He lives in New York. What we covered in the interview:

Tony Stubblebine is a CEO.  Not once, not twice, but three times he was trusted by people with money not to lose it too quickly.  But Tony didn't grown up with goal of becoming another stressed out white guy running a company. He excelled in computer science and was driven to make enough money to live securely, to own a home. Unfortunately, work is gonna work and Tony found himself consistently dissatisfied because he wasn't doing work that mattered. He wasn't doing work that impacted people.  So he swiped the trajectory of his career from the hands of others and firmly gripped it in his own. Listen to the story of a late blooming entrepreneur who found a way to lead with purpose.  Oh, and he gives his perspective on why diversity, equity, and inclusion programs fail. #careerpodcast #blackwomenpodcast #entrepreneur #ceo #leadership #chiefexecutiveofficer #writer #tech  TONY STUBBLEBINE @coachtony MEDIUM https://medium.com

The media world has been rocked by artificial intelligence, labor strife, the creator economy, the decimation of business models and so much more. But sometimes it's not collapse and crisis that's the most interesting story, but rather just another day of a assiduously growing a platform. That's the story I want to talk about today on risk gaming, and we're going to zoom in on Medium. It's a venerable media business founded by Ev Williams all the way back in 2012. And one that has become notorious for its pivoting dance to a brighter media future. But under Tony Stubblebine who became CEO two years ago. The company has reached cash flow break even, and he believes Medium has found a balanced business and media model for the decade ahead. I wanted to learn more, so let's dive in. Episode Produced by ⁠Christopher Gates⁠ Music by ⁠George Ko⁠

As Alex says, the ground is shifting more and faster than it has in some time in the tech world, which usually means gaping craters are opened to swallow up media companies. We discuss the Reddit IPO, X apparently pivoting to video – we recorded this prior to Don Lemmon announcing he wouldn't be launching his show on X after an apparently disastrous interview with Elon Musk pissed off Musk, go figure – and the effort to ban TikTok.We also have a guest this week. Tony Stubblebine joined us to discuss where Medium fits in the information space. We talked to Tony about how Medium aims to be the place for expert content, why journalism is apparently expensive to produce because journalists have to learn about the stuff they cover, and the frequent misalignment of incentives in the media business, particularly ones reliant on advertising.Submit a question or comment for the show here: https://memo.fm/pva/Troy Young's People vs Algorithms newsletterBrian Morrissey's The Rebooting newsletterAlex Schleifer's Universal EntitiesFollow Alex, Brian and Troy on TwitterTopics: 00:00 Introducing the Voicemail Feature: A New Way to Engage01:44 Welcome to People vs. Algorithms: Unpacking Media and Tech Shifts02:06 Deep Dive into Reddit's IPO and the Future of Social Platforms02:44 Exploring Medium's Journey and Its Place in the Digital World04:29 Listener Engagement and the Future of Podcasting05:18 Analyzing Reddit's Strategy and Its Impact on the Digital Landscape16:17 X Pivoting to Video19:46 The Controversial Debate: The Potential TikTok Ban25:20 Apple's Strategy and the Shifting Tech Landscape32:21 Medium's New Direction Under CEO Tony Stubblebine40:44 Evaluating Medium's Pivot to Subscription and Target Author Strategy41:26 The Power of Expert Content in the Digital Age43:03 The Debate Over Text vs. Video Content44:05 The Importance of Writing in an Evolving Internet44:55 Addressing Changing Consumer Habits and Content Consumption48:56 The Future of Twitter and Social Media Platforms50:36 Exploring Federation and Content Distribution Strategies51:37 Navigating Negotiations with AI Companies55:17 The Potential and Challenges of Reddit's IPO58:13 The Role of Medium in Independent Expert Content Creation59:39 Reflecting on the State of Professional Media01:08:33 Closing Thoughts and Future Directions01:11:12 The Impact of Advertising on Business and Culture

