This is sickening. This is a travesty.
Doesn’t matter what you believe. This is wrong and dangerous.

I've interviewed 30 consumer product founders and creators for my podcast Brand, Sweat, & Tears. A definite pattern is emerging, that I think is worth sharing...

Would you give equity in your company to the right influencer?
That’s what @JT_Bass, CEO & Co-founder of @HopWtr, does with some macro influencers supporting their brand:
→ Dustin Poirier
→ Kaisa Keranen
→ Cam Duddy
→ Bryce Wong
→ Koa Smith
Their belief: HOP WTR wants influencers to be a part of the brand, love it organically, and embody everything the company stands for. When an influencer shows that level of ownership commitment, it’s fair to compensate them as such.
This is an interesting angle on macro influencer marketing, and as brands find their ideal influencer fits, I can see equity compensation growing in popularity. It feels like the inverse to influencer-founded brands — HOP WTR is an influencer-led brand with strong trust in their macro personalities, and it seems to working well for them.
Jordan, Taylor, and I talk more about @HopWtr, influencer strategy, and more in our newest podcast — I’ll drop the full episode in the comments.

Don’t mistake completion for progress. Crossing tasks off a to-do list creates an illusion of momentum.
We often favor trivial tasks we can finish now over worthwhile tasks that take longer.
The projects that matter most should take priority over those that are closest to done.

Amid the bewildering cacophony of info, how do people decide what to believe?
They tend to automate their reasoning in 1 of 5 ways. As such, there are 5 kinds of "NPC", each with its own customs and shortcuts to "truth".
Learn to recognize each with this handy guide.

“Rich Men North of Richmond” is the most listened to track in the world in the past 24 hours.
This American working-man’s protest song has millions & millions of plays.
Sung by an off-the-grid farmer in the countryside with his dogs.

Nixo is a new real-life shooter game (like paintball or Nerf or Laser Tag) but with foam balls and a suit that keeps score, combined with smart helmet / camera system. Looks fun to play!

There are domains where the knowledge of "what works" is mostly stacked on top of itself in a fairly linear way: physics, architecture, medicine...
But entrepreneurship is different. A strategy that worked reliably for decades, might never work again, or the exact opposite might work. Something that was tried and failed dozens of times might work this time.
It's true there are some principles that *tend* to stay the same, but entrepreneurs should be ready and willing to question *everything*
That's what makes it so interesting.
