Tony Fadell: preference

Transcript context

…Let me just say for folks that haven't read your book, I just want to communicate how great it is. There's very few books that are both tactically useful that give you, like, here's how to do a thing and also just inspire you to build and make great things. And Build does that in such a great way. I think everyone knows about it. I don't know if everyone's read it. So highly encourage you to read it. Two final questions. Where can folks find you online if they want to maybe learn about the stuff you're up to now, and how can listeners be useful to you? Great. Well, let's see. Well, thanks again. This was a fun interview. I really enjoyed it. I think if you want to interact with us, we're at buildc.com. So Build Collective, but we're BuildC, B-U-I-L-D-C.com. You can go and see the companies we invest in, and you can find ways to contact us there. And how can viewers help me or help us? I think learn about the companies, see if you can model whatever you're doing in some of the learn from insights. There's a lot of websites that we help to create. A lot of the marketing we created for deep tech through those investments we made, so you can see some well done marketing. I hope you like our website for BuildC to show you how what we think is a really great website that only... Doesn't sell things necessarily. You know what I mean? Like point and click and purchase, but it just get them... Rebuild and apply it. I think that's the most thing is: rebuild, read other things like that, and really hone your craft, make better products, make a better world because the world only gets better by the things we make and what we bring. And so, to me, that's the most important way to help me is by making other cool products like Flighty or other things. They're like, "I love this thing." So make great stuff, people, and don't think the AIs will. Use them for the tools that they can help with, but don't have cognitive surrender. Don't surrender to the machine. We can use the machines, but don't cognitively surrender and make better stuff. Make better stuff than myself or any of the teams that we back can make because we do have better tools now. So please do. Amazing. Tony, thank you so much for being here.…
