@scaling_shields This why you can't trust edom. Not even a coffee

my accountant told me last month he has a client who writes off $8K/month in "coffee meetings" i asked how thats even possible "he buys coffee for strangers at the airport" this guy lives in nashville flies to a different city 3-4 times a month for "business development" sits in the airport lounge for 6 hours walks around and spots people who look like they run businesses "hey man heading to dallas too? can i buy you a coffee?" 15 minute conversation at the gate exchanges linkedin if theyre a good fit he follows up 2 days later: "good talking to you at the airport - saw on your profile youre in [industry]. we help companies like yours with [problem]. would it make sense to explore this?" conversion rate from coffee → booked call: 41% last year he closed $380K in revenue from airport conversations total cost: - flights: $46K (only books refundable tickets, cancels half of them) - coffees: $8,400 - lounge memberships: $1,200 total: $55,600 in expenses return: $379,000 6.7x ROI "why not just cold email or go to networking events" "networking events are full of people trying to sell. airports are full of people trying to get home. their guard is down. they have time to kill. a $6 coffee feels like hospitality not a pitch." he tracks every conversation in a notion database airport, persons name, company, flight number, what they ordered, topics discussed 217 coffees bought last year 89 turned into calls 14 turned into clients average deal size: $27K the IRS audited him in 2024 he showed them: - boarding passes - receipts with timestamps - linkedin messages matching the dates - closed deals traced back to specific airports they approved everything his biggest month was september sat in LaGuardia for 11 hours on a delayed flight bought coffee for 6 people 4 of them booked calls 2 closed for a combined $61K "that delayed flight made me more than most peoples salary" no ads no cold calls no website traffic no followers just a guy who realized business class lounges are full of his exact ICP and theyre all sitting there bored as hell with nothing to do most people avoid conversations at airports this guy built a $380K pipeline from them

@shubhvanii If you grew up in the trenches? Brother in Christ you are in India lol you know nothing of "trenches".

If you grew up in the trenches, you already know this: The dumber the people around you are, the more aggression you must show to be respected. The smarter the people around you are, the less aggression you must show to be respected. This is an unwritten law of human hierarchy.

@theNFLchick Baltimore yak is dirty though lmao

@binarycode56 They didn’t call it dirty LOL

Learning how to protect with the O-Line is one of the MOST important things in all of football, and also in @EAMaddenNFL. #Madden #NFL #Football #QB

Former Dolphins Safety Cedric Thompson reflects on his football career and specifically why it didn’t work out in Miami. A good lesson in humility this morning #PhinsUp

@TS_Secrets In 10 years robots will be doing this.

There are only about 25,000 elevator technicians in the entire U.S. Let that sink in. Now think about how many elevators exist: • Apartments • Hospitals • Hotels • Office buildings • Airports Every single one needs maintenance… forever. Now here’s where it gets interesting: Elevator techs make $100k on average Top earners clear $150k+ With overtime in big cities? Even higher. And the “training pipeline” everyone talks about? It’s not 4 years of college. It’s: • Apprenticeship programs • Trade-based training • Earn while you learn So let me get this straight… We’re telling 18 year olds to take on $100k+ in debt… Instead of pointing them toward a career where they can make six figures fixing elevators? Here’s the controversial part: The shortage isn’t because the job is bad. It’s because no one is telling kids this path exists. We’ve marketed college. We’ve ignored trades like this. And now we have a massive gap. In 10–15 years? The people who chose these “invisible trades” are going to look like geniuses. Fun fact: only one out of the three elevators worked during our trip and average wait time was 10-15 mins.

Median family income in the US increased from $10,000 in 1971 to $106,000 today, a 10x increase. However, the median cost of homes increased from $25,000 to $445,000, a 17x increase. And the median cost of cars increased from $3,600 to $50,000, a 14x increase. The median cost of college increased from $2,900 a year to $45,000, a 16x increase. And the average cost of healthcare per person increased from $350 to $14,600, a 42x increase. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY INSANE.

