The Exchanges

Every argument clarity score on this site is built from rows on this page. Each question and answer was assessed with names hidden, the host's own answers included, on four things from 1 to 5: directness (does it answer the question asked), coherence (do the ideas follow), precision (concrete details and clear references), compression (says a lot per word). The weighted mix (30/30/25/15) is the exchange score. A person's published score averages their exchange scores on raw tape only, at least 8 of them, shrunk toward the cohort mean. Full method →

Shaan Puri no published score: no usable exchanges on raw tape, and a fair score needs 8+ record → ← everyone

Every exchange below was scored with names hidden, four dimensions each from 1 to 5. An exchange's score is 0.30·directness + 0.30·coherence + 0.25·precision + 0.15·compression. The published score averages the raw tape exchange scores and shrinks small samples toward the cohort mean, so five great answers can't beat twenty good ones. Produced feed rows count only toward coarse estimates, never toward a full score.

Q What do you mean? Like Shark Tank and CNBC and The Profit and...

A Yeah, so, so basically for 30 minutes a week, you'll find it on one channel, and then 30 minutes a week on the other, but where's your guaranteed place when you come home after work to get a hit, uh, right? Your podcast is filling that niche for some people, probably during their commute, um, but where else do they get access to entrepreneurs and founders? So for, for example, I'll make this more tangible, um, almost every other day, there's, uh, the founders of, of Basecamp, the CEO of Basecamp and Highrise, uh, they get on Blab, and they do a Blab called Work in Progress, and it's the two of them Having a chat about what it's like to be the CEO of their company, but they're just talking to each other about strategy and what they're going through and what they should be doing. And they just wanted to be transparent, so they opened it up to the public so that other people can actually, um, tune in and then learn something. So you see all these aspiring entrepreneurs who tune in because where else would they get access to this conversation between two CEOs? Um, and so that's what I, when I'm, when I say that it replaces TV, it's because it gives people, um, what they want when they want it.

Q Yeah, but can you get it on Netflix with, like, you can go in and pick a video whenever you want and play it whenever you want?

A But it might not be about the topic you care about, and it might not be from the voice you care about. So the, the easy analogy is, if you think about blogging, um, when, when, uh, before blogging, you had, you know, uh, mainstream media. You had journalists who were paid to write about and cover certain topics. Uh, and because they were paid, they have to cover the mainstream topics. So you'll always see the big names that are, that are in the, in the newspaper and online. Uh, but when blogging came out, all of a sudden you got to hear from different voices. You got to hear from You know, everyone from a teen in their bedroom to a CEO in their boardroom. Um, but they would also cover every topic imaginable because the users create the content. Uh, so what we find on Blab is the same thing. Because a user goes live, uh, and starts a conversation about the things they're interested in, they cover every topic. And so you're, you're gonna see stuff about, um, you know, RVers talking about the life of RVing, or there's something called the Rare Books Cafe, where they talk about rare books. You know, things that mainstream media doesn't always, uh, cover, uh, But there is a niche audience for it. And when you add up all the niches, it's actually a pretty big audience in the end.
