Key Takeaways

1

Leverage generative AI to disrupt high-cost creative supply chains such as textile patterns or stock imagery where human labor is the primary expense.

2

Build a 'Twitter Empire' by applying the high-production YouTube playbook to text, using real-world events and celebrity collaborations to cross into mainstream cultural relevance.

3

Identify elite talent by looking for 'high-horsepower' individuals who demonstrate obsessive intensity and a drive to win in even their smallest hobbies, like board games or Wii Tennis.
