Note: Due to tech issues with my headphones and microphone, my audio on this show isn't of the typical quality for It Gets Late Early. But Dan sounds great!If you love comedy and work in tech, you must have watched HBO's Silicon Valley. If you haven't…fix that immediately, but it's a show about the struggles of Richard Hendricks, a Silicon Valley founder and engineer trying to build his own company, Pied Piper. The comedic genius of that show is straight-up legendary!Today, I have Dan Lyons, a writer on HBO's Silicon Valley and author of the NYT bestseller "Disrupted: My Misadventure in the Start-Up Bubble," which the LA Times called "the best book about Silicon Valley today." He followed up this book with two more - “Lab Rats: How Silicon Valley Made Work Miserable for the Rest of Us,” and his most recent book, “STFU: The Power of Keeping Your Mouth Shut in an Endlessly Noisy World.” Dan also was the creator of the anonymously penned blog "The Secret Diary of Steve Jobs."Dan regales us with a story about his first day working at a promising tech startup at the age of 52. He also walks us back to a time when his then-CEO was quoted in the New York Times saying, effectively, we don't appreciate old employees. You'll hear how Dan responded…and what he wishes he had done now with the benefit of hindsight.But after all his (mis)adventures in a tech company that only wanted to hire young workers, Dan now works at a job he loves at DocuSign.

"So, having come from the journalism world, you're a little freer in that world to be kind of irreverent about your own institution or your boss. You can be a little obnoxious and get away with it."- Dan LyonsIn This Episode:-How does one transition from losing a journalism job to entering a tech startup?-What is it like walking through the door on the first day as an older employee in a tech company?-Dan recollects his days working for a company whose CEO told the New York Times that "gray hair and experience are really overrated"-What was it like working at Newsweek?-Experiencing the reality of midlife collision-The call to work at HBO's Silicon Valley and Dan's big break as a writer-How Dan wrote his bestselling book "Disrupted" and the events that led him to write two more books-The Bozo Explosion explained-It all comes down to the culture-Horoscopes, Love Language, and Twin Flames-How to find your twin flame employer-Maureen's childhood crush(es) revealedAnd much more.Resources:-Disrupted: My Misadventure in the Start-Up Bubble by Dan Lyons: https://danlyons.io/books-STFU: The Power of Keeping Your Mouth Shut in an Endlessly Noisy World by Dan Lyons: https://danlyons.io/books-Lab Rats: How Silicon Valley Made Work Miserable for the Rest of Us by Dan Lyons:

The idea of a small, dynamic company with big ambitions and a mission that all employees believe in, seems to be something that everyone wants a slice of these days. Industrial heavyweights such as car-makers, BMW and Ford have been launching their own spin-off initiatives to try to capture that startup magic themselves. But what exactly is startup culture and how can a company hang on to it as it grows? Is it even possible for corporate giants to emulate it? At the London offices of Transferwise, presenter Ed Butler gets to grips with startup culture, through a game of Ping-Pong with CEO Taavet Hinrikus. It is all good fun, but how much do employees really benefit from working in environments like this one? And when does a culture, become a cult? To explore all that and more, Ed returns to the studio where he is joined by Alicia Navarro, CEO and co-founder of the London-based tech startup, Skimlinks, and from Boston in the US by Dan Lyons, author of a recent best-selling book, Disrupted: My Misadventure in the Startup Bubble, and Bill Aulet, managing director of the Martin Trust Centre for MIT Entrepreneurship and a senior lecturer at the MIT Sloan School of Management.

