Key Takeaways
Identify and exploit underpriced attention by staying obsessive about platform algorithms and cultural trends before they become mainstream and expensive.
Prioritize content localization through AI tools to unlock global growth, following the model that historically drove Facebook's massive user expansion.
Cultivate a mindset that romanticizes the 'comeback' to mitigate the fear of failure, allowing for the high-conviction bets required to achieve outlier success.
