I wanted to take a moment to thank you for continuing to support all the content I share. As you know, with the 14 companies we’re currently working on at Nobody Studios and the equity crowdfunding to come, I’m typically left with very little time to write.

But your encouragement keeps me motivated to share and write about these experiences. I even managed to hit 14,000 followers on LinkedIn this month!

This is a big deal for me—not just because it's an exciting milestone to achieve, but because of how much these connections mean to me. You are the reason I can keep going.

Here are the topics and conversations I've been having for the past month:

• Why companies are no longer competing on who is better but rather who is different
• How to engage in critical thinking, contrarian techniques, and most importantly, encouraging diversity of thought
• The power of understanding different cultures, backgrounds, and finding magical ways to connect.

Blog on Don’t be better. Be different

Anyone can wake up one morning and say they’re going to build the next Facebook, Microsoft or Google only cheaper, faster, better.

Doing something that’s already been done better (while brilliant) is not the best way to change the world—we need to do more differently.

I can’t tell you how many times founders and teams pitch themselves to us at Nobody Studios as, “We’re the AirBnB for…”

“We’re just like Cool New Startup Co but faster, cheaper, better” (and on the blockchain).

All the bells and whistles in the world can’t get me excited about these businesses.

And while it’s never a problem for these folks to tell me how they are better than the competition. What they all struggle with is telling me how they are different.
