ABOVE THE FOLD #28

Happy Friday y'all! We just dropped a special ep w/ returning guests Corey Nobile and Nick Oliveri, cofounders @Impact Snacks. We riff on a bunch of potential biz ideas- some good inspo for new projects! Tune in here.

4. Helsinki's "city as a service" (cities should try this more)

Takeaway of the week: The best way to win vs your enemies is to ignore them and quietly continue to succeed. As George Bernard Shaw says, “Never wrestle a pig. You’ll both get dirty, but the pig will enjoy it.”

Fun fact of the week: the Olympic Games included an art competition until 1948

Idea of the week: every year I subscribe to Showtime when Homeland // Billions drop their new season. I stay subscribed as they publish over the next ~10 weeks, then end my subscription. My hunch is many people sub to a streaming channel for 1-2 shows they really love. What if there was a service that let ppl subscribe to a single show (instead entire channel), and split the rev with the channel? Of course, this is big driver of sign up volume, so the big Q is what % of people don't sign up for services because they only want one show. Hmmm
