This VP just joined my team. In her first 50 days, she’s added $100K value. She’s smart. She’s capable. But she’s done THIS one thing better than any hire: Onboarding. I asked her to compile every resource she used to onboard herself quickly. It’s the same guide she gives anyone who joins our team: success metrics that keep scale repeatable, the Qs new hires forget to ask, 30 60 90 day plans, etc. Over the past month, I’ve seen the difference. Right now, I’m giving away the guide away for free: Comment “GA” and I’ll DM it.

This quarter, I’ve closed multiple $1M+ without a slide deck. I’m using a single AI tool. Today, I want to share it, free. After signing, a prospect asked me how we created the site. They were so wow-ed they wanted it for their own clients. Here’s what floored them: it took a single designer 5 minutes to prompt and launch. The AI chains together 6 key parts of our sales process, turning a 18-page deck into a single, personalized website. When they asked, I gave them this template and workflow. Now I want to share it for free: Follow me + comment “GA” and I’ll DM it.

Apollo charges $100 for 4,000 LinkedIn enrichments Serper.(dev) charges $100 for 50,000-70,000 searches same job. 92-94% cheaper. 89% hit rate on executive profiles. everyone building outbound in 2026 is dramatically overpaying because they never questioned the defaults actual stack. pricing included. FINDING PEOPLE → Apollo — $79/mo. use it for the database and contact filters. do NOT use it for LinkedIn URL matching. that's where the credits disappear → Serper — use this for LinkedIn URL matching instead. $100 = 50-70K searches. Apollo as fallback for the 11% that don't match → theorg — completely free org charts with API. shows reporting lines, promotions, departures. LinkedIn shows none of this. almost nobody has it in their stack ENRICHING → Enrichly — $59/mo for 5,000 person enrichments. primary fallback when Apollo misses. → waterfall: Apollo → Enrichly → Anymail Finder → Findymail → manual. never one source. SIGNALS (mostly free) → Google News RSS — free. unlimited. real-time. go to Google News, search your query, add /rss to the URL. that's a live signal feed. replaced a $490/month monitoring tool → f5bot — free. email alerts when your keywords appear on Reddit. people write paragraphs about their problems on Reddit they'd never say to a salesperson → visualping — monitors any webpage for changes. hourly checks. set up 200 competitor pages and forget it RUNNING OUTREACH → HeyReach — $79/account/mo. cloud-based LinkedIn automation. dedicated IPs. 5-10% ban risk vs 23% for browser extensions. runs 24/7 without your laptop open → never send cold email from your main domain. one spam complaint tanks domain reputation entirely — website deliverability, brand, everything. deliveron: $49/mo, 100 Microsoft inboxes, warmup, rotation included full stack: under $500/month the gap isn't tools. it never was.

@pjlalah ❤️. Making it better for those ahead of you.

Let me tell you about the picture in Frame 1. In August 2017, as a litigation lawyer in Lagos, I had work to do that required me to be at the office during the weekend. There was only one problem that weekend. I had a 16 months old son, no nanny and no one to leave him with at home so I asked my boss if I could bring him with me and she was gracious enough to agree. While I was working, my son fell asleep and I had to lay him down on the floor beside my table. In that moment, I took a picture of him sleeping and made a promise to myself that if I ever had my own firm, at some point in that journey, no woman working with me who had a caregiver emergency and needs to be at work will have to lay her baby on the floor. That same day, I thought of my struggles as a breastfeeding mother in the workplace and promised again that no woman working with me who had a baby will ever have to struggle for a private space to use her breast pump at work, relieve her aching breast to focus and save some quality milk for her baby. Frame 2 Today, we finished the renovation of our office building complete with a nursing room. Litigation is tough for women. The firm should not make it tougher. Strichland LP has a nursing room and today, by the grace of God, I kept that promise. ❤️ #WomenInLitigation

@mnedoszytko @Anthropic @claudeai Genuinely, thank you for your work and contribution to a better future. Your context and the experiences you see are driving real change. Platform looks amazing. Bring it to New Zealand.

Thank you @anthropic for the award and recognition. I hope this hackathon will enable other builders that had their big idea in the back of their heads. The technological barrier between domain expertise and creating a working solution has never been smaller. @claudeai Code 1st Birthday & Hackathon showcase today in @SHACK15sf. Looking very much forward to meeting everyone!

@dagorenouf @compai Nice work. Agree. Inbound or outbound? SDR assisting?

Just hit $1M in sales for @compai exactly 6 months after I joined. Probably did ~600 demo calls so far. My takeaway is you shouldn't force people into a specific format for your call. Don't force them to listen to your demo. Don't force them to watch slides. Just listen and ask questions. The deal I closed yesterday, I didn't even show the guy the product. Just listened for 15 minutes, cared about what he wanted to do, and offered the solution. Boom he signed and paid. Fuck demos. Just connect with people, give a shit about them, and be brutally honest when they wonder about something. Don't sugar coat anything. Show your downsides as well. That's all you need to do.

