@PatBrown954 Anthony is so overrated, sell high

If things continue to go awful: Traded: Sonny Gray Aroldis Chapman Danny Coulombe Trevor Story (if theres takers) Jarren Duran Masataka Yoshida (if theres takers) Willing to Listen: Willson Contreras Ceddanne Rafaela Untouchable: Roman Anthony Marcelo Mayer Garrett Crochet Ranger Suarez Garrett Whitlock Wilyer Abreu Connelly Early Payton Tolle

@Camp4 Sure if thats your goal (old and lots of money), sounds boring to some. Owning a business is not easier or more lucrative always, but definitely more meaningful and exciting day to day

My college roommate, Chris, has worked for the same company his entire career. For 34 years, he’s punched the clock, lived below his means, and plowed savings into index funds. If I told you Chris’ net worth, you wouldn’t believe the number. 🛩️ He’s in the PJ class—and he took zero risk to get there. People on this app glamorize entrepreneurship and belittle 9-to-5 jobs, but remember: 1) There’s massive survivorship bias. You only hear from the 1% who made it, not the 99% who crashed and burned. 2) Most of the loudmouths here aren’t as successful as they portray. (It’s especially true if they’re selling courses and advice.) For the the vast majority of us, the surest path to success is to be like Chris: 📈 Do ordinary things extraordinarily well for a long period of time. Discipline and consistency compound. The problem is, most people give up before the returns go exponential.

@eRtwngr @ColinKeane_ And bello

@ColinKeane_ He was on fire at the WBC. Then he lost it. Same with Duran and Abreu. What gives?

Red Sox fans, are you concerned about Roman Anthony? .209 BA 1 HR

Roman Anthony is overrated. If he batted 9th since day 1, we'd have more wins. #redsox

@BradleyGrinnen Thank you for your positivity. I'm with you!

IMAGINE with me... Mayer and Anthony heat up and reach their potential. Contreras and Abreu and Ceddy are doing what they've been doing. And May rolls around and the .800 OPS Trevor shows up.

@nicktyrell Go cry about it. You probably still talk about the mookie trade too

So the Red Sox made the wildly unpopular decision to trade Raffy Devers, got this guy as the main piece, then decided they couldn’t wait more than half of a season for him to figure things out and traded him for Caleb Durbin. Now Durbin is batting .169 and Harrison is ballin out but sure Alex Cora’s the problem

@CollinJHumphrey How many guys do you have and where do your leads come from? Thanks! And good luck 👍

Can only post 4 here, but we’ve got 5 more shower and bathroom projects lined up and more coming soon. A lot of bathrooms about to get a second chance. We love turning old problems into spaces people enjoy every day. Follow along for ideas, transformations, and real remodeling done right. & fun of course.

@msmiapaulus @mattressguy_ ACH fees cost 1% on QuickBooks, which everyone uses.

I don’t think you should charge for ACH because the fees are like five dollars a transaction and when they charge me a percentage or $25 I feel price gouged, knowing how much it really costs. Plus you should want to encourage people to use ACH instead of check because you get paid faster and less collection effort As far as credit card fees I think it’s now industry norm and everyone’s doing it so I started doing it too.

Is everyone doing this? I’ve been told to do this but haven’t so far

@CollinJHumphrey Which of these were you not planning on doing anyway? This looks more like we are not done yet than punchlist items

Love a client’s minor checklist… one week before we finish up. 😂 Right when you thought you were in the 4th quarter, they hand you a whole new playbook. It used to bother me a little, but I’ve learned every client is different. Some just need a little more reassurance, attention, and hand holding than others. Part of the job isn’t just remodeling… it’s reading people, and figuring out what each one needs to feel taken care of.

@Jake_Mintz Lol what a useless tweet

[Summarized] Me: You talk about blocking out the noise. Have you seen the noise get to this group at all so far this year? Cora: You gotta ask them, but I know it's loud. Me: What's your role in protecting them from that? Cora: The same since 2017 Me: Which is? Cora: My job.

Alex Cora out in Boston. Something seemed amiss yesterday when I went up to Baltimore to see the Sox. Cora was 45 mins late to talk to the media pre-game with no real explanation or apology. Was notably snippy and on edge with us during that conversation.

@BrightSideSox @CraigBreslow Caleb Durbin and Alex Bregman both have 10rbis - really nothing to see here

Surely it’s pure coincidence that the Cubs become one of the best offenses in baseball after this guy shows up. Thank you so much @CraigBreslow for having absolutely no appreciation for how much veterans like AB matter in a young clubhouse. You freaking cyborg.

