Keep up with your industry on YouTube in 10 minutes a day
Quick answer
A lot of the best industry talk lives on YouTube now: founder interviews, conference talks, long tool breakdowns. Most of it runs an hour. You don't have an hour every day.
What 125x is: 125x is a web app at 125x.app. You connect your YouTube subscriptions, and it gives you a feed of the latest videos from the channels you follow, each with a summary: a verdict, the 5 key takeaways, and the spoiler, plus Actionable and Lessons tabs with more tips. You read that and decide what's actually worth opening.
Open 125xA 10 minute routine
- Pick 10 to 20 channels that really matter in your field.
- Every morning, read what's new. Titles and summaries only.
- Pull out one or two that have something you'd use this week.
- Watch those at speed, or just the key chapter, at lunch or on a walk.
- Drop one line in your notes: what you learned and who said it.
Pick channels that earn their spot
- People who actually do the work
- Channels that post less often but go deeper
- Conference channels, where the talks are already edited down
- Cut anyone who mostly repeats news you already read
Long interviews
Two hour founder interviews are the hardest. A summary tells you if the guest says something new. Then you can listen to just that part.
How 125x fits
Connect your subscriptions and your 125x feed shows every new video with a verdict, 5 takeaways, the spoiler, and the Actionable and Lessons tabs. That's the 10 minute morning read, already done. Topic chips let you look at just Tech & AI or just Money.