@romanbuildsaas Sales nav friendly? Can it search with keywords and logic?

Today, we’re releasing Claude Code for outreach. It does a salesperson’s work in minutes by detecting buying signals, qualifying leads, and booking demos like a human would. You will never have to worry about booking demos… ever again:

@rossiadam This reminds me of the greatest joy I have. Our kids heading to our back yard and feeding themselves with berries, grapes, beans and the likes.

Don’t take on debt. Don’t owe anyone a favor. You will be so much happier.

@chuk_xyz I do wonder if there’s a case for earning rewards / loyalty with stable coin payments given the yield available. The mechanism for distributing is already there. Just airdrop to the consumer once a month.

My favorite part of this announcement is that it shifts the Visa/Mastercard debate to *card-present*, where stablecoin payments actually have a fighting chance. In e-commerce, chargebacks/disputes benefits give cards an advantage. At the physical checkout, the gap is smaller. In-person payments are closer to cash:  • the customer is there • the merchant can validate • the risk profile is different In that world, stablecoin payments don’t need to replicate every card-network superpower to be competitive The distribution is the headline: • Ingenico has ~40M terminals across 120+ countries • WalletConnect brings 700+ wallets plus $400B+ of activity in 2025 And the flow is simple: QR at the terminal → approve in wallet → stablecoin transfer Unlike “crypto cards” (still card rails), this is aiming for native stablecoin settlement at the checkout Two caveats: • Ingenico doesn’t flip the switch, acquirers/PSPs do. • And consumer habits are sticky: tap + rewards is a high bar, and QR is friction This doesn’t win the market by itself, but it lays groundwork for stablecoin acceptance at scale without new hardware. The big question still is demand: which use cases (travel, wallet driven rewards) show up first?

@Houlgrave Congrats great to see this partnership.

@rossiadam People don’t realise how significant life becomes when children enter your life. Sign up me sir 🫡

