Don't just tell people what you do — tell them what you do for them. And how do you get your website to do that? By thinking of it as an employee with a job description — and a set of goals to hit. Here's how Duuya and Nest did it. Also starring Talha Ahad of The Centrum Media in Pakistan, and Jenny Hsu. Hosted by Rishad Patel and Alan Soon. Produced by the amazing people at Lawson Media.

There are no people problems — only process problems. If you have the right structure, right workflows, and the right processes in place, you'll be able to build a strong and effective team. In this School of Splice lesson, we'll talk about how to go about building a great team with the right hiring, retention and training strategies.

The whole point to operations is to create something. And to do it more efficiently, more accurately, and more consistently over and over again. Welcome to the fourth School of Splice foundation lesson. This one is all about building the right workflows for the outcome you're looking for.

2021 will require you to go deeper in building a direct relationship with your users or audiences, but with your true believers. Unless you’re able to capture attention and build a relationship, you can’t monetize, and therefore, you don’t have a business.

If we’re going to be in media for the next 10 years, we need to understand how to give people what they want. Find out where the gaps are. Define the problem. Test a solution. Make it valuable.

This is the Golden Age of media. You're able to move quickly and cheaply, often by using the phone in your pocket — and that means you won't need a ton of cash to start. In our first Foundation lesson, we explain how to think about putting all of this together. Hint: Start with your user's need. Hosted by Alan Soon and Rishad Patel, and produced by the nice folks at Lawson Media.
