President Trump has mostly paused his global trade war, though one country still faces steep tariffs: China. China analyst Bill Bishop joins us to explain how this trade dispute could play out. Then, we speak with Liz Picarazzi, founder and CEO of Citibin, which makes welded aluminum rat-proof trash cans, about manufacturing in Vietnam and China and how tariffs are affecting her business and her costs. And, the National Weather Service has put on hold its use of an automated language translation tool that was used to provide severe weather alerts to people who don't speak English. University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign researcher and meteorologist Joseph Trujillo-Falcón tells us why the move could put lives at risk.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

In seven short weeks, the Trump administration has completely reshaped US foreign policy and upended trade alliances. Will China benefit from US retrenchment and increasing global uncertainty, or will its struggling economy hold it back? On the GZERO World Podcast, Bill Bishop, a China analyst and author of the Sinocism newsletter, joins Ian Bremmer for a wide-ranging conversation about China—its domestic priorities, global administration, and whether America's retreat from global commitments is opening new doors for Beijing.President Xi Jinping has consolidated power and control in China, but its economy is still dealing with sluggish growth, a property market in crisis, and the specter of deflation. Yet Xi is confident he can bring the People's Republic into a new era, pushing through major structural reforms, working to transition to a more high-tech economy and ramping up territorial aggression in the South China Sea. So what's next for the People's Republic? Can China shake its economic blues? Has the Trump administration's foreign policy approach created new opportunities for Beijing to expand its influence? Bishop and Bremmer break down China's political and economic landscape.Host: Ian BremmerGuest: Bill Bishop Subscribe to the GZERO World with Ian Bremmer Podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your preferred podcast platform, to receive new episodes as soon as they're published.

Or: how chinwags can save the world. Imagine I could give you a superpower. The ability to make people trust you who currently don't. To help them change their own mind, on their own terms. And to maybe even heal society, perhaps just a little bit. WELL I CAN. It's called 'having a grown up conversation', and it's perhaps the most underrated thing we can all do about climate change.Joining me to talk about all things chatting, nattering and deep canvassing is the charming Alex Evans, founder and director of the charity Larger Us.  We (yes) have a conversation about the best ways to have a good ol' chinwag, why we're all shouting at each other more, and the psychology behind why we perhaps we don't disagree anywhere near as much as we might think. Plenty owl noises this week:--  05:19: Climate Outreach's Britain Talks Climate research toolkit, which is fab in which I have precisely no vested interest whatsoever. -- 11:18: Dave Fleischer's TED Talk about deep canvassing. -- 15:23: George Marshall's brilliant book, Don't Even Think About It. -- 23:55: Bill Bishop came up with the Big Sort idea back in 2004.-- 28:00: Hannah Arendt on totalitarianism, via Wiki. -- 30:52: Bobby Duffy's Divided Britain report. -- 36:30: Oil and gas workers team up with greenies.

Pulitzer Prize finalist journalist Bill Bishop joins The Village Square for Dinner at the Square. (See photos from the event here.) Turns out Americans have been sorting ourselves in every aspect of our lives – in the news we watch, the books we read, the churches we attend, even the neighborhoods we live in. Our special guest Pulitzer Prize finalist journalist Bill Bishop stumbled on this worrisome trend when he was doing research on an unrelated topic. That means that we're increasingly finding ourselves in the company of people who think just like we do. Inside these likeminded tribes, we find our views amplified and no counterbalance to help us understand what our “side” might be failing to see. The result? Likeminded groups grow more extreme in the direction of the majority view. Uh oh. Faciliating the conversation is Steve Seibert, formerly of Collins Center and Florida Humanities. Joining the conversation is Governor Jeb Bush's former Chief of Staff Sally Bradshaw, and former Florida Representative Loranne Ausley.

In this episode of SquareCast Village Square Founder & CEO Liz Joyner let Village SquareCast Corey Nathan talk her into being the guest in an episode. It's hard to get away from the doom scroll that typifies our life and times right now — we're clobbered with toxic sludge when we turn on the  news, catch up with friends on social media or just try to live life without someone forcing us to choose whether we're one of “us” or one of “them.” The signs of our difficulties are all around us and it's hard to underestimate its weight on our being. In this episode of Village SquareCast we'll chat with founder Liz Joyner about the unique journey of two decades seeking to (in the words of one of Liz's heroes, Patricia Nelson Limerick) “let friendship redeem the republic.” We'll travel from Washington, D.C. to Tallahassee, Florida in this epic tale of tilting at some serious windmills — while endeavoring to keep laughing.

