be
→ write online daily for four years to build the habit, not the audience
→ pursue a "personal post-grad" in AI, sales, and behavior design
→ turn conversations into essays you can share as digital assets
→ embrace being "weird" and do what feels right
→ think like a scientist, not a builder (hypothesis, test, verify, repeat)
→ create conversation concepts to test ideas before building
→ teach others how to navigate the peak of Mount Stupid
→ host monthly dinners with strangers
→ recognize that decision-making, not development, is now the bottleneck
→ if you feel lost, just write what’s on your mind
Thanks for hanging out with us last week.
Key reminder:
Get off the Algorithmic Treadmill
Build a "Binge Bank" of digital assets instead.
You have to make a deliberate choice to spend less time on platforms that demand constant feeding to maintain visibility, e.g., traditional social media, where "if you stop posting, the algorithm just thinks you're a ghost".
Focus on creating a "binge bank" or "digital assets" on your personal website or newsletter platforms like Substack or Beehiiv.
Dominik has gone long periods of time without posting on Substack, and if there is an algorithm, he has "definitely messed with it" without any negative consequences.
This approach allows us to build a body of work that can be discovered organically over time, similar to how someone finds a TV show they like and wants "everything on this". These digital assets or breadcrumbs help build authority and trust. This leads to more human connections and opportunities.
