Funny is just a multiplier. It’s the grind that makes you a great comic.

Ideas vs. execution, the exponential function, and the freedom-specificity tradeoff.

Derek Sivers: Ideas are just a multiplier of execution.

Ideas are worth nothing unless executed. They are just a multiplier. Execution is worth millions.

It’s the same with being funny. Funny is worth nothing without grind – the writing, the performing, the honing, the repetition, etc. Funny is just a multiplier. It’s the grind that makes you a great comic.
