My assessment: 1- IRGC made a bet. And the bet was that they would keep the pressure on the Strait of Hormuz, and set the market on fire, as it would be the easiest way to make Trump think twice, withdraw, TACO, or have Gulf countries turn against Trump. But it didn’t work. It won’t work militarily or just in general. UAE is joining the war in a more proactive manner, Bahrain, Kuwait, Saudi are also more eager now than ever. Qataris have completely switched against the IRGC. But also, Trump himself said "I don’t care about the strait" obviously meaning that others should join the fight, but he denied to IRGC its strategic value. Which absolutely sucks for them given how they are pissing off their own partners, China mainly. The goal of every single military operation is to either enhance posture or change the calculus of your enemy in a way that favors you, blocking the strait isn’t achieving that for them. 2- IRGC thought that Trump given that he kept on saying that "it’s going fast" that dragging and delaying discussions or surrender to Trump’s demands, they would buy time. But they don’t understand that it’s a war, you can’t buy time when you’re being hit at the core of your command and control and your units aren’t being replenished. I’m not sure if they are delusional or if they are in a state of denial and my understanding is that it’s the latter because they constantly underestimate US resolve just like they underestimated Israel last year. 3- Trump, if you haven’t noticed, is ready to escalate, it’s a problem for IRGC because they are so used to being the ones who set the tempo of escalations, (see Iran-Israel April 2025) U.S. options have widened so much compared to just a weak ago. In other words, doesn’t look good for them. They made too many enemies and too fast.

The wait is finally over. The first 1-person, 1-employee billion-dollar company is here. It just took the #1 spot on the Lean AI Leaderboard, moving the average rev/employee from $2.5M to $40M per person (a 16x jump). The product was built in 2 months by a 41-year-old and his brother from their house, with $20,000 and no funding. Here's the story: Matthew Gallagher launched Medvi, a telehealth storefront for GLP-1 weight-loss drugs in September 2024. Within 15 months, Medvi had crossed $401M in revenue, built a customer base of 250k, and generated $65M in profit. Each customer generates ~$200 a month. The total cost base in 2025 was $336 M ($160-200 M to the platforms and $130-170 M in marketing), putting the cost at $500-700 per customer. With virtually zero overhead, the business made $65M in profits last year, and they are now running at a $1.8B annual run rate in 2026. But this wasn't Matthew's first company. Before this, he founded a company with 60 employees. It felt like progress, but the profits never came. He realized that 60 employees only increased his costs and delayed his decision-making. So when he started Medvi, he built it differently. Medvi has two platforms - CareValidate and OpenLoop Health. They handle the doctors, prescriptions, pharmacies, shipping, and compliance. Gallagher manages the customer relationship. He built the website, ran the ads, and took customer calls on his personal cell (initially). His AI stack did the rest: • ChatGPT, Claude, and Grok wrote the code • Midjourney and Runway built the ads • ElevenLabs handled voice • Custom agents connected everything together What's striking is that none of his tools are exclusive or hard to access. Anyone can sign up for them today. But it wasn't completely smooth. The AI chatbot hallucinated fake prices in the early days, and he honored all of them. But GLP-1 was just the beginning. Men's health launched in February 2026 and pulled 50,000 customers in the first month alone. GLP-1 aligned, chef-made meal delivery went live last month, and Women's health, hair, and skincare are next. Sam Altman has been predicting the first 1-person billion-dollar company for years. Nobody expected it to arrive this fast or look like this. This is the new playbook: lean teams, rented infrastructure, AI doing the work of 50 people, and one sharp operator owning the outcome. The only competitive advantage now is knowing your customer better and reaching them faster than anyone else. We are right at the beginning of something extraordinary, and this is only going to accelerate from here. Medvi and Matthew, welcome to the Lean AI Leaderboard. The Lean AI era is officially here, and what excites me most is what it means for the next generation of founders. The tools are accessible, and the playbook is now public. There has never been a better time to build something extraordinary with almost nothing.






@StoryTrading Very true. And above all, it's about China.
1) Who do you think The US’s 🇺🇸 war in Iran 🇮🇷 is actually against??? 2) Given that… What do you see as the US’s 🇺🇸 #1 & #2 greatest sources of leverage in this Grand War ⚔️??? 3) Are those 2 sources of leverage somehow connected 🪢 to 1 another??? 4) Given that, why might the Strait of Hormuz 🚢 be the most critical front of this Grand War⚔️??? 5) Finally… Why might that mean that this conflict likely won’t (actually) be "very complete, pretty much," for many years??? 🤷♂️ #🥐RUMBS. . . . . . . . . . .
