my top 5 favorite claude code 'thinking' words: 1. boondoggling (makes me laugh every time) 2. boogieing 3. garnishing 4. dilly-dallying 5. pontificating

@zuess05 Hammering warm leads, find ppl who engage with your content / competitor content and target them They’re already raising their hand

What is actually the most overpowered growth strategy right now? • cold dming 100 people a day • building a personal brand • cracking organic SEO • farming short-form UGC videos

@MartinGTobias Tryponcho.com Will generate better/more targeted leads 10/10 Ran a search for a roofing company: found contacts of home owners of homes older than 15 years old in path of severe weather Genuinely wild

what is the best tool for B2B leads you have used? messing with AI-Ark. Anyone tried?

@coreyganim What’s wild is that as long as you have the right start prompt to build the proper architecture, it’s really not that tough to build nor maintain Proper architecture tho is key

There's an AI business model that hasn't blown up yet but will be HUGE within a year: "Second Brain as a Service" Businesses need their company context organized so AI can effectively use it. Here's the play: 1. Charge 2-5K to build the knowledge base 2. Load their existing data 3. Create the schema/rules for how it gets organized 4. Charge $500-$1K/mo to maintain it 5 industries that desperately need this: 1. Agencies Build a client delivery brain: -past proposals -call transcripts -client notes -campaign reports -SOPs Skill/plugin idea: "Client Context Retriever" that pulls the right client history before calls, reports, and strategy work. 2. Coaches/consultants Build a content + offer brain: -frameworks -client questions -sales calls -testimonials -old posts Skill/plugin idea: "Offer Angle Finder" that turns repeated customer language into post ideas, emails, and sales assets. 3. Local service businesses Build an operations brain: -quote templates -customer FAQs -technician notes -intake forms -reviews Skill/plugin idea: "Quote Prep Assistant" that drafts the first version of a quote using the customer's request + company rules. 4. Ecommerce brands Build a customer/research brain: -reviews -support tickets -product specs -ad comments -competitor notes Skill/plugin idea: "Customer Voice Miner" that finds recurring objections, product issues, and ad angles. 5. Real estate teams Build a deal/context brain: -property notes -buyer preferences -neighborhood research -past messages -follow-up history Skill/plugin idea: "Deal Brief Generator" that prepares the agent before every showing or follow-up. The entire business model is making a company searchable, usable, and easier to operate with AI.

@omarvvvr do both - build in public

Which one do you prefer building first? - Audience - Product

@arthuryuzbashew reddit is a gold mine and if you deny it you're just ignorant

"reddit marketing is too niche" "B2C is saturated" "GEO with Reddit tool is dumb"

@wayojason ooo this sounds elite - maybe even a group outing to the Knicks parade??

"find me dentist offices in Austin, Texas that are running google ads but don't have online booking configured" result = 3 dentist offices in ATX are paying for google ads but don't have online booking (they only have general inquiry forms) low volume, crazy high quality this is the next era of targeted lead sourcing ❌ spray and pray = same lousy data sources ✅ hyper-focused buyer signals = solution to problem statements

convince me @DarioAmodei isn't actually King Candy from @wreckitralph dude escaped the internet to continue his pursuit of digital domination

I do loads of personal 1:1 sessions, I find it way more effective to teach directly, with hyper-personalized use cases and hand holding so the person I'm teaching is the one doing everything, I just help guide them Group settings have been good but it ends up being more informational and leaves the attendees still with a 'okay so now what' Less focused = they feel less equipped to apply it to their literal day to day and see immediate value

There is still a massive opportunity for someone to build an in-person educational format to teach people how to vibe code. I wonder why nobody is doing this.

@0xfJuan X crushes, LinkedIn also is a gold mine if you do it right

The best marketing channel for tech founders is X > the most smart money consumers > users are used to start up type products > most VCs are active on X > going viral is easy to crack > it's the best platform to connect with other founders change my mind

@galileowilson X & LinkedIn I think are the two that crush a lil one two combo

X is the best b2b platform to market your company on and it is not even close