@CBSBrenton Finally someone says it, 100% agree

I’m not really sure why Roman Anthony isn’t held to the same standard as other Boston athletes. This guy was at Loco on a Monday night then proceeded to go 0-3.Cup of coffee in the big leagues and we’re supposed to say whatever because of projections for his career? Horrible look

@ToddLlewellyn Passive income 😉

Tenant at my rental property decided to do some work on the house herself. That’s not allowed in our rental contract. In the process she puncture a hole in the pipe that goes up to the shower head. Now we have a bunch of water damage.

@NDiamondMedia You forgot having Roman Anthony is a #9 hitter, not lead off.

Issues with the Boston Red Sox so far in 2026: • The offense is pathetic and untalented • Garrett Crochet has completely lost it • The bullpen is missing a quality right handed arm • Connelly Early is somehow the best starting pitcher on the team • NESN has the worst quality broadcast in professional sports • The announcers are as dull as a doorknob Positives with the Boston Red Sox so far in ’26: • The cooler cup craze

@noahiglerSEO I pay 2k a month for SEO, is that normal?

The difference between a $1M service business and a $4M service business is almost never the quality of their work. I've worked with enough of both to see the pattern clearly. The $1M company and the $4M company usually do the same quality job. Sometimes the smaller one is actually better at the trade. The gap is in how they get found and how they handle leads once they come in. The $1M company gets most of their work from referrals and maybe a few calls from Google here and there. The owner is the best technician in the business but spends zero time thinking about how new customers find them. Their GBP has 60 reviews and hasn't been touched since they set it up. They've never tracked where a single lead came from. The $4M company isn't doing anything revolutionary either. But they have 200+ reviews coming in consistently every month. Their GBP is fully built out. Their website has service pages and location pages that rank for dozens of keywords. They have a system for following up on every missed call within minutes. They know exactly which channels are driving revenue and they put more money into the ones that work. None of that has anything to do with how well they install an AC unit or fix a pipe. The $1M owner usually thinks the $4M company is just "better connected" or "got lucky" or "has been around longer." Sometimes that's partially true. But most of the time the $4M company just figured out the distribution side earlier. The hardest part about this for a lot of owners to hear is that being great at your trade doesn't automatically grow your business past a certain point. Referrals will get you to $1M or maybe $2M if you've been around long enough. But referrals plateau. They're unpredictable... you can't scale quickly them on purpose. The businesses that push past that ceiling are the ones that build a system where new customers find them every single day whether they got a referral that week or not. That's usually local search results.

@KevKYan @scaling_shields No I believe him, it's 51k a month, not 50k, so it's real obv

@scaling_shields Things that never happened for 1000 🤦‍♂️ But buy my course pls

met a guy making $51,000/month by scraping reddit for the phrase "anyone got recommendations for" and emailing the posters within 2 hours not joking he opens reddit every morning runs a search on 8 subreddits in his niche finds people who just publicly asked for exactly what he sells and emails them while the post is still on the front page reply rate: 23% average cold email: 0.3% his is 76x higher because these people literally just raised their hand in public saying "please take my money" heres the exact phrases he searches every morning: "anyone got recommendations for [service]" "alternative to [competitor]" "looking for a good [service]" "got burned by [company], where do i go now" "has anyone used [company] — are they worth it" every one of these is a public declaration of buying intent with a timestamp on it someone posted this 4 hours ago in r/[niche]: "I need [service] urgently. Budget is $15K. Prefer someone who actually knows what theyre doing and isnt sketchy" he saw the post at 9am pulled the username cross referenced linkedin found the email sent this at 10am: "hey [name], saw your post in r/[sub] about needing [service] urgently. we do exactly that — last client we booked 34 qualified calls in a month. free 15 min call?" reply at 10:11am call at 2pm signed $15K contract by 4pm 7 hours from public reddit post to signed deal from reading reddit in the morning this is the process: step 1: find the 5-10 subreddits where your buyers hang out step 2: run searches for "recommendation" "alternative to" "looking for" "anyone use" in those subreddits every morning step 3: filter for posts under 4 hours old with clear buying intent step 4: pull the username → cross reference linkedin → find their email step 5: send a 2 line email referencing their EXACT post step 6: warm call every positive reply within 30 minutes thats it last month: - 187 reddit posts scraped - 164 emails found (90% find rate) - 38 positive replies - 24 booked calls - 11 closes - $4,600 average deal - $50,600 in revenue from reading reddit while eating breakfast heres why this layers perfectly on top of a normal cold email system: your main campaigns are emailing 4,500 cold leads a day building pipeline at scale reddit is a surgical strike on top of that the guy on reddit literally JUST declared their problem hours ago the declaration is the qualifier theres no discovering pain points they posted the problem you showed up with the solution the sales conversation is already 90% done before the call starts its the highest intent cold email you can send because it might not even feel cold they had the problem at 9am you showed up at 10am thats not a cold email thats a well timed introduction and heres the part that should make every cold emailer sick: every single person on this app is scraping apollo fighting over the same 50 million contacts meanwhile reddit has 500 million monthly users posting their exact buying requests in public timestamped organised by niche completely uncontested free nobody in cold email is scraping reddit because nobody thinks of reddit as a lead source they think of it as a place to post memes while angry buyers are literally typing their credit card out loud every single day one of the most profitable lead source on the internet has been sitting there for 15 years organising itself timestamping itself qualifying itself telling you their budget telling you their pain telling you what they just got burned by and agency owners are still writing "hey firstname hope this finds you well" to marketing directors on apollo go open reddit search one of those phrases in a subreddit in your niche youll find 10 hand raisers before your coffee gets cold simples p.s. if youre an agency owner with a proven offer and want us to setup a cold email system that books you 10-30 calls per month - DM me "EMAIL" (you ONLY pay for qualified calls actually booked onto your calendar)