Picture the United States as a vast jigsaw puzzle, filled with pieces that have been moving and morphing since its inception. Now, imagine that puzzle shaken up, the pieces sorted by design, color, and shape, segregating into separate corners. That's the current socio-political landscape of our nation, a phenomenon introduced to us by American Journalist, Bill Bishop,  refer to as the 'Big Sort.' As we ponder over the founding documents of the United States, we'll see how they've shaped a nation as diverse as ours. So buckle up, as we pull apart the threads of history and weave together a cohesive understanding of the forces shaping our nation.Our guide will be Michael Barone and his wonderful book, Shaping Our Nation: How Surges of Migration Transformed America and Its PoliticsKey Points from the Episode:A journey through time unveils the cultural and political upheavals, the widening cultural divides, and the role of self-selection in where Americans opt to live. Get ready for an insightful exploration of America's past and present, as we dissect how events like the late 2000s recession and the financial crisis have shaped our country.Our voyage doesn't stop there. We wade into deeper waters, discussing migration's impact on political and cultural shifts in America. We'll scrutinize the 'Big Sort' and the future implications of this self-selection trend. Ever wondered what led up to the Civil War? I've got just the book recommendations for you. The American Story is much more interesting while studying these vast migrations in our country history.  So much so, that the American Story is in fact a Land of HopeOther resources: What Hath God Wrought: The Transformation of America, 1815 - 1848 Vote NO on Ohio Issue 1–what does it mean legally video?More goodnessGet your FREE Academy Review here!Get our top book recommendations listGet new podcast episodes dropped into your email box easilyWant to leave a review?

Dr. Somerville takes a break this week from his 'When in Romans' sermon series to talk about a problem that everyone will recognize is happening in our country, and that is the fracturing of our society into like-minded communities of people who share similar ways of life, beliefs and politics.  To do this as a church weakens the entire edifice, and Dr. Somerville uses Pauls words from 1 Corinthians 12 to encourage us by understanding that the body is strongest when it has all of it's various parts together.  Society is as well when people come together in unity.  Enjoy this timely message!

178 miles to the east of Beijing, there's a beach resort called Beidaihe. The water is shallow and the sand is yellow and fine. Luxurious holiday villas dot the coastline. Starting from the 1950s, leaders of the Chinese Communist Party have moved their families and work to Beidaihe in the summer, making the beach resort something of a summer capital. Secrecy clouds the gatherings, and though this tradition continues, today the resort seems to serve a much more leisurely purpose when the CCP visits. On this episode, I'm joined by the historian James Carter and Bill Bishop, editor of the very popular Sinocism newsletter, to discuss where Communist leaders go, when they go on summer holiday. What is the changing role of Beidaihe, and what does this tell us about the changing nature of Communist leadership? Presented by Cindy Yu. Produced by Cindy Yu and Joe Bedell-Brill.

Joe Biden has used tough language about Xi Jinping, saying he “does not have a democratic bone in his body” and describing him as a dictator. The Chinese complain they are being provoked. In this podcast, Bill Bishop, author of the Sinocism newsletter, shares his views on President Biden's choice of language. He speaks with the podcast's regular host, Duncan Bartlett, Editor of Asian Affairs.

Bill Bishop grew up the way we wished we all could, in the woods surrounded by nature, with a supporting, loving family. Over the course of his life, Turkeys and Tarpon would became paramount for his adventurous heart. His father had a lease where family and friends hunted deer and gobblers. At a young age it was soon obvious, Bill was born a hunter & gatherer at heart. He learned how to speak to the birds like no one else. Bishop was extremely gifted with everything he touched. Not too long ago, Flip told me that he was the most talented person he's ever met. He's an artist, angler, business man, author, and "that guy" that can fix anything or build anything like his own boat, which he did. The very first fish artwork that I bought was a tarpon, that Bill had painted... Yes, he paints beautifully. His three books are from his deep-rooted life in the woods and on the ocean; High Rollers, Double Haul, and Cracker Jack. These tales take you on a wonderful ride with all images drawn by our guest today. But, with his grandchildren calling him, “Poon," it's evident that chasing Megalops was his favorite quest. Bill Bishop is 75 years old with the energy of a young deer. On todays podcast, he lets us into his extraordinary journey which gets better after surviving a heart attack...

