    Devin Nickelson on Storytelling, Resolution, and Retention

    Filmed at the Quant house with Devin Nickelson, the filmmaker behind Its Media Production. This one is for anyone who makes video and wants people to actually finish it. Devin thinks about story structure the way most creators think about hooks: constantly. We get deep on craft. How an A storyline and a B storyline can split apart and still pay off, why a story has to resolve in the same lane it started, and how unresolved stories quietly kill your next video. Then Devin's advice for getting into production: swallow your pride, learn fast, and make things you actually love, because the niche audience always exists. What we cover: A storyline vs B storyline, and why the side plot has to fight its way back to the main objectiveWhy resolution decides retention, and the bad taste an unfinished story leaves behindHow edging an audience and skipping the payoff trains them to stop watching earlySwallow your pride: the fastest way into production is learning from people ahead of youMake it for yourself first, and trust that someone out there will love the ideaHow a video producer like Devin can post one finished edit to TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and X at once with Socialync, instead of exporting and re-uploading four times by hand About the guest: Devin Nickelson is the founder of Its Media Production, a video production studio, and a storyteller who breaks down narrative structure for short-form and long-form content.

    Quinn Fukawa: One Video, 100 Founders, and the Long Game

    First in-person episode of the Socialync podcast. I sat down with Quinn Fukawa in San Diego right after TechCon to talk about how one video blew up overnight and turned into Quant, a community of 100 startup founders spread across the US, Europe, and Australia. Quinn also sells residential real estate in the Phoenix metro, so we got into the stuff nobody warns you about: the 70 to 80% first-year dropout rate, shiny object syndrome, and why most agents treat content like a trophy instead of a funnel. What we cover: How Quinn and his co-founder Antonio posted one video in November and woke up to 100+ applications by morningWhy real estate has one of the highest first-year quit rates of any job, and how to survive itThe commercial real estate opportunity hiding in Phoenix's empty malls and post-Covid office spaceShiny object syndrome, and why a niche inside a niche keeps you aliveWhy content is a credibility play first and a lead gen play second, and how most agents get the funnel backwardsHow Quinn went from "posting everywhere is a pain" to using Socialync to cross-post one upload to Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube at the same timeThe long game: why everything takes 3x longer than you plan for, and why grit beats talent over eight months About the guest: Quinn Fukawa is the co-founder of Quant and the 100, a global community for early-stage startup founders, and a residential real estate agent in the Phoenix metro.

    TopRahmun | How Food Content Calls on our primal Instincts...

    Episode 7. Rahmun Aung Khin runs TopRahmun, a Phoenix food account with 20K+ followers across TikTok, Instagram, and X, plus a corporate day job. He reached out because he likes Socialync, so we got him on the podcast and went deep on what's actually working in food content right now This is the practical episode. If you make food content (or any content where the viewer has to feel something fast), play it twice. What we cover: Why Rahmun thinks TikTok is losing the algorithm war in 2026, and why Instagram is suddenly the better platformThe "100 random people" theory of why your TikTok views crater for no reasonWhy food content lives or dies on jealousy (the caveman analogy that will rewire how you edit)Should you start a new account when you start posting content? (Short answer: yes, and here's why)The "your content might just suck" feedback that changed how Rahmun edits every videoHow to make time for content when you have a full-time job (no, you don't need a fancy camera)How TopRahmun uses Socialync to upload one food video and have it land on TikTok, Instagram, and X without re-uploading or recutting three times About the guest: Rahmun is a Phoenix-based foodie creator who reposts new creators, hates the territorial Phoenix food scene, and is one of the more honest creators we've talked to about the gap between what looks good in your own edit and what actually performs.

    Antonio Nguyen is the founder of the Quant 100, an entrepreneur community of 50 (and growing) founders building in public together. He kicked it off with a viral TikTok challenging Elon Musk, pulled in 6,000 applications, and is now slowing intake to lock in quality before opening the next echelon.

    Episode 5: Patrick Rydman on Songwriting, AI, Content, and Showing Up

    Patrick Rydman is a Swedish songwriter who's been making a living from music for 30+ years. He calls his style "existential campfire anthems": songs for people who cry in the car but sing along anyway. He's also a Socialync user who's helped shape the app from day one. We got into: Why his first TikTok account flatlined and what he learned rebuilding from zero followersHis "throw the dog a bone" approach to creativity (and why he refuses to romanticize inspiration)Why he treats content creation like brushing his teeth, not waiting for the museHow he keeps his music and his content interlinked so he doesn't become "an influencer"AI in music: scary good, but still missing the human sparkWhy live performance and authentic connection will be "hard currency" in an AI-saturated worldThe advice that finally made content stick: ditch perfectionism, get the volume up Patrick releases a new song every three weeks. Find his music wherever you stream, and his content on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube.
