Spotify Will Disrupt Podcast Monetization & Discovery 🎙️ Aug 17, 2020

Show notes

Spotify is on its way to disrupt and dominate the podcast industry. Recently, the company has signed exclusive deals with Joe Rogan, Kim Kardashian, DC Comics and Michelle Obama for content. But that's only half the excitement, Spotify has also launched a new podcast advertising format: Streaming Ad Insertion (SAI). This will be a game-changer for podcast monetization, and makes me super pumped as a creator trying to monetize my own podcast. Additionally, Spotify is set to make podcasts discoverable (solving a huge problem for the industry). I think they should launch discover weekly playlists curated for content like Audiobooks and podcasts, expanding well beyond music.

Spotify Stock Analysis 🎧🤓 August 2020 Aug 17, 2020

Show notes

Spotify grew its premium user-base 27% in Q2, to 138M subscribers. Overall Monthly Active Users (MAUs), were up 29% to 299M. Revenue increased 13%, to €1.889B. I'm more bullish on Spotify than ever as the company pushes into original podcasting content, signing deals with creators like Joe Rogan, Michelle Obama and Kim Kardashian. My biggest insight from the Q2 conference call was that advertising revenue will grow dramatically with podcasting in the coming quarters.

NIO Stock Analysis 📊🤓 August 2020 Aug 12, 2020

Show notes

NIO reports Q2 2020 revenue of $527M (+140%), with a positive gross margin of 8.4%. This was a huge sequential improvement across the board, and sets NIO up on the path towards profitability, with its upcoming EC6. NIO's newest EV, the EC6 is already accepting orders on the NIO app, and is set for customer deliveries in September. This should accelerate revenue and deliveries growth.

Show notes

Tesla announces a 5 for 1 forward stock split. The deal will be completed in August, and means for every 1 share you have, you will now have 5. I love this move as it opens up Tesla stock to more investors by making it easier to buy a single share! Let me know what you think in the comments below!

How Tesla Will Scale Battery Production 🙊 Aug 06, 2020

Show notes

*SPOILER ALERT* Do not watch this if you want to be surprised at Tesla Battery Investor Day. This video is my entire theory of how Tesla tested Maxwell's tech in 2017/18, bought the company in 2019, and has been scaling in house battery cell production with the DBE technology, ever since. Tesla's biggest constraint on growth is they don't have enough batteries. On Battery Investor Day they will announce they are bringing cell production in house and will bring a new battery cell to market to solve this problem IMO. It's going to be epic :) Plz comment your theories below. Remember this is all a guess!! I have no idea what Tesla will actually announce.

Augur: Decentralized Prediction Markets 🔮 w/ Tom Kysar Aug 05, 2020

Show notes

Interview with Tom Kysar, the head of Operations at Augur. Augur is a decentralized betting platform/prediction market that is built on the Ethereum blockchain. It originally launched a V1 beta version a couple years ago that generated $25M in bets. Now they have relaunched Augur V2, and you can use it to place decentralized bets today! I think this is one of the most promising Dapp projects in Crypto and am excite to follow its progress. Shoutout to Tom from Augur for taking the time for this interview!

Will Tesla Launch An Electric Rickshaw for India? Aug 04, 2020

Show notes

If Tesla designed a vehicle from scratch for the Indian market, what would that look like? How about an electric rickshaw, the Cybershaw. This is a moonshot concept that I think has a lot of potential to move people & cargo around urban environments. Projections show Indian electric rickshaw sales could hit 20M units per year, at $2.5K per unit, that's a $50B market.

Tesla + Panasonic Upgrading 2170 🔋s at Nevada Gigafactory Jul 30, 2020

Show notes

The head of Panasonic's US EV business (and in charge of working with Tesla at the Nevada Gigafactory), has revealed details about the company's battery cell technology roadmap. Panasonic expects energy density to improve 20% in 5 years, and significant cobalt reductions even sooner. It's interesting to see Tesla continually upgrading its Panasonic lines, and continue building this relationship ... with rumors heating up about Tesla building its own battery cells in house. The Battery Investor Day speculation continues!