Brought to you by AssemblyAI—Powerful AI models to transcribe and understand speech | Public—Invest in stocks, treasuries, crypto, and more | Vanta—Automate compliance. Simplify security.—Lulu Cheng Meservey was formerly head of comms at Substack (where I host my newsletter and podcast) and is currently the Executive Vice President of Corporate Affairs and Chief Communications Officer at Activision Blizzard. She also writes one of my favorite newsletters, “Flack,” where she shares tactical advice for company comms, PR, and messaging. In today's episode, we dive deep into the world of PR and comms. We discuss why taking risks is crucial, how to gain attention as an underdog, and why it's important to have a super-specific audience. Lulu outlines several frameworks I'd never heard of before, including a concentric circles framework for identifying your audience, the cultural erogenous zones, and even a physics-based framework for comms.Find the full transcript at: https://www.lennyspodcast.com/navigating-comms-and-pr-lulu-cheng-meservey-substack-activision-blizzard/#transcriptWhere to find Lulu Cheng Meservey:• Twitter: https://twitter.com/lulumeservey• LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lulu-cheng-meservey/• Newsletter: https://www.getflack.com/Where to find Lenny:• Newsletter: https://www.lennysnewsletter.com• Twitter: https://twitter.com/lennysan• LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lennyrachitsky/Referenced:• “Binders full of women”: Mitt Romney's four words that alienated women voters: https://www.theguardian.com/world/shortcuts/2012/oct/17/binders-full-of-women-romneys-four-words• Bill Bishop's newsletter on Substack: https://www.sinocism.com/• Hamish McKenzie on Twitter: https://twitter.com/hamishmckenzie• The Network State: How to Start a New Country: https://www.amazon.com/Network-State-How-Start-Country-ebook/dp/B09VPKZR3G• How to increase virality: https://www.lennysnewsletter.com/p/increasing-virality• Ryan Petersen on Twitter: https://twitter.com/typesfast• Brian Armstrong on Twitter: https://twitter.com/brian_armstrong• Palmer Luckey on Twitter: https://twitter.com/PalmerLuckey• Pirate Wires: https://www.piratewires.com/• NYX: https://www.nyxcosmetics.com/• Gates of Fire: An Epic Novel of the Battle of Thermopylae: https://www.amazon.com/Gates-Fire-Novel-Battle-Thermopylae/dp/055338368X• The Last of Us on HBO: https://www.hbo.com/the-last-of-us• Notion: https://www.notion.so/• Lex: https://lex.page/In this episode, we cover:(00:00) Lulu's background(04:36) What helps an idea spread(06:17) Mitt Romney's “binders full of women”(07:19) Advice for coming up with contagious phrasing(08:36) Lulu's esoteric reference that left her Twitter followers confused(11:08) The importance of taking risks, and Lulu's thread on standing for free speech(12:53) An example of another sticky phrase(14:40) The cultural erogenous zones framework(16:08) How Kamala Harris made people care about education(17:29) How to get attention as the underdog(20:25) How Substack used the concentric circles framework to spread information(21:32) Understanding the layers in those concentric circles(25:44) How to get started figuring out your concentric circles(27:03) An example of aligning messaging with people's values (28:19) Lulu's mathematical formula framework for comms for a purpose(28:54) A physics-based framework for comms(35:56) How Balaji Srinivasan used the concentric circles approach with his book The Network State(39:46) The importance of a super-specific audience(41:12) Reasons your comms are failing(42:40) Why you should focus on one direct communication channel at first(46:58) Why not every founder needs to be on Twitter(48:02) Who LinkedIn works better for(49:23) Examples of messaging with a human voice and hopping on trends quickly(51:11) Reasons for direct comms (53:52) How to get started setting up a direct channel(56:09) Why consistent, good content is better than trying to go viral(59:28) Lightning roundProduction and marketing by https://penname.co/.

