About This Episode

Episode Description
Key Takeaways
Prioritize YouTube for podcast distribution because its search and recommendation engines provide superior long-tail discovery compared to the host-centric models of Apple and Spotify.
Shift focus from making products '10x better' to making 'impossible things possible' by using Web3 mechanics to change customer incentives, such as paying users to exercise.
Use 'Learn-to-Earn' models as a marketing strategy to incentivize users to complete core product actions, which drives both customer acquisition and long-term retention.
