My conversation w Alan Pun, the founder of Super Happy Studio.

If you’ve seen a viral startup launch video on your timeline recently, chances are Alan and his team produced it.

He’s worked with some of the most ambitious YC startups, helping them translate complex products into stories people actually understand.

We spoke about emerging video trends, common failure modes, and a tactical framework for founders to think about video storytelling.

Let's get into it!

My conversation with Candy Chang, Head of Content Identity at Kleiner Perkins.

Candy has spent years inside top newsrooms at Bloomberg and CNBC, where she watched hundreds of founders learn how to tell their stories in real time, often before they became household names.

Today, she works closely with early-stage founders at Kleiner Perkins, helping them shape their narrative from day zero.

In our conversation we spoke about:

• Why storytelling went from a nice-to-have to a core founder responsibility
• What most founders get wrong about content creation
• The difference between shiny launch videos and content that actually compounds
• Why “getting started” matters more than perfect quality
• How great storytellers are made