Dude is explaining how middle-class brands used to be cool is funny but accurate. Back then you could afford the “nice but not crazy” version of things. Now it’s either luxury pricing or something that feels like it might break on the way home. #sundaythoughts

@markgadala Yall couldn't have been that dumb and not seen that coming

This is wild. 143 million people thought they were catching Pokémon. They were actually building one of the largest real-world visual datasets in AI history. Niantic just disclosed that photos and AR scans collected through Pokémon Go have produced a dataset of over 30 billion real-world images. The company is now using that data to power visual navigation AI for delivery robots. Players didn't just walk around with their phones. They scanned landmarks, storefronts, parks, and sidewalks from every angle, at every time of day, in lighting and weather conditions that staged photography would never capture. They documented the physical world at a scale no mapping company with a fleet of vehicles could have replicated on the same timeline or budget. Niantic collected this systematically, data point by data point, across eight years, while users thought the only thing at stake was catching a rare Charizard. The most valuable AI training datasets in the world aren't being assembled in data centers. They're being built by people who have no idea they're building them.

@jaynitx So basically he don't wanna hire himself .. majority of his accomplishments are based on growing up with money and the hard work of others lol

Elon Musk reveals the single question he uses to spot liars in interviews: "When I interview somebody, I really just ask them to tell me the story of their career, what are some of the tougher problems they dealt with, how they dealt with those, and how they made decisions at key transition points. Usually that's enough to get a very good gut feel about someone." Elon explains what he's looking for: "What I'm really looking for is evidence of exceptional ability. Did they face really difficult problems and overcome them?" Then he shares how to tell if someone is lying about their accomplishments: "You want to make sure that if there was some significant accomplishment, were they really responsible, or was somebody else more responsible? The person who actually had to struggle with the problem, they really understand it. They don't forget. You can ask them very detailed questions about it and they will know the answer. The person who was not truly responsible for that accomplishment will not know the details." On whether college degrees matter: "There's no need to have a college degree at all. Or even high school. If somebody graduated from a great university, that may be an indication they'll be capable of great things, but it's not necessarily the case. Look at Bill Gates, Larry Ellison, Steve Jobs. These guys didn't graduate from college. But if you had a chance to hire them, of course that would be a good idea." He concludes: "I'm just looking for evidence of exceptional ability. If there's a track record of exceptional achievement, it's likely that will continue into the future."

got his ass in the pythagorean theorem

@jamaalwvetose @girlmeetmars That's what they trick you to think. In actuality they print this shit for themselves and it only has value to people who brown nose to them like you. That's the whole inflation that happens. God made everything we need plentifully.

@girlmeetmars Yes you do the fact y’all think economic and capitalism works to your desires and wants is laughable. Y’all control nothing all the thinkpiece and entitlement not going change you work for whatever the market is willing to pay

It’s also economic and capitalism. I swear to God yall have to realize that in order for money to have value it can’t be plentiful. Everybody can’t be millionaires and billionaires. That’s the hard truth of supply and demand

Steve Nash shares the truth about the journey to greatness. "You don't have to be the chosen one." "The secret is to build the resolve and spirit to enjoy the plateaus - the times when it doesn't feel like you're improving and you question why you're doing this." Most people quit during the plateau. Learn to embrace it. "If you're patient, the plateaus will become springboards." Progress isn't linear. The flat moments aren't wasted - they're building. "Never stop striving, reaching for your goals until you get there." "But the truth is, even when you get there - even when you get here, standing on this stage - it's the striving, fighting, pushing yourself to the limit every day that you'll miss and you'll long for." "You'll never be more alive than when you give something everything you have." The destination isn't the reward - the journey is. Enjoy the process and fall in love with the climb because that's where life happens.

@LibertyCappy The only reason to give to charity is for a tax break. The charities most likely use your money to pay executives and fund elaborate ways to spend it on themselves.

Still crickets from them
