@FDavidsonT I’m curious if this is solving a need or trying to anticipate one? I think planning is where a lot of the joy of travel comes from. The process of discovering the place before being there is almost as much a part of the trip as the trip itself

We raised $6M led by Sequoia to build the future of travel. Watch me plan a perfect trip to Mexico City in 3 minutes. Flights, hotels and a full itinerary that matches my preferences. All bookable on the spot. Available today, free to use.

Do you know what's also funny? (most) people who've made a huge amount of money don't really care if you have a ton of money. If you're chasing money for status you're chasing the wrong target. It's like buying a cool car so women will talk to you, and it only attracts other men

ur startup doesnt have a growth problem it has a "nobody knows u exist" problem

if you think coding is difficult, wait until you try design

I’m busier than ever, with the help of AI. Building more, experimenting, rapidly iterating. I love it.

@aarondfrancis This is cool, but making it a subscription makes no sense. This should be a one time purchase if anything

Last quarter I rolled out Microsoft Copilot to 4,000 employees. $30 per seat per month. $1.4 million annually. I called it "digital transformation." The board loved that phrase. They approved it in eleven minutes. No one asked what it would actually do. Including me. I told everyone it would "10x productivity." That's not a real number. But it sounds like one. HR asked how we'd measure the 10x. I said we'd "leverage analytics dashboards." They stopped asking. Three months later I checked the usage reports. 47 people had opened it. 12 had used it more than once. One of them was me. I used it to summarize an email I could have read in 30 seconds. It took 45 seconds. Plus the time it took to fix the hallucinations. But I called it a "pilot success." Success means the pilot didn't visibly fail. The CFO asked about ROI. I showed him a graph. The graph went up and to the right. It measured "AI enablement." I made that metric up. He nodded approvingly. We're "AI-enabled" now. I don't know what that means. But it's in our investor deck. A senior developer asked why we didn't use Claude or ChatGPT. I said we needed "enterprise-grade security." He asked what that meant. I said "compliance." He asked which compliance. I said "all of them." He looked skeptical. I scheduled him for a "career development conversation." He stopped asking questions. Microsoft sent a case study team. They wanted to feature us as a success story. I told them we "saved 40,000 hours." I calculated that number by multiplying employees by a number I made up. They didn't verify it. They never do. Now we're on Microsoft's website. "Global enterprise achieves 40,000 hours of productivity gains with Copilot." The CEO shared it on LinkedIn. He got 3,000 likes. He's never used Copilot. None of the executives have. We have an exemption. "Strategic focus requires minimal digital distraction." I wrote that policy. The licenses renew next month. I'm requesting an expansion. 5,000 more seats. We haven't used the first 4,000. But this time we'll "drive adoption." Adoption means mandatory training. Training means a 45-minute webinar no one watches. But completion will be tracked. Completion is a metric. Metrics go in dashboards. Dashboards go in board presentations. Board presentations get me promoted. I'll be SVP by Q3. I still don't know what Copilot does. But I know what it's for. It's for showing we're "investing in AI." Investment means spending. Spending means commitment. Commitment means we're serious about the future. The future is whatever I say it is. As long as the graph goes up and to the right.

@IMJustinBrooke GCP

The VSL has been DETHRONED! Like you, I've used long form sales letters, VSLs, and webinars in my sales funnels for years. But just like one day the VSL beat the written sales letter, something has FINALLY curb-stomped the VSL. They're called GCPs. Which stands for "gradual commitment pages." Maybe the name sucks, but their results don't! The reason they convert higher is because of a psychological trick that hijacks the brain and inserts a marketing argument like a trojan horse. Like an advertorial the reader thinks they're reading just another article on the web. Their defenses are down. And then oops, too late. I've used these GCPs quietly for well over a decade, but I have a different business model now so I'm fine with sharing it. The first time I shared these at a millionaires mastermind in Las Vegas, the room fell silent when I shared the conversion numbers. They had LOTS of questions. If you want, I've got a Google Doc that explains the whole thing with examples. Shows you step-by-step how to design and write your first GCP (without the years of trial & error I had). Just comment "GCP" below and I'll DM you the document. ✌️❤️

funny how many big brains work in crypto and after 16 years the most successful application is: the dollar on a blockchain

people who want to start a company have almost nothing in common with people who want to run a company
