ABOVE THE FOLD #14

Morning fam! Fun lil milestone: my podcast In Good Hands just passed the 15k subscriber mark. If you're a How I Built This fan + interested in hearing from founders taking on climate, you should give it a listen :) My fave ep is this recent convo w/ Lilium - the startup that's raised ~$400M to pioneer electric air travel. 

The links:

1. This Nike commercial.

2. The great FB acquiring IG email thread

3. Creativity is intelligence having fun.

4. Building a $6k/mo newsletter in <1 month

5. If you're gonna start something of your own, bookmark this link.

Thought: In 2005, Alex Tew (now co founder of Calm) created the Million Dollar Homepage to raise money for school. The page consisted of 1M pixels and he sold ad space for $1 per pixel. It went viral and ultimately made >$1M (backstory here).  What's the 2020 version of this? My bff and I thought of a potential take: "The $1M Mapp" - an app that's a map of the US (or maybe the world) where people could claim an area for some price. What else could work?