What would you do if a parcel delivery staff and three confederates suddenly pushed past you and overpowered you when you opened the door?  What would you do if a lunatic neighbour broke into your house armed with a hammer and started attacking your whole family?  The recent deaths of 90 year old Kinuyo Oshio during a home invasion by the Luffy Gang and hearing about long-time Tokyo resident and friend, Bill Bishop and his entire family being killed by a lunatic neighbour, make this a reality we haven't had to confront before.  We are leaders, so how should we lead our families to protect ourselves from this type of crime?  If you are quite a logical type and think that statistically, this would never happen to you or if you are squeamish about handing out severe physical violence to home invaders, then stop one now. It is a choice to defend yourself and your family or to submit to being tied up and robbed. For those who are wondering about options, based on my 52 years of karate training, here are my ideas on what we can do the protect our families.  The Luffy gang weapon of choice is that razor sharp, box cutter.  They look for older, weaker people living in mansion buildings and individual homes with no parcel locker system.  If you cannot install such a system, here are some alternatives.  Install camera systems at the entrance to you house, so that the gang know they are being recorded, to dissuade them from choosing you as their next victim. If that can't be done and it is just the door protecting you from the criminals, don't open the door.  Tell them to leave the parcel in front of the door and you will retrieve it later.  If they say you have to sign for it, tell them to leave a slip with the delivery company name and phone number on it and you will arrange for the parcel to be received later.  If they are legitimate delivery staff this will be simple for them and if they are criminals, they will give up and go find someone else to rob. The Luffy gang technique is to recruit amateurs unknown to each other, have them burst through the doorway en masse and overpower you.  They tie you up, threaten you or actually cut you up with the box cutter to find out where the valuables are located and then ransack your house.  The gang leader Luffy has also assured them they can kill you if they need to and as we see, this is what happened with Oshio san. Guns are obviously out of contention in Japan, so what can we do?   Some self-defense weapons I like are a not too heavy hammer, nunchaku and a Bokuto or heavy wooden sword.  The Bokuto and nunchaku are distance weapons, which help against assailants armed with knives, boxcutters or hammers.  The nunchaku is very compact and can be used in close quarters, whereas the Bokuto needs some space to wield. For the nunchaku, the primary target should be the outside of the knees, so that you both deny them mobility and you place them in a large amount of stress and pain.  The ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) is what we want to damage, so they cannot stand.  We go after both knees too, so they are taken out as a threat until the police arrive. For the Bokuto, the wrists and forearm are the initial target so that they cannot hold their weapon and the secondary target again is the outside of the knees.  The hammer is a close range weapon and the primary target should be the sternum, that part of the chest from the solar plexus up to the throat.  A hammer blow to the sternum is extremely painful and they feel it every time they breathe. This will stun them long enough for you to hit them in the secondary target, which again will be the outside of the knees.   I don't recommend the face or temple for attack, because there is a good chance you will kill the assailant and find yourself in the dock facing a murder charge.  That target zone is also high and they may be able to avoid the swing, absorb the blow on their arm or lean back out of the way, because they have good vision of the trajectory.  The knee area though is down low and quite hard for them to see what you are doing when you suddenly drop down out of their eyeline, until they feel immense pain in the knee joint and discover they cannot support their body weight anymore. We don't need flashy Bruce Lee style whipping technique for the nunchaku.  Just simple practice to fling the extended wooden section at around knee height is enough.  The same with the Bokuto.  We don't need to be Miyamoto Musashi, we just need to practice striking in front around where the arm and wrist will be on the assailant.  The key to strike is to push through the strike hard, backing it up with your body weight, so that it penetrates deeply, rather than resulting in a shallow, flicking type of strike.  Remember, if we are going to hit them anywhere, then we have to disable them.   