Starting a CFO search, where should I be looking? 10M EBITDA, 200 employees, 3 states, 4 locations. Halp!

We spent hundreds of hours building Claude Code skills for our $7M ARR GTM agency (and we're giving them away for free) - ICP research - signal scoring - cold email writing - sales intelligence - campaign intelligence. These run inside every system we build for 70+ B2B clients. Reply "Claude Code" and I'll send you the Github repo with everything.

I've overseen go-to-market strategy for 200+ B2B companies. A majority of them were leaving millions in pipeline on the table.... By relying on 2-3 disconnected acquisition channels with no system tying them together. I mapped out the exact flywheel we use to cover every stage from traffic generation to retention. Comment "flywheel" and I'll DM it to you. (Must be following)

We do so well for pressure washing / gutter cleaning (via cold email) that I might just start and scale one to $50k/mo this year just to prove a point.. If you want my business plan, comment "Exterior" below and I will DM it to you.

Fool me three times, can’t get fooled again. We tried cold email marketing again for a 3rd time with zero results. 👍

@elonmusk why can’t we make a new list directly in “add/remove from list” on X? I should just be able to create a new list right from there…

Had a parent-teacher conference this morning My wife told me not to come I came anyway She said "please just listen and nod" I said "I always listen" She said "you listen like you're sitting in a boardroom looking for something to challenge" That's how listening works Nice classroom Small chairs I am 6'4" and was seated at a desk designed for someone who still believes in Santa Claus My knees touched my chest The teacher introduced herself Shared her identified pronouns I shared my identified adjectives Smart and handsome My wife closed her eyes The teacher had a folder Color-coded tabs I respected the organization She said our son is "a pleasure to have in class" My wife smiled I waited That sentence is never the whole report It's the executive summary before the risk section She said "however" There it is She said he "asks a lot of questions" I said "good" She said "during quiet time" I said "when is quiet time?" She said "it's when students are expected to work independently and in silence" I said "so he's the only one trying to get information and you've structured the environment to prevent it?" My wife put her hand on my arm I continued The teacher said he recently told another student that "sharing pencils doesn't make sense if nobody brings their own" I said "that's an accurate observation" My wife squeezed harder The teacher said she's concerned about his "resistance to group activities" I said "he's not resistant. He just doesn't see the value of doing more work for the same grade." The teacher said he also corrected her math on the whiteboard I said "was he right?" She paused She said "that's not the point" I said "it's a little bit the point" My wife stood up Sat back down Compromise The teacher pulled out an evaluation sheet Categories like "works well with others" and "follows directions" and "respects classroom norms" All subjective Not a number on the page I asked how these are graded She said "based on observation" I said "so one person's opinion with no second review?" She said "it's professional judgment" I said "my auditors say that too. Right before I disagree with them." She looked at my wife My wife said "I'm sorry about him" I said "I'm sitting right here" My wife said "I know" The teacher said overall he's a bright kid and she just wants to make sure he learns to "collaborate" I said "collaboration is important. But so is recognizing when you're the only one doing the work. He'll learn that again in college. And again in the real world. Might as well start now." Nobody spoke The teacher closed her folder She said "I think we've covered everything" I said "one more thing" She braced herself I said "his reading is above grade level. His math is strong. He asks hard questions and corrects mistakes when he sees them. I just want to make sure this school knows what it has." The teacher looked at me differently My wife looked at me differently I said "that's all" We left In the car my wife was quiet Then she said "he's turning into you" I said "is that a good thing?" She didn't answer From the backseat he said "dad, why does the teacher count off for asking questions? Isn't that the whole point of school?" I looked at my wife She looked out the window I said "yes. It is." He said "I don't think she likes when I'm right" I didn't say anything Neither did my wife Small chairs Color-coded tabs No follow-up items But the kid's going to be fine Sent from my iPhone

I charge $25,000+ to build these automations for agencies. Here are the first 10 we install every single time — for free. We've worked with 1,250+ marketing agencies. Our clients have added $500M in annual recurring revenue. Our 20 engineers log over 6,000 hours a month solving exactly one problem: agencies bleeding time on tasks a $20/month tool could handle. Most agency owners want to automate. They just don't know where to start — so they don't start. Meanwhile, their team is burning 20+ hours a week on work that shouldn't require a human. One example: data analysis alone costs the average agency 1 hour per client, per week. Multiply that across 15 clients and you've got two full workdays gone before anyone's opened a brief. I put together a free Doc called The 10 Agency Tasks We Automate First. Each task includes: → What the task is and what it currently replaces → How long the setup actually takes (most are under a session) → The exact tools behind each automation with real pricing ($20–$800/month depending on stack) → Why we use a 30-minute threshold to decide if something's worth automating → A prioritization framework so you know where to start with your specific agency → Entry-level cost breakdown — first five automations can run ~$100/month on tools you likely already have → The 6 tools our engineers rely on across these 10 automations (including the MCP solution we built — the first of its kind for agencies) → A clear view of what 20+ hours of recovered capacity actually looks like across a team You don't need a dev team. You don't need a big budget. You need the right list in the right order. Comment LINK and I'll send it directly. If we're not connected, add me first so it reaches you.

I replaced a $200K GTM hire with @openclaw 😱 here's the system that runs my outbound: step 1: mine LinkedIn engagement → @rapidapi scrapes everyone engaging with niche content → someone who commented on specific posts = 10x warmer step 2: enrich + verify → Hunter/Apollo finds the decision-maker + email → @Perplexity deep research pulls signals like hiring, fundraising, media appearances, quotes step 3: score against your ICP → title, company, signals = ranked 0-100 → only A-tier leads get touched step 4: write personalized outreach → Claude writes outreach referencing what they ACTUALLY engaged with and talk about step 5: send via @instantly_ai → 3-email sequence. automated follow-ups. step 6: pre-call deep research → @PerplexityComet builds a 1-page briefing 30 min before every call input: your ICP + niche keywords output: booked meetings with people who already care $200K/year GTM engineer → $130/month in APIs. I packaged the entire system as the First 1000 Kit: - all 8 @openclaw skills - every prompt - tool-by-tool setup - email sequences that convert giving it away free. comment 1000 + like + follow (must follow so i can DM)

I automated $500 UGC videos down to $5 each 🤯 So I built a Claude skill that handles the full pipeline (and now im open sourcing it) Kling 3 just dropped. you can lock a creator's face AND your product across unlimited generations (and they look awesome). Same person. Your product. Different hooks. Forever. But getting it to not look like AI slop is where most folks fail. One product in → photorealistic creator → identity locked → video rendered → 15 variants out. Here's how it works: → @NanoBanana generates creators with built-in imperfections (flyaways, skin texture, asymmetry) → @Kling_ai locks that face + your product screenshot → Design shots BEFORE script (sitting→sitting→sitting = boring) → Native lip-sync → Multiply hooks and formats automatically No creator hunting. No $500 invoices. No 5 day turnarounds. Here's what the skill includes: - Director-first pipeline (visuals before dialogue) - Photorealistic prompt formula - 6-character demographic roster - 4 "stealth checks" to catch fake-looking UGC - Kling prompting guide (think in shots, not keywords) - @fal API setup Built 100% in claude code. Want the skill for free? → Like this post → Comment "UGC" And I'll DM it to you (must be following)
