This applies across so many sectors, not just journalism. The arts needs to do the same. Audiences have become more than consumers, they shape and guide the art and we need to enable them to do that and be the change we all want to see.

Man! This is so good, especially because you're saying the quiet thing out loud! Will run this in my newsletter this week!

Great content Adam - I learned a lot of good principles that we can apply to our news organization

I'm french and you said 'la decroissance' right :)

Like a cracked out banker in drag as a wellness coach/journalist. Great guitar music and visuals.

Stop bobbing forward and backward towards the camera, its very distracting. Nice video though. :)

I love the idea of degrowth journalism. We should degrow as much journalism as possible. Till there is next to no leftwing journalism at all lol

Degrowth is not new journalism. It’s just another topic to cover.

For the most part, biases are not on the side of the consumers, its on the side of the journalists themselves and the system of education they were bred out of. Consumers just want the truth, not your truth, the truth. I hope the industry realizes we are seeing the last of a dying breed and it was not due to profit it was strictly due to the lack of truth and the doctoring of information. Great video.

What funding truths do you wish you'd known when you started fundraising?

Definitely here for it Adam, really interesting stuff. Though I'm afraid I'm going to talk about the elephant in the room, and if you don't do a special episode about the psychological, emotional and generational significance of Arsene Wenger, I'll be writing to someone to complain. Perhaps Pat Nevin. On a more serious note, are you connected at all to Shane Parrish and the Knowledge Project? Think you'd like.

Vlieland is so beautiful.

Been thinking a lot about this recently, how to respond in the face of mass systemic change. One of the reasons I'm putting on a retreat in November for which I wrote: "When the world’s issues seem so large and out of reach, it’s time to for our attention to get close up and intimate. When life starts to feel like a non-stop loop, it’s time we embrace slowness and care..."

Always great insight. Think this feeds into a wider conversation about what we collectively decide to measure and value as human beings. I think as global societies we’re getting closer to accepting some form of happiness or wellbeing index as a next logical step. The big geopolitical metric of GDP was only ever designed as a short term measure specifically during wartime. It is ludicrously reductive and totally redundant. The really thorny question is - what happens to happiness when you start to measure it!

Loving the videos, Adam.

Thank you, helps me alot! Oder auch: Dankeschön 😄

Great video really informative. Well done definitely food for thought.

I'd say your legitimate weirdness is your ability to examine your own work publicly, often with breathtaking honesty.

Excellent video

"People ask for features, but they don't actually tell you what they need." This is gold.

juicy one this week 👏 some slightly seasick generating auto tracking going on in the camera...? poss intentional, poss not!

This guy called Adam Thomas is the celebrity that keeps popping up everywhere for me this week 😁

"This thing didn't exist yesterday and now it does." How powerful is that statement! Well done.

Working in the business vs. working on the business. Gave me plenty to think about there. That would make a good session at a conference somewhere! Love the simplicity in which you communicate. Hope to get your voice/wisdom in my head some day -- ie. podcast. :)

Looking forward to following your scruffy amazing self on this journey. 🦆

Hope to see your progress and the next video ! How frequent would you post in YT ?

Still....for a two year old to take his mother shopping......pretty impressive if you ask me. tHanks for the video

REAL success stories don't follow the 'rockstar' founder narrative. Amazing work, Adam! Thank you for omitting a 'whats up guys' at the start of the vid too!

Lovely stuff Adam. Hair and beard looking powerful too.

So exciting! Lovely start too, congrats. PS the "I'm not doing the like and subscribe" line at the end is A grade parental NLP. 🤣

I’ve never been a fan of the word “entrepreneur” either. It’s just not tangible enough for me, and too salesman-y I’m not sure if you’ve done the podcasting/youtubing thing before but you’re a natural and very easy to listen to All the best with your new business!