If you can hit them hard enough to break their wrist or forearm then that is helpful to reduce the threat.   The hammer uses the same technique we would use to drive a nail – let the weapon's concentrated force do the work.  However, don't practice by drawing the hammer back too far.  This will signal what is coming and the interval between drawing back and striking makes you vulnerable to counter-attack. Practice striking in close quarters with a short sharp forward strike, back up with your weight, rather than pulling back first.  Remember you can hit them more than once and as they recoil in pain, this provides some more distance to take a bigger swing going forward.  Once you start hitting, don't stop until you can take out their knees. If you have nothing to hand, another weapon I like Katei Gaho, that very thick magazine you can buy anywhere.  Roll it up very tightly.  We use the ends of the magazine as the weapon and the action is like a tennis backhand swing where you come across our body and then jam the end into the assailant. The secret is to get the body weight behind it for maximum effectiveness. We hold the magazine in the middle so that we can use either end.  Try jamming it as hard as you can into a desk or hard surface and you will quickly see why this is such a powerful attack weapon.  The target is this case is the temple, face area, solar plexus, throat and groin.  You have to hit hard when you use it and don't stop with just one blow.  Our objective is to escape from them and call the police. If there is no alternative, we can use our hands as weapons, if we know what we are doing.  If you don't know what you are doing, then don't bother, as you will only get yourself into trouble. Apart from aiming at the throat, I don't recommend striking with the fist itself trying to punch them in the face.  Invariably we will break one of the bones in our hand on their hard head or elbow and then we lose access to one of our weapons.  We can use our fingers into their eyes as a way to distract them before we deliver the main blow.  I don't mean to try and poke them in the eye with the one finger, but to hit the eye area with all the fingers of one hand in a top down, flailing motion.  Try it against a wall and you will surprised at how much hitting power this technique has. The eye area is very sensitive, so there is more than enough power in this technique to force them back and off balance. Also, there is a better chance of making contact with the eyes this way, whereas a single eye poke attempt may miss. This eye attack opens up a chance to punch them in the throat or kick them in the groin.  The kick we use is like the kick we see football players doing, called the punt kick and it has the same strong follow through rising action.  Again, our objective is to escape from them and call the police. When striking the face, I like to use the heel of the palm, that thick fleshy bit where the hand connects to the wrist.  The target is the base of the nose just above the teeth.  This is a very sensitive area. A slam of the heel palm there will drive their weight up and back and again provide a clear shot at a throat or groin attack. Finally, let's look at the Armageddon scenario. Things are totally desperate and you absolutely believe you are going to be murdered right there and then.  Now, every Japanese home has a set of razor sharp Hocho or cutting knives for cooking.  If you get to this point of having to use a Hocho, then don't use the knives for wildly slashing about, they are better for thrusting.  Pick a large thick knife, get both hands on the knife handle and your full body weight behind it when you thrust.  Don't try anything fancy like you see so-called knife fighters doing in the movies.  Keep it simple, don't run at them, don't over-reach, but move in quickly and aim below the belt area, where it is very hard to defend against.  You will probably have to use multiple thrusts because arms and hands will get in the way, but don't stop. If you survive their attack, you will be in court to face assault or murder charges, but that is better than being dead.  I may be wrong, but I believe if Bill Bishop, his wife and daughter had retreated to the kitchen and each armed themselves with Hocho and faced their lunatic neighbour assailant together, they may all still be alive today. Of course, none of this is guaranteed to work, but at least it gives you an idea of what are some options other than surrender and hoping they don't kill you after they have tied you up.  Naturally, these techniques do require practice.  The most important thing though is to generate the mindset for survival and to be prepared to defend yourself with everything you have when it gets real.  If it is to be, it is up to me. If it is “me” or “them”, I choose “me”.

