This is the most stunning admission of covert racism and sexism I’ve ever heard captured on audio. Jann Wenner is the founder of Rolling Stone. That he didn’t find artists like Joni Mitchell or Stevie Wonder “articulate” enough to consider them masters is actually insane. 🔊

Why it worked

Contradicts something the audience already believes, which stops the scroll.
Follows a clear Hook → Context → Landing shape, so the reader always knows where they are.
Written from experience rather than as advice, which is harder to argue with.
Short enough to read in full without expanding, which removes a step before the point lands.
Short sentences keep the pace up, so the reader never has to re-read a line.
Quotes someone directly, which makes the moment concrete rather than summarised.

The mechanics

Hook: Plain observation
Structure: Hook → Context → Landing
Style: Conversational paragraphs at a steady pace.
Tone: personal, punchy
Mechanisms: Pattern interrupt
Written for: Founders and early-stage teams