@HankFrank Best of luck, rooting for ya!

For anyone wondering why I’m approaching this the way I am, a lot of it comes from what happened to me in 2023. I started running in 2020 when Covid shut the gyms down. I was a powerlifter. When gyms reopened, I kept running on the side, maybe 10-20 miles a week. In late 2021 I decided I wanted to run a marathon as a bucket-list thing. I signed up for Boston 2022 through a charity close to me, raised over $10,000, and finished in 3:30:28. I thought I’d be one and done. But that race changed something. I wanted to come back and qualify on my own. In 2023 I signed up for a marathon in May to go after a BQ. Training was going well. Four weeks out, I was on an easy morning run and had to call an Uber five minutes from my apartment because my foot hurt so bad I couldn’t walk. Grade 3 stress fracture in my left second toe. Out 13 weeks. DNS. I signed up for another marathon that October. Great training cycle. Four weeks out, pain in my hip. Went back to my doctor. Grade 1 stress fracture in my left femoral neck. Out 9 weeks. DNS. After the second one, my doctor had me get a DEXA scan. Osteoporosis. At 28 years old. So in one year I trained for two marathons and made it to the start line of zero. In May 2024 I finally made it back and ran my second marathon in 2:55:04. It was a BQ, but I knew it probably wouldn’t be enough for Boston 2025. So I signed up for another marathon that September and ran 2:51:54, which put me 1:15 under the eventual cutoff. Then I ran 2:47:27 at Boston in 2025. I’ve signed up for 7 marathons total and missed 2 start lines. This build means a lot to me. I’ve put months of work into it and I’m in the best shape of my life. But I’ve also had two races taken from me late in training because I didn’t get answers soon enough. With my bone density, I don’t get to just hope for the best when something feels off. That’s why I’m getting the MRI today.

@BrandonUhl @MayerIsKing Masa is good, not hot

@MayerIsKing Masa is hot got to play him in left.

Trevor Story needs a break. Would love to see the infield look like this for Game 1 against the Brewers: 1B: Willson Contreras 2B: Andrew Monasterio SS: Marcelo Mayer 3B: Caleb Durbin Give Story a break, let Mayer play SS, and let the former Brewers play

@LeaderOfJets @stoolsalesguy The issue is there are a lot of Yankee fans in CT, therefore CT is #6 on the list of New England states.

@StocksRus007 @stoolsalesguy There’s Boston fans in Rhode Island, Vermont, Maine, New Hampshire and CT. Whats the issue

Ranking the New England states 1. Massachusetts (Boston, Berkshires, Nantucket, The Cape) 2. Vermont (Northeast Kingdom, Snowmobiling, Skiing) 3. Rhode Island (Newport, Block island) 4. Maine (Skiing, Bar Harbor, Portland, Saco River) 5. New Hampshire (Just go to Vermont) 6. Connecticut (Kick them out the league)

@LeaderOfJets @stoolsalesguy Well yes, Boston is in Massachusetts

@StocksRus007 @stoolsalesguy There’s Boston fans in Mass and they still come in a 1 so that argument is void