The shocking revelation that China has been sailing spy balloons over North America, and who knows where else, has abruptly created a massive foreign policy crisis for the U.S., Canada… and China. The discovery has popped the communist regime's polite pretenses, says Bill Bishop, China analyst and author of the influential Sinocism newsletter. Bishop joins Full Comment host Brian Lilley this week to discuss how the exposure of an apparently vast global surveillance operation by the People's Liberation Army has torpedoed Beijing's hopes of finding better footing with the Biden administration, and how relations between the two powerhouse nations now face the dangerous potential of “free fall.” (Recorded February 10, 2023) Learn more about your ad choices.

Bill Bishop likes to make clear he's not a journalist. Instead, he's a China analyst who brings his deep understanding of the country to an English-speaking language through his newsletter, Sinocism. In 2017, Bill became the “original Substacker” after teaming up with Substack's co-founders to be the first newsletter on the platform. On this week's episode of The Rebooting Show, Bill and I discuss his independent path, and how a subscription model has created different dynamics as opposed to his experiences in the dot-com era as a co-founder of Marketwatch. What's telling to me is that Bill is also now considering advertising. The Substack model of “only ads” doesn't make much sense long term for most writers. Even if they convert 10% of their audience, they're making no money from 90%. Most businesses don't operate that way.

Il segretario di Stato Usa, Antony Blinken, avrebbe dovuto visitare la Cina domenica e lunedì per incontrare i vertici della diplomazia cinese e forse perfino Xi Jinping.Tuttavia, un pallone aerostatico si è messo in mezzo, sorvolando i cieli del Montana e portando a nuove tensioni tra Washington e Pechino, oltre all'immediato rinvio a data da destinarsi del viaggio di Blinken.In realtà, tutto l'avvicinamento a questa visita era stato quantomeno accidentato: gli statunitensi avevano attuato una serie di mosse anticinesi su tutti i fronti, mentre la propaganda impazza. E la Cina che fa?Poche ore prima dell'annullamento del viaggio di Blinken, avevamo parlato con un ospite di assoluto livello, residente a Washington, con un lungo passato in Cina e un presente da fine analista delle vicende di Pechino e dintorni: Bill Bishop, autore della newsletter Sinocism (https://sinocism.com/), protagonista, nonostante tutto, della puntata di oggi.

The pandemic hasn't raged within China the way it has in the rest of the world over the past few years. However, that's beginning to change. Following a wave of protests, Chinese leadership officially rolled back some of the country's most stringent Covid restrictions. The end of “zero Covid” policies, combined with an already strained medical system, along with low vaccination and immunity levels, could lead to disastrous public health and economic consequences. China could see over a million deaths in 2023, according to projections from the University of Washington Institute of Health Metrics and Evaluation. Bill Bishop is a longtime expert on China, writer of his own Substack newsletter called “Sinocism,” co-founder of CBS Marketwatch and he worked in China for years. Bishop joins WITHpod to discuss how government control has been consolidated under president Xi Jinping, the timeline of events leading to this moment, why Covid case numbers in China are undercounted and what the latest developments portend for (what could be) a very sobering future.

This week Xi Jinping has taken his new Politburo Standing Committee on a group trip – to Yan'An, the base of Mao Zedong's Communist revolution after the Long March. The symbolism is easy to see. On this episode of Chinese Whispers, Bill Bishop, author of the popular Sinocism newsletter, and Professor Victor Shih, author of Coalitions of the Weak, have returned to reflect on the Party Congress just past. It's been a more dramatic event than many (inside and outside the party) expected, starting with a brave, lone protestor hanging a 42-character banner off a popular bridge in Beijing, lambasting the authoritarian regime; and ending with the forcible removal of former general secretary Hu Jintao in front of the world's media. At the congress itself Xi overturned decades-long norms dictating the top leadership of the party – age no longer seems to necessitate retirement, while the Politburo has not a single woman. Above all, Xi has started his third term as general secretary with a loyal cabal of men around him. Did he not want more competent people in the top jobs? 'Loyalty is merit', Bill suggests. What does this mean for China, and the world? Victor makes the point that Xi is putting the pieces in place to push through unpopular decisions – for example, an invasion of Taiwan. 'If you think about it, why would you want people whom you trust absolutely to fill every single position? Because even Chairman Mao didn't do this'. It also means that as Xi becomes more truly dictatorial, the West needs to engage with him more, not less.  We just don't know the kind of information about the US, about other countries, that are landing on Xi Jinping's desk. And this information can be incredibly distorted. So if anything, just presenting an alternative view of how the world works could be helpful. He may not believe you… but if you're able to look him in the eye and tell him something, at least he'll be forced to think about it.As for the party itself, the three of us digest the Hu Jintao incident. Regardless of what you think happened, one thing is for sure – it was a deep and utter humiliation for Hu, especially given China's deep-set Confucian respect for elders. The idea that there is any organised CCP opposition against Xi has been put to bed.

