@emtalas love this

bring whimsy back - buy flowers for your neighbour for no reason - take a different route home (even if it takes longer) - leave notes on your friends' desks - wear outfits that make no practical sense - bake with no instructions - plan a picnic - start collecting something - sit on the floor - build things that don’t need to scale

@tuhinone this is awesome

@arlanr @nozomioai sheesh

i’m actually impressed that twitter engagement farming has convinced some of you to become genuinely retarded. couple clarifications. nia by @nozomioai makes me 7 figures in recurring revenue, and we’re actively working on it with multiple releases planned. folk by @nozomioai is a SIDE project i built in 2 days after finding a very unique insight about the market that doesn’t even apply to twitter, so i don’t really gaf about marketing it here. my team is just so goated that we can easily produce any kind of video any day. folk is powered by nia’s API, so there’s a very clear way to experiment with how context can be applied across different domains. i didn’t expect it to make me more money in 6 days than nia did in its first 3 months, so why not experiment further? so all the mfers saying i’m a scammer or that i pivoted to an openclaw wrapper can go fuck themselves 🤣🤣 oh and i signed another contract.

@jestonlu @NotionHQ @ishverduzco @ASalyers3 @jamesjacoby_ insanely well done!

Life update: Joined @NotionHQ as the first storytelling intern in SF. So stoked to be working w @ishverduzco @asalyers3 @jamesjacoby_, huge moves ahead! Just the start 🫡

@lejeunesimon can we put this on some merch?

skip the cobalt, keep it simple 👌

if you're a founder based in nyc, we will help you raise your round + build your distribution john has 200k followers on youtube, 100k on instagram, 65k on linkedin > grew stan to $40M ARR who should we chat with?

@travisnguyen26 @shortscut cofounder launch vid was you guys? yall freaking cooked

@np92199219 damn scotia amex gold sounds interesting - how useful are scene+ points though?

@ansonlin WS privilege for business and USD purchases (2 percent cash) and Scotiabank Amex Gold for gas, grocery, and restaurant (3x,6x,5x).

currently using amex cobalt + wealthsimple infinite privilege is this the best credit card duo for canadians?

@ChrisMassotti top 2 but not 2

@ansonlin Yup, same here. Such a great pair!

@DickyMenard 5% on food/groceries + 2% on everything else

@ansonlin What’s the hack here?

@aaryandhingra_ top tier

@ansonlin I have the same combo and it’s the most elite Canadian combo

@kumar_amit rip amex

@ansonlin I go to Costco.😛

@DevinEsposito cobalt for applicable food/groceries, ws for everything else

@ansonlin what purchases are you making with your cobalt vs with your ws

@RyanJunejo ayyy

@ansonlin i emailed customer support after seeing this tweet and after 6 months i am finally off the waitlist for the infinite privilege🔥

@tuanle the goat

I found a trick to get multi-millionaires to pay me to become my mentors. Instead of asking for their time, I started filming their content. CEOs have everything except time to build their personal brand. So I show up with my camera, tell their story, make them go viral. While I'm filming, they talk. While they talk, I listen. While I listen, I learn. I got paid $500k last year to sit in rooms most people beg to enter. Stop chasing mentors. Start solving their problems. The education comes for free.

what are the best toronto coffee shops where you can sit for 3+ hours? must include lots of outlets

had claude scrap through all the comments and put them into a spreadsheet docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d… enjoy!

@jaegpark so true - i remember the feeling when i got my first ever gold card from koho

@ansonlin yes but if only cobalt was a metal card haha

@nikos1 ayyy

Hi tech twitter. I'm Nikos. I know this is a lot of text so feel free to just scroll past this. I'll probably just take this down later as I don't like sharing personal stuff too much. > at 13, 14, and 16 years old, I worked at my towns local ice cream store, and did horrible in school. Spent a lot of time fixing my english since I came from living in greece and then went directly into a French immersion school. > at 17 owned and operated one of the largest Ark Survival tribes w over 300 active members. I was super addicted to Ark. I somehow magically got into my local university after all the other ones I applied to rejected me. I never (I know everyone says this but like actually never) did any homework so all my grades came from me asking my friends for notes the hour before tests and somehow passing by on those grades. I also tried starting a drop shipping store but never launched. I tried trading stocks and put all my high school savings in, made some decent returns some how but had 0 idea what I was doing. > at 18 I graduated high school, and did some crypto stuff with a friend, we had a falling out and I remember he told me that I would never make it in life if I didn't work with him on this (lol). I begun university and in the summer something clicked, I was fed up with the way I was living decided to do something productive with my time. I got into the gym and started reading. I also worked as an AE for a friends company, which lead to him wanting to cofound, he would put up a few 100k in initial investment to have me run a crypto mining farm, I ended up not going forward with it. > at 19 I did GTM for my then gf now fiancee's wedding videography company, going from 3k in yearly revenue to ~100k in a year. I also founded a growth agency, cold calling my way to 8k/mo with no clue what I was doing, learning totally from youtube while living in rural Virgil, Ontario. I had clients in both the US and Canada and this was my first time getting exposed to running a business in whole. > at 20 bootstrapped a startup in the conversational intelligence space (think fathom on steroids for sales and cs teams), got into a bunch of accelerators. some really cool mentors, and really started to fall in love with learning, reading over 50 non-fiction books in that year. > at 21 we secured pilots and clients quickly over the span of 6 months, including a fortune 200! I also went to work my first summer internship at a robotics company building prefab housing components w @err_53 > at 22 we got acquired, after 4 months of back and fourth, by our largest whitelabeled customer after they raised a new round, I went to work there as VP Tech leading the eng org. Moved from small town Virgil to big city Toronto, 2 hours away, and also graduated university w first class honors. > at 23 was given the product org too, and we scaled to one of the largest players in AI Voice agents for the Canadian automotive niche. Also got engaged to @sarahfim! > Also at 23, left to start my own company again and moved to SF, met the wonderful people @composio, and now am an MTS heading up special projects! > at 24 ... tl;dr you can just do things regardless of where or when you start. so just go do them also below is my uncropped pfp, it's me w the shelbys shawarma guy

@ryancbriggs 💔

@ansonlin I think Costco isn’t listed as groceries, sadly