Something happened when the internet turned into an ad-driven business. Incentives became oriented around grabbing attention over valuing substance and connection. What's happening now in the Fediverse gives us a chance to reverse that. To pivot out of the attention economy into something more meaningful. Tony Stubblebine has already emphasized a focus on quality at Medium. As the publisher of Better Humans and its sister publications, Tony was one of Medium's most successful community members. He knew the platform better than almost anyone and so when it came time to look for a CEO, he got the job in July 2022. In January 2023, Medium set up a Mastodon instance at me.dm. Tony's said that he believes Mastodon is “an emerging force for good in social media,” although he's still exploring what that means for his company. In today's episode, Mike and Tony discuss their reasons for wanting to participate in the Fediverse, going so far as standing up their own instances for their communities. They also discuss what's wrong with the attention economy, a framework for high-quality recommendations, and why it's an exciting time for entrepreneurs, builders, writers and consumers.Highlights of this conversation include:• under the hood on Medium's algorithm• why human curation is a true service• optimizing for substance• the third business model era of the internet • how to get started in the Fediverse

This week we had Medium CEO Tony Stubblebine, the CEO of Medium.com, a publishing platform that he has helmed for more than a year.Medium has gone through a number of versions over the years. Pivots, if you will. But what has been a steady focus in Medium's life in recent years has been its subscription business. Medium offers a paid membership tier that costs $5 per month or $50 per year. And, Tony was willing to share, it's growing once again and is heading toward a pretty key milestone.We also got into:The business of the written word.Medium's stance on AI and what its posture says about how the company views the value of writing. (More on the matter from TechCrunch here.)Why Medium thinks that everyone has something worth saying.There's a little bit of media insider chat during this podcast, which we hope you enjoy.

Recommend this show by sharing the link: pod.link/2Pages The idea at the heart of my book, How to Begin, is that we unlock our greatness by working on the hard stuff. Now, when I wrote the first draft of that book …and I shared it with friends, the feedback I got was it was confusing and a deeply underwhelming mess. And so when I picked myself up off the floor and I picked through the rubble to see if there's anything that could be rescued, the most precious thing was, in fact, that line, ‘We unlock our greatness by working on the hard stuff.' But here's the rub. What that is saying is this: how will you disrupt what's comfortable for you now? How will you stir things up? How will you confuse and disappoint and anger some people around you? How will you make them and you nervous? …When you step up and you work on the hard stuff, you step forward into the unknown and to that ambiguity, you find something thrilling and important and daunting. I first came across Tony Stubblebine because, back in the day, he started Coach Me, an early habit tracker app. He turned that app into a successful coaching business, in part by becoming one of the most successful writers on Medium, a platform devoted to publishing, writing about human stories and ideas. When the founding CEO of Medium wanted to step down, Tony welcomed the opportunity to step into that role, and grow Medium and widen its impact.

Parker, Jr. [reading begins at 21:41] Hear us discuss: The desire to create your own company. “A lot of entrepreneurs have a lack of trust. [A belief that] I cannot put my career in the hands of other people.” [7:00] | When you say yes to something, you're saying no to other things. Tony talks about what that meant for him when he was called back to be the CEO of Medium. [10:00] | “People especially are like, well, we got to put a bunch of ideas out and let them compete, and the best ideas will win. I think what we found is the best ideas don't win and the loudest ideas, the most toxic ideas, often are the ones that are winning.” [15:00] | Endurance athletes can experience expending all of their mental and physical resources; going to and tipping right over the edge of what is possible by observing and accepting what is happening rather than negotiating whether or not they can do it. There are benefits to this type of focus for everyone, and mental conditioning such as meditation can help you achieve them. [24:55] | “People always want a quick fix, but the most reliable fix is a massive amount of work.” Tony shares how increased calm and mental awareness can help you use what you know more effectively, even when you're under great pressure. [34:16] | When you look beyond habits you find identity and belief which have a greater influence on the choices that you make. [41:40] | What can change for you when you think about your life in terms of a cognitive budget, and reducing the number of opportunities you have to make choices that aren't aligned with your identity.

Today I speak with Tony Stubblebine, the CEO and co-founder of Lift, a company working on boosting human potential. This is a momentous episode for me. Why? Well, Lift is my favourite app. It's been the driver to changing my life in a positive way. It's done this by simply motivating me to adopt really good habits. I've now achieved over 100 checkins waking up at 5am, going for an early morning walk and living on a low-carb diet.

