Would love to see an #aiagent that can take meeting transcripts and summarize them using chatgpt4o based on specific prompts (sales, marketing, C Suite) and for diff industries (construction, SaaS, etc.) @dharmesh

@thomasince Already ordered this, it’s on its way.

@thomasince @MatznerJon @ShaunTiwari I’m interested to test how good businesses can be made great through better processes and AI handling a lot of the tedious and repetitive work.

@MatznerJon @ShaunTiwari I bet most businesses are not sellable, however many are. Lets say 50% are not sellable , still a big pie What I fear is that most good businesses will go to big funds, where I think there is merit for more to go to small business owners , searchers, independent sponsors.

Some say the Silver Tsunami is not real. I don't see how it is not real. Millennials own only 7% of all small businesses, less than previous generations when they were that age. ...tweet continued 🧵👇

@JeromySonne Love the running a cluster analysis to find similar zips of your best performing geos. Super smart.

@MrFamilyOffice What’s your favourite family office network?

Private Equity and Venture Capital beware: Family Offices are emerging as formidable contenders in direct investment deals This puts family offices in direct competition with PE and VC So why the shift? 💥 the family office sector is exploding, with more family offices, there is more capital to allocate 📈 direct investments offer potentially higher returns compared to traditional investments 💰 family offices hate fees. By avoiding investment managers and private equity funds, FOs can maximize returns 🌐 direct investments help diversify portfolios, reducing risk and increasing potential returns 🎮 direct investing allows for more control over investments and decision-making. Younger FOs in particular are more hands-on with investments 🤝 family office networks are improving giving FOs greater access to deal flow -- The implications as family offices embrace direct investing: • The market will become more competitive. With more capital available, founders will get better deals • FOs need to employ more investment specialists, pushing remuneration to levels comparable with PE/VC -- For more, follow along @MrFamilyOffice

@hammer_mt I used to have write a brief for my data science team then wait 1-4 weeks to get the same back.

Glad I spent all that time learning data science

Google's new quantum computer makes calculations that take rivals 47 years. It's 241 million times more powerful and is the key to unlocking the next generation of AI models. Here's what I found out:

@fortworthchris The founders of Shopify @harleyf and @DAVIDsTEA do this with Jewish entrepreneurs, it’s called Big Shot. The Izzy Sharp, founder of four seasons, ep is amazing.

There’s room in the market for a podcast that interviews business legends over 80 y/o. I’m sitting down soon with a legend who is 89. I have a good feeling this one will hit different.

Anybody looking to expand into Canada right now? Our partner 3PL has space for a couple more businesses right now and they are able to overnight to most major cities in Canada. Drop a comment and I'll connect you.

@MehtabKarta Acquired’s LVMH and Oorsche episodes. @TheRewatchables “this is the end.”

@jabbawy Great idea. Let the season be a winter and absorb the lessons fully.

I sold my company for $120M. There were many key people. Some positive forces. Others not so much. I still replay many moments. I'm launching a new type of podcast, exploring those moments w/ those key people. Season 1: Closure. Join my newsletter to be the first to know.

@awilkinson A rent-to-own option for the right family would be ideal. There’s an option in the lease that in 12,24,36 months the person can purchase the property at a fair market value, with a bit of a discount, with a % of the rent going to the purchase price.

One additional note: I don't necessarily need cash. I would accept company stock in exchange for the house, so long as your company is profitable :-)

I have a quandary for you, Twitter: Anyone on the market for a stunning house in Victoria BC? (Rent or Buy) A few years ago, I built my dream house. And now I need to eat some very humble pie. I made every mistake imaginable in terms of mismanaging costs, always choosing the nicest options, and over-building. The house is absurdly nice, gorgeously designed, and turnkey for a family, with tons of amenities. This would all be fine. It barely mattered at the time — I planned to stay in the house for a decade or more. But...then last year I got divorced. I ended up having to buy a new house for myself, then my ex ended up not wanting the house we'd built in the divorce. Now I'm sitting on this absolutely stunning house, and in this market it's worth far less than what I paid. So, here's my situation. I'd love creative ideas or leads for buyers/renters. These are the options I've thought of so far: - Sell it in a down market for a 40% loss (pros: simple, one and done, out of sight out of mind cons: no ability to write off the tax loss, feels F'd to take a hit like this) - Short-term rent on AirBnB (pros: may pay for itself cons: potentially choppy demand for a house this large + management headaches + investment in furnishing it) - Long-term rental (pros: simple, don't have to furnish, may pay for itself cons: most people renting a house like this could just buy their own) - What else am I missing? Movie shoots? House swaps? Rent it to a bunch of college kids? - Office rentals? I'm all ears. Would love some ideas, or, if you know someone who wants to buy or rent a ridiculous house in Victoria for a good deal, DM me. This is the house: andrearodman.com/work-3/oak-bay

@davidinnanen @moskov @thesamparr It’d have to be in the 6 min/mile range because you’d need 20-30 min to do the movements.

@aaronvidas @moskov @thesamparr what do you think his mile time was with a 20 pound vest? i have a tough time thinking he cranked out 2 six minute miles.... and you'd need a pretty strong mile time to have time for the rest....

Hey so this murph time by Zuck. He said he did it in 39 minutes. That’s a world class time. It’s causing too much controversy. We need to see this on film. Someone. Anyone. Please. Make him film it.

@thesamparr @AlexHormozi How he’d apply his principles to products priced in the $100K-$1m’s per year

Alex Hormozi (@AlexHormozi) coming on the pod this Monday. Anything you want covered?

@NeelBParekh Heat. Also, doI have a podcast for you…@therewatchables

What movie can you rewatch over and over again? If Gladiator is playing on TNT, I know what my plans are for the night.

@NeelBParekh Why is it there’s few National shredding companies?

Once one of these businesses gets to the 8th year, they might have thousands of pounds of paper that need to be destroyed and recycled. So, a big company like ProShred shows up on sight with a big shredding truck to do that.

Boring businesses are cash flow monsters. More boring = More cash Well, I found 5 of the most boring franchises ever. They are so boring you’ve never heard of them. Let’s go 👇👇

The future of entrepreneurship: 1) Creatorpreneurs (biz co-founded with creators) 2) Micropreneurs (biz with 10 employees or less) 3) Solopreneurs (solo biz) 4) Multipreneurs (company that makes multiple companies) VC not necessary Entrepreneurship is evolving.

@MehtabKarta I’ve never checked, are GS lug sizes fairly standard? I can see that GMT on a rubber strap being very cool.
