@AlfieJCarter GTM

Consultants charge $15K-50K for a GTM strategy. Claude just created one for me in 8 minutes. I just compressed that into a single prompt that creates the output in 8 minutes. Same quality. $0 cost. Instant results. Reply "GTM" + follow and I'll send it to your DMs

@BasedBiohacker Great article and to find your unfair advantages check out the book “The Unfair Advantage”

@AlfieJCarter Claude

R.I.P lead gen agencies. I just replaced an entire lead gen team with Claude agents. (all working while I slept) Most founders spend $10k-$20k/month on marketing teams that work 9-5. Most agencies spend $30k+/mo on outreach. Last night I built AI agents that run 24/7: - Lead Magnet Engineer → builds viral lead magnets in minutes - Social Media Expert → writes scroll-stopping hooks - Creative Director → generates on-brand visuals - Research Analyst → finds trending topics in your niche - Performance Tracker → analyses and maps out content The results after 24 hours: - 32 lead magnets ready to launch - 60 days of content mapped out - 50+ scroll-stopping visuals created While I was sleeping. Follow + reply CLAUDE and I’ll send the full system + setup.

Yes to digital IDs, but only for politicians. With full transparency on donors, assets, and company shares. They serve the public, so the public deserves to see. As for the rest of us? A big fat No Thanks!

#WorldAutismAwarenessDay This is my 19-year-old brother. He’s my biggest fan. As always, he reminded me what pure love looks like. Spending time with him grounds me. His world is different. But it’s full of honesty, innocence, and heart.

The Unfair Advantage is such a great book for Founders and aspiring Enterpreneurs. Very insightful and thought-provoking piece. I enjoyed every bit of the chapters. I'm surprised the writers, @Ash_Ali and @StartupHasan aren't known that much in this space.

Glad you enjoyed it!

@DanielPriestley This is really insightful and spot on.

The new economy assets don't exist. In 1975, the value of a company was mostly the stuff you could touch. It had factories, machinery, stock and resources. There was a little bit left over that was hard to explain, so they called it "intangible value". Today's companies are almost completely made up of intangible value. These are assets that accountants don't really have a name for - data, algorithms, brand, systems, culture, IP, media, followers, engagement, etc. When our current government systems were created we lived in the industrial age. In this age we had a formula for how value was created: Output (value) = land + labour + capital + enterprise. We created taxation systems for all of these: property tax, income tax, capital gains, corporate tax. In the new "intangible economy" the rules have massively changed. Land - we don't need a physical place to be in business. Businesses are in the digital cloud and can operate from anywhere. Labour - technology has automated 75% of the labour requirement out of the value chain. That labour can be anywhere in the world - in a cheaper place or near a beach in a low tax city. Capital - the amount of money and physical resource required to scale a business has dropped through the floor. EG: Warren Buffet has $180B he doesn't know what to do with. Enterprise - the value of entrepreneurship has gone through the roof because all that matters in business now is the ability to spot opportunities and mobilise resources around a solution. However this can be done from anywhere in the world. SO... Why do we have massive wealth inequality? Why are governments going bust? Why do regular people feel they can't get ahead? Why are governments becoming draconian? Why are governments targeting home owners with high taxes? It's because the rules of the game have changed. We now live in an "intangible economy". This economy values traditional labour 75% less than the industrial system. This economy is nearly impossible to tax the true value creators. This economy doesn't need much capital and so the flow of capital has ground to a halt and is sitting stagnant in the hands of the wealthy. This economy needs tax revenue to run and the property owners are easy targets who can't pick up their assets and move them offshore. Until we recognise how much the game has changed and that we need a new framework for understanding and distributing the fruits of digital productivity, we are going to be in a very mixed up world for a minute.

I read 102 books in 2023. These were my top 10:

@bligh_tony Thank you! My daughter has NZ on her bucket list too. How did you find out about the book?

@Ash_Ali If that is a question, I am keen! Learning a lot from your book, so definitely happy to hear what you have to say.

Doing more with less in marketing requires tons of creativity. Would you be interested in learning how you can do it too?

Don’t listen to what people say; watch what they do. #DoubleStandards

@YaldaSayar @StartupHasan @StMartinsPress @ProfileBooks can you help this reader get a copy?

@StartupHasan @Ash_Ali @StMartinsPress Salam Hasan ,I am based in Australia and have been on a waiting list dor over 5 weeks now,to get a copy of the book as I prefer the book purchased the audible version and love it but prefer the book too,any ideas?

Who else feels absolutely grief-stricken as a result of the images of amputated children, grieving parents, and utter dismay of the Gazan people ? For whom else has this caused severe empathic distress ?

God this footage from Al Jazeera as people search through the rubble for survivors in Gaza City's Yarmouk neighbourhood. Truly apocalyptic.

This book completely changed my perspective.

Wealthy folks battle the clock, those less fortunate grapple with money, but hey, we're all in the same boat facing the universal human struggle!
