Bartlett breaks for a sponsored segment, demonstrating Wispr Flow — a speech-to-text tool that works across any app and is four times faster than typing — live in real time by posting to Slack and drafting emails via voice. He then promotes Ketone IQ, a cognitive performance drink he co-owns alongside Jon Jones, offering 30% off subscriptions and citing personal use during high-output filming periods. Both sponsor reads feel organic given Bartlett's documented use.
Roughly 61% of US adults own stock in some form, but most hold it indirectly through retirement plans, and only 20% directly own individual shares.
The 'new jobs will be created' narrative mostly comes from people who profit from AI and don't want to be attacked. When your mind and body are both replaceable, what exactly do you have left to sell? Dalio says only authentic human qualities — emotion, intuition, creativity — survive.
The founder argues that the foundation of all effective marketing is a great product — without it, no channel works.
Before other tactics, the founder defaults to SEO as the first and most-used growth channel for new products.
The founder uses four main marketing channels: SEO, social media, directory listings, and cross-promotion.
Every user who tries one of the founder's products ends up trying at least one more, and many try all of them.
The founder runs social media marketing on X, LinkedIn, Substack, and Facebook simultaneously.
Directory listings are described as a very effective growth channel, especially for AI products that are clickable and interesting.
Products that are inherently interesting or clickbaity are much easier to drive traffic from through directory listings.
The founder describes cross-promotion across his own product portfolio as a strategy that is quite unique to him.
Using these four strategies, the founder has grown multiple products to hundreds of thousands of users.
