Here's my latest interview with the founder of Writestack, Orel Zilberman The guy is a machine. All founders need to emulate him. Pick an idea. Work your a$$ off. Succeed. Must watch. open.substack.com/pub/thinkfutur…

You’re not unmotivated. You’re stationary. Action creates feedback. Feedback creates motivation. Stop waiting. Start moving. (thinkfuture) Link below

Influence used to mean perspective. Now it means promotion. When monetization becomes survival, trust becomes collateral damage. Post below:
