The Future of Media & The Power of Video

NEWSLETTER SENT: 2020-06-07

Hey,

Trung here.

Dropped the previous website “OneTrunna” as people kept asking me what it meant and the explanation always started with “so, in first year of university…” which is usually a bad sign.

So, I bought www.TrungTPhan.com because it was $7.99 while www.TrungPhan.com was $395. That’s some bullsh*t.

Two updates this week.

1. 30 Companies Defining The Future of Media
I made a monster slide deck on companies defining the future of media for Trends.co. It was inspired by a tweet from Blake Robbins, an early-stage VC @ Ludlow Ventures.

I felt old AF making the deck as I didn’t know half the companies beforehand. Blake was nice enough to re-tweet the presentation and you can find an abridged public version of the deck here.

2. Eugene Wei & The Power Of Video
Eugene Wei is one of my favourite writers.

He’s an amazing thinker on business and technology (worked at Amazon, Flipboard, Hulu, Oculus) with a background in media and filmmaking (studied at UCLA’s Film School).

Here’s a blog post on why the video opportunity remains huge and how Silicon Valley will complete its takeover of Hollywood.
