▶ 56:46 Ben Gilbert So there's a great substack called Health API Guy, which I want to reference a few times because it's just some of the best writing on Epic you'll find.
▶ 3:26:44 Ben Gilbert So from the great sub stack health API guy under HIPAA regulations, a business associate agreement typically needs to be signed by someone with the proper authority to legally bind the organization, not individual providers or employees.
▶ 3:54:07 Ben Gilbert Brendan Keeler, who writes the Substack Health API guy, he's awesome.

▶ 2:52:31 Ben Gilbert Also to Tim Culpin, a former Bloomberg journalist who now has a substack called Culpium, also gave us some great topics to chat about.

▶ 1:51:30 Ben Gilbert Office got to this point where, and I think Steven Sanofsky even writes about this in Hardcore Software in his book and on his Substack, that at some point, they were trying to ship features that the PMs thought were great and users would…
▶ 2:10:24 Ben Gilbert So I tried to figure out as much as I could from financial statements, and I gotta thank Alex at The Science of Hitting, it's a great substack, for helping me with this.

▶ 2:23:04 Ben Gilbert Well, to start, I want to say a huge thank you to Alex Morris, who writes the investment substack, The Science of Hitting.
▶ 2:41:25 Ben Gilbert So here's, again, from the Science of Hitting Substack.

▶ 32:04 David Rosenthal I mean, there was no Substack.
▶ 32:06 David Rosenthal I think in many ways, Substack was, I don't know the exact history, but probably modeled after you.
▶ 32:11 Ben Thompson Yeah, no, Substack's seed deck says Shackery in a box.
▶ 38:05 Ben Thompson This is one of my big criticisms of Substack.
▶ 38:09 Ben Thompson Well, I mean, it's interesting because Substack I think is achieving some degree of network effects where everyone's familiar with it, that your payment's already on file.
▶ 38:20 Ben Thompson Every single site looks the same.
▶ 53:32 Ben Thompson One of the things I think is great for sort of the, I went back to Substack making it easy to pay.
▶ 53:37 Ben Thompson I think the real great thing for Substack and Substack writers today, it's not just that it's easy to pay, but people aren't scared to give their money to some random writer on the internet.
▶ 55:04 Ben Thompson You know, it's funny because I think once subset came along, it became overwhelming and people started setting up rules to send all their emails to a folder, which they never check.
▶ 55:30 Ben Thompson One of my criticisms of Substack was I think they were too email centric to start.
▶ 1:12:50 Ben Thompson And the fact that Substack is out there and there's hundreds or thousands or how many people making their living doing this.
▶ 1:14:06 Ben Thompson I actually thought about building a sub stack a few years before they launched.

▶ 1:02:55 David Rosenthal That's the last, you know, cool thing about this, which is that thanks to Substack, podcasting, YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, it's never been easier.

▶ 39:29 Katherine Boyle I think the, the kind of biggest trend in media, and I can talk about another one of our investments, Substack, which I think has sort of benefited from this trend, is that people are now brands.
▶ 1:03:43 David Rosenthal You mentioned, um, Substack earlier, you know, thinking about like, I think one of the greatest problems facing America, Western society broadly right now is just like all these people that need jobs that lead a red content in college.
▶ 1:04:32 David Rosenthal We're kind of like doing it right now in this conversation, you know, and lots of sub stack writers are too.
▶ 1:05:49 Katherine Boyle And so whether you're talking about, like, as you said, Substack or Shopify, where people are building incredible businesses on the platform, or whether it's, hey, like, there's a lot of capital available, and now I'm a founder in Miami,…
▶ 1:19:40 David Rosenthal And you have a great sub stack to the Rambler, right?

▶ 1:22 Ben Gilbert Not Boring is the number one substack newsletter on business.
▶ 42:49 David Rosenthal And they're all still on the Not Boring Substack.
▶ 1:15:05 David Rosenthal Substack, Twitter, you know, what have you.
▶ 1:16:38 Packy McCormick The most beautiful part about sub stack is because they've taken such a strong stand for subscriptions and against advertising.
▶ 1:16:46 Packy McCormick No one on their team has ever even reached out to me.
▶ 1:17:09 Packy McCormick And they're like, bet you're pretty bummed that you're paying 10% of your revenue to Substack, right?
▶ 1:17:13 Packy McCormick And I'm like, I actually haven't paid anything to Substack.
▶ 2:08:01 Packy McCormick I think that Substack has spoiled me.
▶ 2:08:48 David Rosenthal Um, we talked about Substack, Twitter, etc., you know, the platforms enabling Not Boring, the media company.
▶ 2:09:20 David Rosenthal Uh, now having the equivalent of Substack for a venture firm
▶ 2:09:29 Packy McCormick It's more than I'd say the equivalent of Substack for a venture firm because Substack, I still have to write everything and edit everything and make all of my own graphics and all of that.
▶ 2:12:16 Packy McCormick Like, you know, sub stack is not an as needed thing.
▶ 2:12:26 David Rosenthal And so it's really like, it's, it's, it's not even like sub stack for a venture firm.
