I spent 30 days analyzing Airbnb’s marketing, here’s what I learned:

Photos are STILL the #1 thing absolutely murdering website speed.

Introducing Smol. Smol makes files smaller — images, PDFs, and videos — instantly, right on your Mac. No cloud. No uploads. No accounts. Every designer, developer, and creative runs into the same invisible tax: Files are too big. Too big to email. Too slow to upload. Too heavy for Notion. Too annoying for Slack. Too bulky for Git. So we all do the same dance: Find a website. Upload the file. Wait. Download it. Rename it. Move it back. Over and over again. Smol is the faster way. It lives in your menu bar. You drop a file, it gets smaller, and you move on with your day. No browser tabs. No subscriptions. No sending private files to strangers’ servers. The best local compression for a one-time $29. (Introductory price.)

One of the most useful AI tools I’ve come across on X today.

I don’t know what @elonmusk did, but my X feed is so much better put together lately. Really interesting intellectual posts this week. No more political nonsense and brain rot. What a beautiful difference from Meta and TikTok!! I’ve really been enjoying the changes.

The best marketing hack: Make your product so good that people feel stupid for not buying it.

Most businesses fail because the owner gives up before the business has a chance to grow.

Nobody regrets learning one skill: sales. It’s the cheat code to every door you want to open.

Here’s the branding playbook: Be memorable. Be trustworthy. Be impossible to replace.

Want to market better? •Learn to write. •Learn to speak. •Learn to think. Invest in skills that sell ideas, not just products.

Most people think investing in themselves is expensive. What they don’t realize is that staying the same costs way more.

Louis Vuitton doesn’t advertise discounts. Apple doesn’t talk specs. Here’s what they do instead: 1. They make you feel like owning their product says something about YOU. 2. They turn customers into status symbols.

Why most people stay stuck: 1. They worry about looking stupid. 2. They chase shortcuts. 3. They never start. Take action on your dreams. Nobody else will.

Rule #1 for life: don’t take criticism from someone you wouldn’t take advice from.

Apple’s real product is trust. Everything else is just packaging.