EP 191 Tony Stubblebine, the CEO and co-founder at Coach.me. Listen as Nathan and Tony talk about different branches of coaching and the latter’s claim to fame as Jack Dorsey’s last boss. Bio Tony Stubblebine co-founded Coach.Me (formerly knows as Lift) on the idea that positive reinforcement and community support could be deployed universally to help people achieve their goals. Prior to Coach.Me, he was the founder and CEO of CrowdVine Event Social Networks, which builds simple and powerful social software to help people connect and meet. He was part of the Wesabe launch team, Director of Engineering at Odeo.com and Engineering Lead for O’Reilly Media. He is the author of Regular Expression Pocket Reference (O’Reilly). Time Stamped Show Notes: 01:00 – Nathan’s introduction to today’s show 01:54 – Tony joins the show. * 02:27 – Tony refused to be interviewed for the book Hatching Twitter so that he could write his own book one day. His claim to fame is ‘the last boss of Jack Dorsey.’ 05:01 – Tony talks about Coach.me which hit 1 million users. 07:16 – Mechanically Coach.me was a success because it was successful in revenue, conversion, and results from the service. 09:10 – Coach.me takes a 50% cut of coaching fees as a revenue source. 10:03 – Digital coaching is when the coaching happens on a messaging based relationship. Coaches can pay a smaller cut to use the tools from Coach.me. 11:18 – In 2014, they grossed 82K$, 2015 they grossed 650K$. They project 2 million dollars in 2016. 12:22 – There are roughly 5K coaches in the database, of which there are varying degrees of commitment by the coaches. 13:49 – Rolling notes can be open or closed based on a business’s scaling. 14:34 – Tony talks about LTV (lifetime value) and how his business interacts with the metric. 16:12 – Many people tend to hire more than one coach. Unlike other branches of coaching, Coach.me has enough information to know what’s working and what isn’t. 16:47 – Jack Dorsey was a good employee while he worked under Tony. * 17:42 – Host Gator: Powerful web hosting made easy and affordable 18:20 – Famous Five Famous 5 * Favorite Book? – The Hard Thing About Hard Things * What CEO do you follow?— Evan Williams * What is your favorite online tool?— Evernote Do you get 8 hours of sleep?— Sometimes If you could let your 20 year old self know one thing, what would it be?— Have faith in yourself to work on a life mission instead of thinking about salary and location of a job. 3 Key Points: 1. Digital coaching is a branch of coaching when the client maintains constant communication through digital media. 2. Rolling notes is a way of raising funds that can be open or closed depending on business scalability. Burned money is cash that is leaving the bank account while running a business. 3. Many people tend to hire more than one coach. Unlike other branches of coaching, Coach.me has enough information to know what’s working and what isn’t. Resources Mentioned: * Edgar – Nathan uses Edgar instead of other scheduling tools for Twitter because Edgar cycles through content over and over (buffer/others you have to re-input content over and over – time consuming). In the last several months, Edgar has driven Nathan over 3728 clicks that he didn’t have to work or pay for. * Host Gator - Powerful web hosting made easy and affordable * Coach.me – Tony’s business * LinkedIn – Tony’s LinkedIn * The Hard Thing About Hard Things – Tony’s favorite business book * Evan Williams - CEO Tony follows * Evernote – Tony’s favorite online tool Credits Show Notes provided by Mallard Creatives   Listen to The Top if you want to hear from the worlds TOP entrepreneurs on how much they sold last month, how they are selling it, and what they are selling - 7 days a week in 20 minute interviews!

Today we talk with Tony Stubblebine. Tony is the CEO and Founder of Coach.me. Tony originally started his company as Lift. It was an app you used to help you make personal changes. But it was failing fast. Lift looked successful to users but was losing money day after day. Tony had a choice to make, close down Lift or make a change. And that change is what Tony and I discuss in today’s show. Here’s what else you’ll discover in this episode: Why he wanted to build tools that helped people to achieve, as he said, “really astounding things.” Tony response when he went to the bank to get a loan and they asked him, “How is it you have so many users but you’re losing money?” How the fear of losing your team when you make changes in the company stops some founders to stop growing. How they made the decision to pivot when the choice was either “shut down or try something new.” How the branding change was the beginning of the difference that made the difference. How Tim Ferriss, one of their advisors, had an idea for a challenge inside Lift started their coaching platform. The importance of a name change and why it was necessary to evolve from no profit to a revenue generating company. How their old name caused a support nightmare. What does it mean to be a ‘founder’ of a company? Why they took 4 years to, “find our legs.” Why Tony brought his investors along to coach.me after the change. The problems facing you don’t always change because the baggage you had before is brought along for the change. Tony’s challenge running a startup with revenue coming in and expenses to support staff. How he faces the challenge to bring on quality new people who aren’t sure this is something they want to risk and commit to. Why he said, “It’s interesting to look back on how much failure effects you physically and emotionally.” How things seem much simpler for Tony now that coach.me is moving more smoothly. How they evolved to creating a business-to-consumer-to-business coaching model now. Why Coach.me is moving into the business coaching market and how they’re making the transition. Why Tony loves to read case studies of successful people. How Jerry Seinfeld accidentally became the productivity hero with his one tip. Why Tony would love to have the opportunity to talk with Oprah. What Tony means when he said, “It’s not about finding the optimal strategy. It’s about finding the optimal packaging that makes it easy to adopt that strategy.” Why he said, “My job is to learn about human potential. What makes humans excel and succeed?” Enjoy the show.