Sachin Monga is the Head of Product at Substack, a platform that I personally use every day, and love. Before Substack, Sachin co-founded an app called Cocoon, which he ended up selling to Substack. Before that, he spent over seven years at Facebook as a PM working on video and camera products, building out the developer platform, and leading the ads growth team. In today's episode, we dive deep on all things Substack. Sachin shares what it's like transitioning from a large product team at Facebook to a small growth team. He discusses how to work with a hands-on founder and why you must be comfortable with rapid change in a PM role. He also shares unique features of Substack that make it an optimized experience for readers and writers, how he'd like to see it improved, and tips for anyone wanting to get started writing online.Listen now on Apple, Spotify, Google, Overcast, and YouTube.—Where to find Sachin Monga:• Twitter: https://twitter.com/sachinmonga• LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sachinmonga/• Email: Sachin@substackinc.com—Where to find Lenny:• Newsletter: https://www.lennysnewsletter.com• Twitter: https://twitter.com/lennysan• LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lennyrachitsky/—Thank you to our wonderful sponsors for making this episode possible:• Retool: https://retool.com/lenny• Stytch: https://stytch.com/lenny• Vanta: https://vanta.com/lenny—Referenced:• Substack: https://substack.com/• Matt Taibbi on Substack: https://taibbi.substack.com/• Bill Bishop on Substack: https://sinocism.com/• Jasper: https://www.jasper.ai/• DALL-E 2: https://openai.com/dall-e-2/• 1000 True Fans: https://www.amazon.com/1000-True-Fans-Kellys-Simple-ebook/dp/B01N9P9O4G• You Are Not Late: https://medium.com/message/you-are-not-late-b3d76f963142• The Timeless Way of Building: https://www.amazon.com/Timeless-Way-Building-Christopher-Alexander/dp/0195024028• Martyrmade podcast on Substack: https://martyrmade.substack.com/• Colin Meloy on Substack: https://colinmeloy.substack.com/• Ethan Strauss on Substack: https://houseofstrauss.substack.com/• Kareem Abdul-Jabbar on Substack: https://kareem.substack.com/• Dayne Rathbone: https://www.linkedin.com/in/daynerathbone/• For All Mankind on Apple TV+: https://tv.apple.com/us/show/for-all-mankind/umc.cmc.6wsi780sz5tdbqcf11k76mkp7—In this episode, we cover:(04:34) Sachin's background(07:11) The evolution and structure of teams at Substack(10:11) What it's like working at a smaller company with a hands-on founder(12:07) How to share in a founder's vision(14:02) Why the rate of change is the most challenging aspect of the job(16:37) Why prioritization at Facebook worked differently than it does at Substack(20:03) How Substack thinks about prioritizing for writers and readers(22:17) Substack's recommendation feature and how it came to be(27:13) How recommendations have led to an increase of millions of subscribers(31:34) Moving forward with network-driven discovery (32:17) The “build with” principle and the product lab at Substack(35:02) How Substack deals with negative press(36:45) The writer experience at Substack(39:13) The reader-focused experience on Substack(40:41) Advice for writers(44:45) Substack's vision for making creation easier(46:39) Common mistakes creators make, and how product improvements could help in some cases (49:57) Why you're not too late to join the game(52:52) Lightning round—Production and marketing by https://penname.co/.

