10x the amount of content, in probably 20 different formats.
Highly recommend for all my creators that have multiple content formats/styles.

Putting together a small NYC founder dinner next Thursday.
Mostly Seed and Series A, maybe a couple early B.
Have room for a few more. Who should I invite?

Is AI video at production quality yet?
We asked @masonwarner, creative director at Slash:
"Seedance 2.0 (ByteDance) is truly phenomenal."
"I think it's at production quality. We've been using it for our last five major launches and advertisements."
"Whatever production budgets I conceptualize in my head ($20,000-$100,000), I can do it for ~$1,000 to $2,000 of credits and 18 hours of just sitting on my computer."

Prime example of building a media business the wrong way.
Better way:
1. Pull up to restaurants and offer to do food reviews for free if they cover the food cost.
2. Package it as a series and run a pilot that shows you can get quality impressions
3. Find a cook wear brand that sells to restaurants, get them to sponsor the entire series, off them impressions getting directly in front of their target customer (the SMBs)
Now you have a format, someone paying for it, and you are providing free game to the restaurant so yes they will meet w your sponsor and you can provide them a warm intro 🤷🏽♂️
Too many creators hustling in reverse
A restaurant owner has called out food influencer Wasil Daoud who asked for $1,800 to create content while eating there
"I don't need a like from Brazil, I need to put out good food consistently and connect with people of Pittsburgh who spend their hard earned money"

One thing I've learned in building a media company, if a piece of news content goes crazy you will get hundreds of direct copy cats, format, style, all the way down to using the exact script/captions.
The only thing that cannot be replicated is net new original content and formats. Do something in your own style and be the first to do it, and every knock off version looks distasteful.

Brycent is the best dude ever
Work with my friend 👇
We're looking to bring on a few interns for @vesting_tv that are interested in social media, content creation, and editing.
These positions can also turn into part-time opps during the school year.

A year ago I left a $200k PE job out of undergrad to go all-in on my startup.
If you've got the itch, here's my advice: have conviction. Do it for yourself, not to keep up. Do it with the right people, at the time that makes sense for you.
Keep going and trust the process :)

Investing in Bland was the easiest decision at our firm. It’s still the fastest yes across our entire portfolio.