If you read between the lines, Facebook just told us it’s going to become a lot more expensive to be in marketing soon. In their recent blockbuster earnings announcement, CFO Dave Wehner said something interesting: Facebook’s ad load, or the total number of ads the company can show to each user, will be a "relative non-factor for predicting Facebook’s future revenue growth starting this time next year." Translation: Facebook is about to max out on the number of ads it can show users inside its platform, which means it will need to find other ways to grow the company’s ad business in the future. Simply increasing the number of ads it shows people will not be an option. The optimal ad load is really a mix of art and science,” Wehner said. “We also want to be thoughtful about making sure each person’s overall feed experience has the right balance of organic and ad content.” This was surprising to analysts, as evidenced by the fact that many of them then asked Facebook’s executives to elaborate on what this means. So what does it mean? Monetization options It means that Facebook will need to do three possible things: 1) add more users, 2) create better-performing ads that it can sell for more money, or 3) find creative new ways to monetize our personal information. Facebook’s user base is already growing — it added 60 million new users last quarter alone — but the “create better ads” part seems more difficult. Facebook will either need to do a better job proving its ads lead to sales, which it’s already trying to do, or offer more premium ads, like the commercials you might see on TV. A few years ago, I wrote a post called Content Shock: Why Content Marketing is not Sustainable which predicted this eventuality. As companies compete for limited attention span, the cost of marketing will have to go up as the channels “fill up" with content. In essence, this is what social media platforms WANT to do. The more Content Shock they can create, the higher the prices they can charge for ads. Let’s look at what’s happening over at Snapchat, the newest marketing darling. To monetize its popular platform, Snapchat recently began inserting ads between customer stories. Customers are pushing back. They piled on to Snapchat to get away from ads! But here they come. How many ads can Snapchat display? There is a limited ad inventory, and as that gets sucked up by eager marketers the price will go up and up. Eventually some companies aren’t going to be able to hang in that environment for long. It will be just too expensive. For some companies, it already is. As content popularity increases, it costs more to promote and compete. It's a great discussion topic for our new podcast episode and in this edition of The Marketing Companion, Tom Webster and I break this down for you. We also get into some other interesting topics: Why Silicon Valley firms need to move to Dayton, Ohio. Seriously. Twitter's new branding effort -- Is it finally getting on track? Is there anything unique about Twitter's content offering? Tom and I disagree on this one. Plus, Tom introduces some ... unusual ... new applications from the Marketing Companion Labs.

Deze week bespreken we de hoogtepunten van Googles ontwikkelaarsconferentie I/O: De jaarlijkse bijeenkomst van Google staat doorgaans in het teken van Android, maar draaide dit jaar vooral om kunstmatige intelligentie en hoe Google het leven van zijn gebruikers in de breedste zin van het woord gemakkelijker wil maken. Het bedrijf toonde onder meer een slimme fysieke assistent voor in huis. Home is een speaker die het hele huis moet kunnen besturen en zijn gebruikers slim moet helpen met het uitvoeren van taken. Daarnaast kondigde Google nog een aantal nieuwe apps aan, werd bekend dat Android-apps op Chromebooks gaan draaien en werd een nieuwe strategie rond virtual reality uit te doeken gedaan. Leestip De leestip van deze week is het boek Disrupted: My Misadventure in the Startup Bubble van Dan Lyons. In het boek vertelt de oud-journalist over zijn desastreuze carrièreswitch naar de startup Hubspot. In het boek neemt de Amerikaanse schrijver op hilarische wijze de Silicon Valley-cultuur op de hak, terwijl hij ook ruimte laat voor een serieuze bezinning over de economische realiteit - en waanzin - van de techbubbel.

A 2016 mini-interview with Dan Lyons about his book Disrupted: My Misadventure in the Start-Up Bubble.

A 2016 interview with Dan Lyons about his book Disrupted: My Misadventure in the Start-Up Bubble.

Interview with Dan Lyons, author of "Disrupted: My Misadventure in the Start-Up Bubble" Author Dan Lyons has reported on and satirized the tech industry. Dan reported on the industry for Newsweek and Forbes, he wrote the satirical fake Steve Jobs blog and has been a member of the writing team for the HBO comedy series "Silicon Valley." Dan was laid off from Newsweek shortly before it discontinued its print edition. This was around April 2013, and Dan was 52.  Next, after some soul searching and panic, which I can relate to, Dan took a job in the world he'd long written about and became the “marketing fellow” at a startup called HubSpot, which sells a marketing software platform that is designed to help companies attract visitors and turn them into customers. I personally have some familiarity with HubSpot, having been at Oracle.  And, I  relate to Dan's story, after being laid off by Oracle, at the then age of 56.  But, back to Dan's story, at this startup, HubSpot, Dan was the “Designated” old guy, twice the age of many of the people he worked with. Dan stayed at HubSpot less than two years.  He's written a new book, just out this week, a memoir called "Disrupted: My Misadventure In The Start-Up Bubble." He describes the book as the story of what it's like to reinvent yourself and start a new career in your 50s in an industry that is by and large hostile to older workers.
