As a founder of productivity SaaS startup, who also wants to solve the problems of knowledge management, my journey would naver have been possible without Phil and Evernote. I still vividly remember the moment I first knew about Evernote in early 2010, which then completely changed my life. Ever since this eye-opening, life-changing moment, I have always been desiring to build something valuable like Evernote, which ultimately led to the current product our team and I are building, Typed. Thank you Phil, for changing people’s lives. Not only your product but your journey has truly inspired millions of entrepreneurs all over the world. Thanks EO for sharing such inspiring stories behind the scenes, which we cannot hear elsewhere.

[The two killing parts of this video] 1. (05:59) "For a product to succeed, it needs to be great at something. It's fine if it's not very good in a lot of other things, but it needs to be really sharply great at something. At Evernote, we were really great at a couple of things." 2. (10:54) "Like, I don't I don't think I've ever taken someone from like no to yes. I always take people from yes to yeah, definitely." I'm looking forward to the next episode. FOREVER EO👍.

"Most ideas are not very original, what really matters is the execution." A really great and valuable video!

Thanks EO for sharing this great talk by Phil. Key takeaways: 1. Build the product for yourself or a community you already know well 2. Focus on being better than the competition in some very specific ways rather than everything 3. Side with users rather than payers during conflicts 4. Focus on exciting users who like you rather than change everyone's mind

Evernote is most certainly responsible for cool producitivty apps that we take for granted nowadays. Thank you Phil, for paving the way and never stopping to build products of value.

Fantastic!

The most fundamental lessons and should be applied in every first entrepreneurial venture [9:14 to 10:49]. I may also add that entrepreneurial success is in part the compounding effects of acquiring and applying knowledge in an iterative process and to do it confidently. If you're doing something that is intuitive to you, you'll start with the confidence in following through. Good luck everyone!

i was one of the first users in the middle east, and even in un imaginable place, this app helped me clear my head alot of times, thank you phil

최고!

Yes to yeah!!

Why does this channel have little subscribers!!! This is one of the best channels I found on YT

I think I shall subscribe

I was a happy subscriber of the early Evernote. At the first major GUI update I was alienated and stopped subscribing

Please make every ceo video

[Suggestions for modifying captions] 1:35 And it 'rarely' considered ~

What happened to the 100 year company?

이렇게 해서 스티브 워즈니악까지 가보죠..!!!

Hi Phil why are VCS such short sighted on deals?

[물론 인터뷰 내용은 잘 들었고 도움이 많이 되었습니다.] 2016년부터 에버노트 쓰고 있는데.... (프리미엄 결제까지 5년 간 해오고 있습니다) 하아 제발 좀 개선 좀 해줘요 이제 노션 쓰는 게 더 편한 세상인데 그동안 에버노트에 자료를 너무 많이 넣어놔서 옮길수가 없음 어느 정도냐면 프로그램 처리 속도가 너무 느려서 업데이트가 안되는 레거시 에버노트를 써야 할 정도에요... 제발 좀. 돈 안 아깝게 좀 해줘요 무료보다 못하면 어쩝니까

Promised "sexy encryption" in Evernote but left after that.

🔥🔥

Nice House

I didnt know Tom Hanks was a coder!

I just can't uninstall because my phone don't get permission to delete your app. I wonder who will paid notepad for note something.

Obsolete now. Notion is the new.

Nice, but the latest build which is fully online sucks. Desktop version is much more responsive.

Overrated app.

If you guys could get in contact with Phill for me , I have another billion dollar prototype for him

ok. But this time is notion time

Never heard of it