Can you immediately start on that change your business needs? Learning how to adapt. Something terrible can always happen! ~ About Bill Bishop: In his teenage years, Bill Bishop was dead set against a career in marketing. His parents operated a small marketing company and to save money, they often used Bill as free labor in advertising and PR programs. At the age of six, he was cast as "The OFF Boy" in a series of commercials for the famous insect repellant. At age 14, they dressed him up in a frog outfit to promote a local retail mall, followed by a humiliating stint in a pink bunny suit. These indignities, along with many others, made Bill swear he would never pursue marketing as a career. Yet, in his early 20s, Bill was thrust back into the marketing world when he won a waiter contest by selling 1,400 lobsters. This seminal event was so inspiring and lucrative that Bill concluded he actually loved marketing and decided to start his own marketing company. Since that time, Bill and his team of coaches have helped more than 10,000 entrepreneurs in dozens of industries around the world develop and market innovative BIG Ideas. Today, Bill is the CEO of The BIG Idea Company and the creator of The BIG Idea Adventure™, an advanced coaching program that helps entrepreneurs grow their business by creating, packaging, and promoting BIG Ideas. He is also the founder of The New Economy Network, and the inventor of the popular board game Quibberish®: The Paraphrase Puzzle Game. In addition, Bill is the author of nine books including How To Sell A Lobster (now sold in 25 countries in 12 languages), The Problem With Penguins, Beyond Basketballs, Return of The Lobster, and Global Marketing For The Digital Age. He was also the author of Strategic Marketing For The Digital Age (1996), the first book published about e-commerce and Internet marketing. He recently published his new book The New Factory Thinker: Re-Wire Your Mind For Success In A Disrupted Marketplace. He also published Going To The Net, a book about using psychology and mindfulness to excel at tennis and life. Bill has delivered speeches to hundreds of organizations including The MIT Entrepreneur Program, TEC, Entrepreneur's Organization (EO), Advocis, The Knowledge Bureau, MDRT, NAIFA, NAPFA, Independent Financial Brokers, Workcomp Advisors, Pro-Seminars, BNI, The Ivey School of Business, The Schulich School of Business, and Queen's University Executive MBA Program. ~ BIG IDEA THINGS YOU CAN DO 1.

Over the past three decades, the U.S. made a bet that integrating China into the global economy and international institutions would moderate its behavior. But as we've discovered, the opposite happened. Today, the Chinese Communist Party has grown more aggressive at home and abroad, and as a result, we find ourselves at a key phase of a generational struggle that will define our politics for years to come. What led to the current state of affairs between the U.S. and China, and why did it take the U.S. so long to recognize its policy towards the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) failed? And what can we learn from our mistakes to ensure that the Free World is well positioned to win this competition? To explore these questions, Rep. Gallagher is joined by Bill Bishop, who publishes the highly-regarded China newsletter, Sinocism. Bill spent more than a decade living in China, and has as good a pulse as anyone on how the U.S. relationship with the CCP has evolved over time. And while the majority of the conversation focuses on General Secretary Xi Jinping's ambitions and the administration's posture towards China, Bill also gives Rep. Gallagher a few pop culture tips, including a compelling way to get Tom Cruise to testify before Congress.

As we continue to navigate the new norm of social distancing and remote work, one thing hasn't changed. We have to eat. Brush our teeth. Wash our hands and do all these things which still require grocery shopping. This need to shop, mixed with the need to stay parked on your couch, has quickly changed the grocery industry. Bill Bishop, Chief Architect at Brick Meets Click, provides insight on the evolving world of grocery. If you don't know Bill, his day to day at Brick Meets Click focuses on analyzing the forces driving change in food and grocery retailing and providing practical guidance on how to respond effectively. He was the Vice President of Research at the Supermarket Institute (now FMI), founded Willard Bishop Consulting and led major studies on new store formats, pricing strategy, direct store delivery, and loyalty marketing. Presented by The Future of Customer Engagement and Experience (www.the-future-of-commerce.com), where you can find our section of information dedicated to leadership, data, and current news around COVID-19.

COVID-19 isn't just destroying economies, it's also reshaping the global order. In less than a month, the novel coronavirus has moved from being China's Chernobyl to being an advertisement for China’s brand of governance. As Western governments, in particular the US, fail to grapple with this enormous public health challenge, China is presenting itself as the world’s saviour. Beijing's multipronged approach includes using facemask diplomacy donating medical equipment to the West, while its diplomats try to sow doubt about whether the outbreak began in Wuhan. To discuss the geopolitics of COVID-19 against the backdrop of deteriorating US-China relations, we’re joined by Ian Bremmer, president and founder of the political risk consulting firm Eurasia Group and G-ZERO Media, and host of the podcast “GZERO World with Ian Bremmer”, as well as Bill Bishop, the founder of the Sinocism China newsletter, and Simon Rabinovitch, the Economist’s Shanghai-based correspondent.
