we’re seeing amazing results with the AI tools we’ve built at runway.com. the best part? we did it without any code.

it’s so simple anyone can do it. you don’t have to be technical at all.

the key is to treat AI like a human—just treat it way more human than you would naturally…

Many smart, successful people half-ass their creative projects - Twitter, podcasts, courses.

The more successful they are, the harder it is to have a beginner’s mindset.

To succeed, they need to take it seriously, hustle, and have a learning mindset.