Please join me in fighting the Death Cult. If you have followed me for any amount of time, you have seen that I am a tireless advocate for young people getting married and having kids. I think it is one of the most important things I talk about on social media. Simply put, I want the human race to thrive and flourish. I want the USA to be strong. I want our society to constantly build toward a better future. And that requires kids. Without kids none of those things happen. I talk a lot about my marriage to Laila, which is the greatest decision I ever made in my life. I talk about my three kids endlessly. I talk about how much joy being a father brings me. People probably get sick of it. But I feel like I am a participant in a deadly serious battle. My enemy is the Death Cult. The Death Cult is what I call the loose alliance of people and programs and trends that are relentlessly trying to shrink the human population on planet Earth. The Death Cult is well-funded, and its members sit at the highest levels of government, business, media, and education. Is the Death Cult a group that disavows its mission and operates from the shadows? No, it is overt. They have been very straightforward in announcing their goals. Just listen to some of their quotes: 1) Paul R. Ehrlich (Biologist, Author: The Population Bomb) “We must have population control at home, hopefully through a system of incentives and penalties, but by compulsion if voluntary methods fail.” 2) Carl Sagan (Astronomer & Media Figure) “Our job is to bring about a worldwide demographic transition and flatten out that exponential curve…” 3) Maurice Strong (International Environmental Policymaker) “Either we reduce the world’s population voluntarily or nature will do this for us, but brutally.” 4) Jacques Cousteau (Explorer & Environmental Advocate) “In order to stabilize world population, we must eliminate 350,000 people per day. It is a horrible thing to say…” 5 ) Jane Goodall (Naturalist) “All these things we talk about wouldn’t be a problem if there was the size of population that there was 500 years ago.” [a population reduction of 95%!!!] If I had to pick a standard-bearer for the Death Cult, it would be media mogul Ted Turner. Here are just a few of his quotes on the topic of population reduction: “A total population of 250–300 million people, a 95% decline from present levels, would be ideal.” - Audubon Magazine, 1996 interview “Humans are a plague on the Earth.” - Time Magazine, 1996 “We’re too many people. That’s why we have global warming… We need population control.” - Interview remarks, late 1990s Ted even immortalized this draconian population reduction goal on the Georgia Guidestones, in which he inscribed as the first and primary directive to “MAINTAIN HUMANITY UNDER 500,000,000” If population reduction is the goal of the Death Cult, what is the motive? We would charitably say that the Death Cult wants to reduce the population because they are worried about the environment. It is obvious that as human populations increase, we impact natural spaces. A higher population leads to more land being cleared for agriculture and housing needs. I would argue that human progress has demonstrated an ability to dramatically increase crop yields and city density, and that first world countries like the United States are actually getting greener in terms of forest cover. Vegetation is increasing and emissions are trending downward even through our population is increasing. However, I am willing to give the benefit of the doubt that many members of the Death Cult are motivated by the environment and especially Climate Change. But I am not convinced that it is all of them. I believe that some members of the Death Cult have much more sinister motives. Some of the more obvious sinister reasons could include: 1) Resource Hoarding: The Death Cultists could more easily monopolize things like water, arable land, rare earth minerals, and pristine swaths of wilderness. 2) Control: A smaller population is easier to surveil and control. 3) Geopolitical Consolidation: Shrinking populations destabilize societies and governments, making them more vulnerable to direct or indirect domination. In my opinion it all comes down to power. The Death Cultists could be pushing their agenda of control for what they perceive to be a noble purpose (the environment) or for sinister purposes (one world government, resource hoarding, rent seeking). The only question is, could we tell the difference? In my estimation there is no difference. The policies they would pursue would be indistinguishable. So we must either take them at their word, or we should treat the Death Cult with deep suspicion. It should be obvious how I feel about it. In my experience with powerful people, they always want more power. More ways to dominate their fellow man. More say in how the lives of other people are conducted. And they know that if someone has to die to meet the population reduction goal, it wont be them. Their friends and family will remain unaffected and will benefit from it. If we have established that some powerful members of our society openly advocate for a radical reduction of the population, and they are motivated to do so, the most important question to ask is, how would they go about enacting their plan? Obviously advocating for large numbers of humans to die would not be politically acceptable. The fastest way to achieve global depopulation would be a world war. However, this could get uncomfortable for the Death Cultists. War is unpredictable! They want a depopulated planet, but they want to ensure they are in the 5% of the population that REMAINS ALIVE. A world war can get sticky and hard to control. It is the fastest option, but also the most unpredictable. So they Death Cultists are left with slower options, ones that will take generations and that will appear to be virtuous rather than sinister. The first thing that must be addressed is the birthrate. After all, it was improvements in things like child mortality that led to the surge in global population. Less kids gets you to the same place as a world war, it just takes a few generations to work. So obviously if your goal is to reduce the fertility rate, you would do a number of obvious things: 1) Make contraception and abortions free and ubiquitous, and de-stigmatized 2) Make childcare difficult and expensive 3) Encourage both parents to work outside of the house 4) Discourage marriage and family formation 5) Discourage religiosity (religious people tend to have higher numbers of children) 6) Glamorize childlessness on social media, music, TV 7) Foment racial, political, and ideological tensions to destabilize and distract society from family and children 8) Encourage a feeling of doom and hopelessness to discourage young people from wanting children or planning for the future 9) Degrade the population’s health and sex drive 10) Encourage societal isolation 11) Encourage young people to adopt lifestyles that prevent reproduction (LGBTQ+) 12) Emphasize career and materialism I won’t bother to include a series of graphs that demonstrate that these things are happening. They are all obviously happening. They all have been happening for decades. It’s quite a simple formula…if you can trick enough women to not have a first or second child, the work is done. And clearly we are seeing this work being carried out expeditiously, in every developed county. Birth rates are plunging. BTW: I think the most insidious weapon against birthrates is the instilling of a feeling of hopelessness that is so common amongst young people. So many now say, for example, that they don't want to bring children into a world that is overcome with climate change, even though this is the best time in human history to have kids. Birthrate is the primary driver, but there are of course other ways to affect population numbers. Anything that artificially constrains the basic needs of any living organism will “help”. This means: 1) Curtailing the amount of available shelter 2) Degrading the food and water supply 3) Reducing energy availability This would take the form of attacks on farmers, attacks on critical inputs for the economy such as fossil fuels, carbon taxes, and stopping new projects such as housing, transmission lines, pipelines, etc. through regulatory obstacles and public opposition. Clearly all of these things are also happening. We daily see the “Just Stop Oil” stooges advocate for the elimination of fossil fuels, which WOULD reduce the population of the planet by half in short order. They are happening, but they are too slow, and still opposed by too many people that have the ability to think rationally. No, the Death Cult must continue to focus on the kids. Kids are the key. And here is the incredibly dangerous calculus that I do not think the Death Cultists fully appreciate: Natural systems are very difficult to predict when they are taken out of equilibrium. What the Death Cultists envision as a gentle culling of the population could just as easily lead to the collapse of our entire civilization. Or another Dark Age. Or all-out nuclear war. Or the total elimination of humans on the planet Earth. What we know from history through is that as human populations decline, they reach a tipping point where forward progress is arrested and then violently reversed for generations. That tipping point is not something that can be predicted. Anyone advocating for radical curtailing of the human population is playing with the most deadly fire possible. They must not be allowed to conduct their experiment. ---- Look, I am just one guy trying to fight the Death Cult at the most important battleground: the battle over birthrates. So what am I doing? * I mentor and coach young people through scouting, sports, internships, and entrepreneurship. * I encourage marriage and advocate for putting kids before career * I share the joy I have found in life through marriage and family That’s it. I will keep talking about this on X. I will keep talking about it on podcasts. I will keep bringing it up in innumerable 1:1 conversations. I ask you to do the same.
