SEO is dead. People now trust ChatGPT more than Google. Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) is the new game. Here’s the exact prompt I use to make my brand show up in AI answers:

My boy @CraigWhoEls’ bet was R50 for me to have the first sense-of-humour failure. He won. #sunday #golf #jackalcreek @JackalCreekEst @CraigWhoEls

95% of burnout isn't from hard work. It's from $150K talent doing $15/hr tasks while pretending that's normal.

BREAKING: Trump announces a 100% tariff on countries backing alternatives to the U.S. dollar.

"I just saved $110K on my marketing team." A founder DMed me this last week. His secret? He stopped hiring in San Francisco. Most founders don't realize their marketing budget is bleeding out. Let me show you why. Your current US marketing costs: 1. Content manager: $85K + benefits 2. Social media: $55K + perks 3. Hidden costs: $40K That's $180K burned annually for a basic team. Here's what that same budget gets you: In the US: → 2 mid-level marketing hires → 9-5 coverage With us: → 5 senior marketers → 24/7 coverage Same budget. Here's the reality most founders miss: In Manila and Cape Town - $35K/year attracts: → Senior brand managers from Unilever → Growth leads from Shopee → Project managers from Standard Bank → Campaign directors from Ogilvy In the US? That barely covers an intern's stipend. But here's what matters most: Your $180K doesn't just build your team. It transforms lives. Like Grace in Manila - her decade at P&G means you get Fortune 500 expertise at startup prices. Her salary? It's putting her kids through university. Or Michael in Cape Town - ex-AWS marketing lead who chose remote work to stay close to family. He just bought his first home. That's not outsourcing. That's smart scaling. I’m thinking about creating a recruiting playbook for SA and the Philippines?

@ShaunEls Regression to the Mean

Keep your composure. As a founder, being too sensitive to the ups and downs in business will leave you burned out and resentful. So remember this: It won’t last. When times are good… It won’t last. When times are bad… It won’t last. Stay composed and keep going.

So far our gym has: 5 x Pro boxers 2 x Pro BJJ athletes 1 x Ex-National Champ boxing coach 1 x Ex-Olympian wrestling coach And multiple regional and national level wrestlers.

Subscribed to @ShaunEls' new resource writer.expert to see if the old boy's still got it - he does. I'm usually pretty skeptical about these daily mail products, but this one is genuine gold. The topics are perfect thought-starters to spark storytelling ideas. #content

I got my first testimonial the other day and totally forgot to brag about it! 😎

@Ldnbox @ShaunEls Kickstarting the creative juices is always the hardest part. Huge time saver if you're writing content

Last week, I signed up for @ShaunEls new daily email for writers and creators writer.expert and I must say it's superb. I've got some excellent topic ideas for new content and proven hooks that can be used as subject lines in emails. 💪
