Had a crazy amount of fun bringing this @gushwork launch video to life
congrats on the launch guys
Today we launch the next chapter of Gushwork.
Over the last 30 years, we saw commerce moving online -
But what actually moved online were low value retail products: books, clothing, electronics.
Anything high value, from $5,000 to $1M - a hydraulic crane, an industrial roofing contract, a heat shrink machine - still runs predominantly on human buyer seller conversations.
And conversation was the one thing software couldn't do.
That just changed.
We are bringing 35 million sellers of high value products & services in the physical economy to the agentic web -
One of the largest categories of commerce that barely moved online in the internet before AI.
i feel like once you hit 10K a month, it feels so obvious,
how i'd get to $10k a month as a freelance video editor:
find 5 businesses willing to pay you $2,000 a month.
1/ cold email them. keep it short: who you are and how you help their business. your only goal is a meeting. don't pitch a price
2/ on the call, ask questions. what problem are you trying to solve? what does success look like? what's the budget?
3/ make a no-brainer offer. if the videos don't do the job, they get their money back
4/ underpromise. if you can deliver in 2 days, say a week, then deliver in 3
most people email 5 to 10 businesses a day for a week, hear nothing and give up.

One of the craziest videos i’ve done till now,
it took a crazy long time too cause norway visa was taking time and i had to virtually direct two shoots of 4 and 8 hours which was insane
doing everything from ideation scripting colorgrading directing and then now even motion design is crazy but i love having control over output, and being dependable.
it was so much fun working on this

i wanna do more risky things, how do i do more risky things, i feel like 3 months from now i will have been through multiple "timshel's"
and hoping i pick the riskier one most times, i will have come out happier
just gave my instinct a phone number to call me whenever it finds a good deal on something i'm trynna buy from reddit or facebook marketplace
have depth
have range
have the audacity to suffer
through experiences as you call them
trauma pleasure pain
feel a little bit of everything
change
nah i dont think thats how it works.
a founder needs to be open to experimentation and have a vision big enough, stories can be found discovered and told, things come first, then comes its story being told, and then as an ongoing thing.
if the founder had a vision he had a dream, the art of the infamous storyteller/creativedirector is to bring that vision to the public, if told well enough brings your icp closer to you, while also entertaining, while communicating the vision to the general public.
lack of culture cant be compensated for, narratives on the other hand can be built if the first exists in core
we're already back to "storyteller" discourse, are we?
here's the thing: too many tech companies want to hire a "storyteller" to basically craft their 'story' from the ground up and do all the other content stuff, etc
but a GOOD creator usually doesn't want to work for a company with no story yet , no compelling narrative.
for a startup, having a great story from the jump starts with the CEO.
and if the CEO can't conjure up a good, compelling story for THEIR COMPANY, you've got bigger problems that a "storyteller" or a "creator" won't be able to solve
the most cracked team out there, insane opportunity if you have been lookin for a cool hardware team to tell stories for
Looking for a filmmaker to work with us in New York for a 3-month content sprint, starting immediately.
You should be great at storytelling, shooting, and editing, and be able to take an idea from concept to finished film.
We care much more about your taste, speed, and ambition than your resume.
This will be intense, requires you to go all-in and experience what it feels like to build at a fast growing startup. And we pay well.
NYC-based preferred. If you’re elsewhere and already have a valid US visa, you can apply too.

i feel like people who are really good at jobs have an unfair advantage cause for the median the pay part plateaus and you can fuck around and pick fun.
with being your own decision maker you can’t really take the fun opportunities and not caring as much about money without having seeing a lot of it first and learning hoe the scales weigh with fun on one side and money on the other.
and then comes the delayed gratification of lucrativeness of an opportunity and how comfortable you are delaying that.
and being okay with that not arriving at all, and this isnt an overnight thing, small delays in gratification builds up to here, i wouldnt be able to take the risks ive taken without the small mini decisions i had taken back when i got of highschool, things that excited me, how i thought about things and investing in yourself, learning things, spending money to build yourself.
not many people know but i spent 500 dollars of my first 1200 dollars earned on buying a game dev and design course (avalon pro leagues by @waiting4_asi ),
the rest went into buying a laptop that could take me through that.
i mightve not stuck throughout, cause the dev part was boring as fuck for me, but i loved making short films, designing environments, shooting with virtual rigs,
and now after 4 years of doing product design as i move towards creative direction making more money doing this than i did designing, and having way mlre fun, specially after last two years of building startups and going to sf,
i am loving how those muscle memories i picked up on those virtual rigs and mlvements and cuts, carry on here subconsiously, life really is freaking connecting dots backwards.
i did use to think i couldnt max extract that course etc etc, but it was the most fun i had and i didnt regret that money spent even a bit, i ended up making money from design, from crypto from a buncha other things, that the 1200 i first spent on that stuff stopped being so significant, and trust me i have never once regretted spending money on learning stuff and trying new things.
keep betting on yourself, keep taking risks and delay gratification to feel the things you might not get to feel if you chase them out right.
