Doomberg: The Story Behind The Green Chicken


Listen Later

Hey Guys! I started The Value Hive Podcast three years ago on the floor of my bedroom in my parents house. Today, I interviewed the iconic green cartoon chicken Doomberg. Lesson? Work hard and you too can interview cartoon chickens. This episode is a behind the scenes of what happens inside the hen house. Going from idea generation to the first draft, then to editing and publishing. How to use twitter to create demand. Why having a good enough title is is essential for crossing the chasm into virality, and lessons learned from starting Doomberg and what the future holds.

    Mitimco

    This episode is brought to you by MIT Investment Management Company, also known as MITIMCo, the investment office of MIT. Each year, MITIMCo invests in a handful of new emerging managers who it believes can earn exceptional long-term returns in support of MIT's mission. To help the emerging manager community more broadly, they created emergingmanagers.org, a website for emerging manager stockpickers.

    For those looking to start a stock-picking fund or just looking to learn about how others have done it, I highly recommend the site. You'll find essays and interviews by successful emerging managers, service providers used by MIT's own managers, essays MITIMCo has written for emerging managers and more!

Investors can easily request new companies, and Quartr is quick to add them. You can learn more about Quartr by visiting their site, Quartr.se
