Gen Zs will realize it’s a much better pay off to pool a couple six figure salaries to start a VC fund that trying to intern their way up to associates and then having to leave and start a new firm anyway to become partners.

@codyschneiderxx TikTok makes B2C possible Problem is it’s not logic driven at all So most will fail

pro tip just dont build b2c

@ad0rnai They get cold feet Meanwhile Adam Neumann and Anthropic raise more money Storytelling is the move

what happened to all the startups posting about hiring storytellers last summer? did you end up hiring a storyteller? how did they transform your business?

@colmdotcom When you don’t need VC capital it’s way more fun

I’m sorry but consumer is a trillion times more fun than B2B

@zoessterling @SIGKITTEN Every startup that promises to make sales easier just hires sales guys

@SIGKITTEN every AI startup has a 'we're different' phase and then the salesforce guy arrives

Anthropic getting a lot of ex-Salesforce sales guys gives you a pretty good idea of what things are gonna look like

@ImAntCalabrese You never learn to sell. You learn to stop begging.

Realized this is the problem with solely investing Not being able to MAKE money and generate cash flow is bad Can't rely on assets and market trends In other words.. learn to sell

@lawrencekingyo The original Office writers recognized this and made Michael and Dwight straight killers in sales and dweebs in every other facet of social dynamics.

One of the biggest psyops in sales is that you need to be "Mr Personality" to make it When in reality being Mr Personality just comes off as cringe and desperate At my sales agency most of my HIGHEST paid guys are introverts with a monotone voice and very slow talkers

@salesxsaas I retardmaxxed to the point I can pretend that I have a process/framework. It’s liberating

Retardmaxxing is truly the way in sales Strategic spreadsheet types will forever get lapped by the midtwit Chad who has a propensity to ignore the noise, stick to basics & has a bias towards taking action over analysis.

@NodnarbsGuitar @MarkovMagnifico I care. Elaborate if you would

@benjamingreeley @MarkovMagnifico Its not a swarm heuristic, it uses a basic sort of the distance matrix, and obscure triangle principal. It produces a geometrically optimized tour path before it even has to add the tour length. It solves the shape, not the length. Anyway, nobody cares haha

it's honestly crazy the number of salespeople I've talked to who have a literal traveling salesman problem in their work and they're always saying, "There's no good software for this!"

@unfinishedaaron @PlayStationUK Neurodivergent fathers and sons 😢

@PlayStationUK Who on earth is the target market for this?

It was time for Thomas to leave. He had seen everything. You know the theme tune, Thomas & Friends: Wonders of Sodor is out now on PS5.

@ImAntCalabrese Naturally. It is the job after all.

Yaaaaaaaay Yaaaaaayyyyyyyyy Im empty

@AnnaLeptikon There was a great show Life After Humans that really drove this home

Somehow it was learning how many people are fulltime employed to maintain the Golden Gate Bridge that flipped something inside of me in my understanding of the entropic force civilization has to constantly fight against. Before that moment I thought — I had not applied real conscious thought — you simply build a building or anything really and then you just … have it. After that I understood everything is constantly at the brink of being lost.

@DPearsonPHL More med and ed?

Earlier this year Shapiro announced a ton of life sciences investments in the southeast. Glad to see one of them coming to actual Philadelphia. inquirer.com/health/terrapo…

I need to talk with power automate desktop experts. Ideally those who have ran cursor recording automations on non cloud/browser based (ie desktop software) GUIs.

@NodnarbsGuitar @MarkovMagnifico Swarm optimization is a heuristic inherently not solving it

@MarkovMagnifico I literally solved, like with a proof, this exact problem. In 2006. It's published. Nobody cares. I developed the solution by modeling honey bee behavior. If anyone cares, I ll share it.

@W0lfbrother23 @johnnymaga Quite the opposite in fact

@johnnymaga It's kind of ironic because Trump himself is a super WASP

Trump with a hilarious reaction after finding out Mike Johnson is Sicilian: “I didn’t know about your Italian roots. I thought he was a Super WASP… his image has changed a hell of a lot very quickly.” 😭

@FinancialPhys @StealthQE4 Yall haven’t done a reverse walk of shame?

@StealthQE4 Dating for men be like…

Men have just given up on dating. It’s just not worth it.

@BowTiedCocoon Minimizing downside caps upside A W2 does this both ways it seems

Cocoon Maxim #1: Companies spend millions optimizing their hiring process. They've gotten very good at filtering out risk. And very bad at finding talent.

@Cheat661540 @CaudilloNuclear Let go for a bit and just enjoy the moment

One of the most humanizing things I've ever done was date women. They constantly defeated my cynicism, only to leave a void where once hating them or loving them had filled the space. It was as if the message they were all trying to send me was: "Let go for a bit and just enjoy the moment."

@serialsales For cold callers mic is key

Weird thing nobody tells setters and closers: The ~$1,500 camera + mic + light setup is the highest-ROI purchase in your career. Not a course, coach, or community... People are over the moon about 9% return in a year by putting their money into the S&P Well what about a 100% return in 3x months by closing one extra deal @ $500/pop because you are seen as an authority? Plus your loom:internview:offer rate skyrockets because you LOOK the part Massively overlooked. Just wrote a longer email on this, will link below if you want to read

@Feezy_fitas @alpharivelino Hunting?

If you're a man, GET A SEXY HOBBY!!! Why? So you'll never be lonely again for the rest of your life. If you're already in a relationship? Sexy hobbies will prevent you from pedestalizing your partner. What is a sexy hobby? A concept @alpharivelino discovered. It's displaying a skill in front of others. These include: - Social dancing - Street portrait photography - Triathlete - Tennis - Golf instructor - Skiing/Snowboarding - Surfing - Beach volleyball - Public speaking - Slam poetry - Stand-up comedy - World traveler - City tour guide - Hiking tour guide - Rock climbing/mountaineering - Amateur chef hosting dinner parties - Learn/teach languages - Musician - Hunting Displaying a skill not all men can do requires COURAGE.