Tony Stubblebine is the founder of the app Coach.me (formerly Lift). Featured in May as a Best New App by Apple, Coach.me has helped hundreds of thousands of people achieve goals ranging from productivity to fitness to stopping drinking to meditation. Coach.me (backed by Tim Ferriss and Twitter founders Ev Williams and Biz Stone) offers a combination of free daily reminders, community support and advice. You can also, for $14.99 a week get one-on-one coaching. I think a lot of the listeners (TCKs and non TCKs) would be interested in learning that they can use the app not only as a tool to improve their own habits and reach their goals, but also create entire freelancing careers as coaches. We also talk about productivity and how people can accomplish amazing results. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Tony Stubblebine was not one of those 22-year-old tech startup CEOs, wearing hoodies and distributing profane business cards. He got his start as a sharp programmer, working alongside people like Ev Williams and Biz Stone, and has been steadily climbing his way up the ladder since. The path to becoming a successful CEO involved a lot of growth and personal development for him, almost like an athlete in training. One thing he could have used much earlier is a good coach. “I didn’t get my first coach until it was way too late. Why didn’t I have an exec coach grooming me to be an executive, to be a CEO?” Follow Stubblebine's journey as he took, what others perceived to be, his weaknesses and turned them into strengths that made him a force to be reckoned with. Stubblebine shows just what it takes to become a great leader and a CEO of a multimillion dollar business. In this interview you will learn: A full breakdown of all the elements that make up a great leader and CEO The secrets to utilizing meditation in order to stay grounded and tackle any and all challenges Why you don't need to be a jerk, and there's nothing wrong with being the 'nice guy' The process of building a great product that drives social change How to bring out that 'elite performance' mindset from yourself and achieve it & much more!

In this conversation over Google Hangouts, Tony and host Vincent Horn discuss the merits and potential shadow side to behavioural design.

This post was prompted by an e-mail from Tony Stubblebine, CEO of Lift, an app for instilling positive habits in your every day life. The e-mail discusses this idea of deliberate practices which is defined as...    "focused, grueling, repetitive practice in which the subject continuously monitors his or her performance, and subsequently corrects, experiments, and reacts to immediate and constant feedback, with the aim of steady and consistent improvement."   While Tony didn't have salsa in mind, hopefully you can see the usefullness of deliberate practice in your salsa journey. Give this podcast episode a listen to learn more about Tony's thoughts on deliberate practice as well as some of my own.     --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/thisweekinsalsa/message

We all have the same 24 hours to work with.  But there are lots of ways to get more out of those hours.  We’ll give you some tips to make the job easier. Whether you work from home, work in an office, work for yourself, or for someone else, there is a tip out there that will organize, streamline, or enhance your process. 1.  Stay away from social media.  Don’t get sucked into a Twitter hole when you’re supposed to be working.  Stay off Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, all of those while you’re supposed to be working. 2.  Figure out  when you best work.  Some of us are larks and some are owls.  Forcing yourself to get up an hour earlier to get things done is useless if you’re nodding off.  Structure your day so the most important tasks get tackled when you’re at your peek. 3.  Learn how to say no.  Whether it’s an invitation, a phone call, or taking on a project when you already have too much on your plate, say no. Once you’ve finished, then you’re free to accept those things. 4.  Exercise, eat and sleep properly.  You’re brain and body can’t function if you’re poorly nourished, tired, and immobile. 5.  Get organized.  Clutter and mess are distracting.  Tidy your work area. Our personal tips: 1.  Drink coffee.  Or your stimulant of choice. 2.  Wear headphones.  Especially if you work in a loud office, get some noise cancelling headphones to block out the distracting noise.  Music or podcast optional. 3.  Mailbox.  Manage your e-mail faster and more effectively. 4.  To do list.  It should be short but detailed with everything you need to accomplish each task to hand. 5.  Set time constraints.  Set a timer and when it goes off, you’re done.  The limited window will force you to get things done.  30/30 is an app designed for this. 6.  Rescue Time.  The Mint for your time.  See how much time you’re wasting on Reddit. We’ll put a lot more ideas into the show notes for you.  Even using one of our tips or tools will make your day easier. Show Notes Wise Bread:  A great resource for personal finance information and frugal tips. College Info Geek:  Our buddy Thomas’s guide to getting the most from your college experience.

