The Learning Curve | Network Effects

Understanding network effects and its use in today's interconnected world. Read on hasmukhkerai.com Read time: 4 mins Hi Reader, Today, we're diving into network effects. I've seen it applied in various professional formats: from franchised language schools and industrial machine distributors to employee wellness programs in large organisations. It's around us more than we know, yet often underestimated. This strategic concept is used extensively in today's highly connected world, whether...

Substack

Un nou jugador en el joc de plataformes de contingut. Temps de lectura: 4 mins Hola Reader, Últimament he estat pensant en Substack. No para d’aparèixer: en podcasts, entrevistes i a les biografies de creadors i escriptors que admiro. No puc evitar preguntar-me: hauria de ser allà també? Les plataformes van i vénen, però algunes es converteixen en moviments. Substack ho està intentant. I això importa, perquè les eines que fem servir per publicar condicionen com compartim, com creixem una...

Substack

A new player in the content platform game. Read time: 4 mins Hi Reader, Lately, I’ve been thinking about Substack. It keeps popping up. On podcasts, in interviews, and in the bios of creators and writers I admire. I can't help but think: should I be over there too? Platforms come and go, but some become movements. Substack is trying to be one. That matters, because the tools we choose to publish with shape how we share, how we grow an audience, and what kind of business (or impact) we build....

Teoria de l'internet mort

La major part és falsa ara, però el teu avantatge és ser real. Temps de lectura: 5 mins Hi Reader, Si alguna vegada has passejat pels carrers d’una ciutat tan tard a la nit que ja és ben d’hora al matí, potser t’ha passat pel cap un pensament estrany. En aquell silenci inquietant, pots arribar a sentir, per un instant, que ets l’única persona al món. Les multituds habituals han desaparegut, i l’absència del que hauria de ser-hi és impossible d’ignorar — fins que apareix algú, camí de la...

Dead internet theory

Most of it’s fake now, but your edge is being real. Read time: 5 mins Hi Reader, If you’ve ever walked a city street so late at night that it’s very early in the morning, you may have had a strange thought. In the eerie stillness, it can feel for a moment as though you’re the only person in the world. The usual crowds are gone, and the absence of what should be there is impossible to ignore, until some other person, off to start their working day, breaks the spell. Phew. The world is still...

No vaig anar-hi. No me’n penedeixo.

Ambition isn’t the enemy. Unclear ambition is. Temps de lectura: 4 mins Hola Reader, La setmana passada va ser plena d’esdeveniments de networking, inauguracions i trobades socials. No fa gaire, m’hauria sentit obligat a assistir-hi a tots. Aquesta vegada, no. No per rebel·lia, ni per cansament, ni per indiferència. Simplement necessitava posar límits més clars sobre on poso el meu temps i per què. Veus d'experts que m'han ajudat a clarir-ho. “...la nostra cultura glorifica l'estrès i d'estar...

No shows. No regrets.

Ambition isn’t the enemy. Unclear ambition is. Read time: 4 mins Hi Reader, This past week was full of networking events, business openings, and social mixers. Not long ago, I'd have felt obliged to show up. Not this time. Not out of rebellion, tiredness, or indifference. I just needed to set clear boundaries for myself. From the experts “...our culture glorifies burnout as a measure of success and self-worth… Burnout is not a badge of honour.” — Greg McKeown “Instead of wondering when your...

Pot parlar

Les regles del contingut, la creativitat i la connexió han canviat. Temps de lectura: 7 mins Hola Reader, Els vídeos fets amb Veo 3 són, probablement, la cosa més gran d’internet aquesta setmana. La manera com creem ja no tornarà a ser la mateixa. El vídeo amb IA ha arribat per quedar-se. I això només acaba de començar. La majoria de gent deixarà passar aquesta oportunitat. Pensaran que és massa tècnic. Massa car.Però la veritat és que al públic cada vegada li importa menys com s’ha fet una...

It can talk

The rules of content, creativity, and connection have changed. Read time: 5 mins Hi Reader, Veo 3 videos are probably the biggest thing on the internet over the past week. The way we create will never be the same again. AI video is here to stay. And it will only get crazier from here. Most people will miss this opportunity. They think it’s too technical. Too expensive.But the truth is: audiences care less and less about how something is made.They care if it’s entertaining, educational, or...
