Grant's Newsletter (Pseudonymity, Direct, Zuck)

Hey everyone,

Happy Friday from New York.

Here are a few things I’m thinking about this week:

We’re now on week 4 of 6 for 1729 Writers Cohort #1.

Our Week 3 Writers Champion was Abhisek with his post: Pseudonymity 101.

It was the clear winner from the group, so I wanted to feature it here.

There is a lot of talk of pseudonymity in the web3 world, and this is a great place to start.

This week, I wrote about business builders going direct to their audience.

Everyone from the Founder and CEO of Coinbase to the side-hustle freelancer can benefit from building a direct relationship with their stakeholders.

Regardless of your feelings towards Meta or Mark Zuckerberg, he’s an interesting and thoughtful person.

Some highlights from his podcast with Tim Ferriss:

1️⃣ Zuckerberg thinks long-term about Meta’s future regardless of what the critics say. He got pushback with Instagram just like he’s getting pushback with the Meta rebrand.

2️⃣ VR/AR technology is improving every year. He makes VR/AR seem like the early iPhone.

3️⃣ Remote work will change the way the world is structured. He believes this will increase opportunity.

Thank you for reading!

Have a great weekend and talk to you next week.

Best,

Grant
