Technology which started as science fiction saves 1.8m lives per year and has created $55 trillion in value. Tell your story. Make it reality. Fiction is the future.

Founders, the secret to creating memorable events: make your guests feel like kids again. This can be done as easily and cheaply as hiring a good magician… Through to creating a real life version of GTA. Thank you to the state of Texas for letting my GP2 car on the highway 🫡

When I think of @sahin two words come to mind: 'prolific' & 'speed'. He built 9 companies. Invested in 180. Built & sold a company in 18 months without an in-person meet. In a world where speed is increasingly critical - Sahin wins. ps there is no way that IQ test was correct
sequel@joinsequel

'I took the IQ test as a kid. They pulled me aside and told me I'm an idiot.' From an IQ test score of 80 to multiple successful exits. @sahin has lived nine founder lives: four companies in Turkey, four in Silicon Valley, and now his ninth venture. From doing 1,000 meetings through Calendly to landing key partnerships remotely, this is a conversation about speed, risk, and the founder toolkit that makes the impossible feel normal. Here's what we spoke about: 01:15 First business at 12 03:12 Video games, coding, and first real company 06:53 The founder pain that led to his current company 08:21 AI, entrepreneurship everywhere, and a new kind of capitalism 17:33 History, welfare, and why wealth can become service 19:58 His philosophy on risk 22:48 Betting on remote work before everyone else 27:20 Remote can build $100M, but $100B needs proximity 35:08 Religion, meaning, abundance, and the future of life 40:42 Advice to his younger self, investing, and the IQ story

The future is here it’s just not evenly distributed. To give you an idea of: 1. The bubble that we live in 2. The huge opportunity that lies ahead ‘Only ~5% of Affiniti SMBs have actually spent money on AI products.’

what @pmarca is saying is actually so obviously true: think less, do more. if you possess some passable level of IQ, you’re already thinking enough and that’s sufficient world is run by doers, not thinkers. do more stuff.

MSM increasingly looking to new media to source the current thing, and the next thing.
Ronan@Ronanchamberss

Two weeks after launching @framer as a sponsor for @etnshow, our interview with their Founder gets featured in @NewYorker (7.9M followers). We had a discovery call, negotiations, contract drafted, signed, aligned on launch, CEO/Founder booked on the show, interviewed, clips from interview edited, sent to the team, and posted by us in less than 5 days. Looks like @chaykak organically picked up that interview and included it in this excellent piece in The New Yorker on the recent Taste in Tech discussions. For other enterprise brands having stand-ups to build slide decks to bring to meetings to discuss plans to discuss marketing strategies to circle back on.... Your competition is moving at lightning pace to get more exposure at 1/100th of the cost - organically.