  You ask and we answer.  Five listener questions on everything from Dave Ramsey to credit cards to how to stay disciplined with spending.  1.  What is Lending Club and how is it classified?  Lending Club is a market place for crowd sourced loans.  It should be a tiny portion of your portfolio because it’s very risky.  It would be more akin to something like a penny stock than a bond. 2.  Why do we rag on Dave Ramsey so much?  Oh, you noticed.  A couple of reasons.  LMM’s doesn’t like the religious overtone to everything he says and writes.  We also disagree with his snow ball method of debt reduction.  It doesn’t make sense mathematically.  We go into this in great detail in Episode 95.  We also give Dave a lot of credit for making people think about personal finance.  Anyone doing that is doing a good thing even if we disagree with the tone or approach. 3.  How do you develop the discipline to not spend money?  In the beginning at least, surround yourself with personal finance.  Read books, listen to podcast, discuss your goals with your friends and family.  Put it in the front of your mind until it’s just a habit.  Also use our friend Tony Stubblebine’s Lift app to help you build good habits. 4.  Is it crazy to value time and freedom over money when it comes to the hours you work?  Definitely not crazy!  LMM’s delved into this in Episode 41 and it’s an important issue for us.  The five day work week is largely a result of our Puritan work ethic here in the states.  There are plenty of examples of other countries and increasingly, companies here at home that are moving to four day work weeks.  There are many benefits to both employer and employee.  Try to foster this way of thinking in your own company.  The government isn’t going to help us out here.  It has to be a grass roots effort one company at a time. 5.  I grew up being told credit cards are evil, you seem to disagree, why? And do credit scores really matter? If someone steals your cash, the cash is gone.  If your credit card is stolen, you’re out nothing.  With cash back rewards, your life can be a small percentage cheaper than if you had paid with cash.  Spending via a credit card is easier to track than cash spending.  Credit scores do matter.  When you take out a loan for a home or car, the higher your score, the better your loan terms.  They are increasingly mattering for things like renting an apartment and getting a job too.  Having a good credit score is never a bad thing.  The best way to do that is to pay your balance in full every month, no exceptions.

Tony Stubblebine, CEO of Lift.do  discusses how his habit building app can help us build good habits be they financial or another realm of our lives. Tony has a long background in tech startups.  We was the head of engineering when the first version of Twitter was built and was involved in the site  Wesabe which was a precursor of Mint. Tony is now the CEO of Lift which is a habit building app and a support system for over 200,000 goals including saving money, improving diet, and meditation.  Tony likes to call it “a personal coach that lives on your phone.”  He was inspired by the level of support he saw as a guest at a Twelve Step meeting and thought if we could have that level of support for the smaller goals in life, we could make succeeding so much easier. Like a lot of apps, Lift is free so how will they eventually make money?  The plan is to charge a fee for higher levels of coaching involving one on one interaction with one of Lift’s experts. What are some of Tony’s success building habits?  Rather than looking at a to do list,he actually blocks out time to accomplish the list.  This adds a level of accountability to an easily ignored list.  Tony likes to keep it simple.  You don’t need an elaborate scheme cooked up by a bunch of un-touchables living in their parent’s basement to ask a girl out.  You need, a job, clean clothes, and the ability to look her in the eye.  That’s it, the old K.I.S.S. method works whether you are scoping chicks or saving money. What’s Tony up to next?  Lift is adding a Q&A function. The community is one of the friendliest and most helpful on the internet.  We encourage you to join Lift to find some support for your goals, ever how big or small they may be!
