Packy McCormick - How Writing Shapes Companies (Ep. 301)

I I think I'm naturally optimistic. I I talk to founders all the time who are like just, you know, 10 to a thousand times smarter than I am and they have these incredible ideas and they don't write them because writing is hard if you don't do it all the time. The people that we get to talk to every day are doing these unbelievable things that if 5% of them are right, the world is a much, much better place and nobody else knows about this stuff. So I think there are plenty of people who are still pessimistic and rightly so and there's just so much cool stuff coming down the pike that I think for at least for our world, it's it's hard to be too pessimistic right now.

My guest today is Packy McCormick. You probably know him as the proprietor of the not boring media empire. He's now got a paid publication where he's doing deep dive articles with domain experts, and he's just in general one of the most joyful, optimistic, and fun people that I've ever spent time with. Please enjoy my conversation with Packy. Packy, welcome.
