Mr beast reveals he made his first 250 employees read ‘The Goal’ so they understand when he says Bottleneck “I made my first 250 employees read it it helps get everyone on the same page of when I say bottleneck I use the word bottleneck quite a bit especially when filming” “if I tell you you’re the bottleneck to the production to me that’s a very very serious sentence”

My youngest friend (20) will take home $1M this year.
Have multiple buddies 22-29 who will make $1M-3M, all run marketing agencies.

Kevin O’Leary thinks the highest paying job right now is customer acquisition on social media “I used to pay those guys $48,000, now I’m paying them $250,000 because you can measure their work based on customer acquisition every week” “Most of them become contractors, they make half a million dollars a year because they know how to take content, turn it into a 59 second ad on social and acquire 200 customers” “Those people in their early 20’s are so valuable now. If you know how to use your phone, somebody wants to hire you”

@GeniusGTX We do this over at Omada.ai the people that end up partnering with us do it because they can't afford those salaries. Discount for those interested AUSTIN-J-5FD3

Kevin O'Leary just said the highest-paying job in America isn't in tech, finance, or medicine.
It's social media customer acquisition.
People who made $48,000 a year now command $250,000.
And most business owners still have no idea this role even exists:
O'Leary didn't frame this as a prediction. He framed it as what he would do tomorrow morning if he lost everything.
Walk into a business. Tell the owner you'll bring them paying customers through social media. Charge $100 per conversion. No salary negotiation. No resume. Just results and a phone.
The math is almost offensive in its simplicity. Four customers a day. That's $400. Over a month, that's $12,000. Over a year, working with multiple businesses, the ceiling disappears entirely.
This is where the story gets uncomfortable.
The people doing this work used to be the ones companies paid $48,000 a year to run their social accounts. Post the graphic. Schedule the tweet. Check the analytics dashboard nobody looked at.
Then something shifted. Businesses realized that the person who could actually make a stranger stop scrolling, watch a 30-second video, and buy something was worth more than most of their salaried employees combined.
The job title didn't change. The leverage did.
O'Leary put a number on it. The fastest wage growth in America right now isn't in AI engineering or healthcare. It's in creative storytelling that lowers customer acquisition costs. The people who can prove, week over week, that their content converts are now pulling $250,000.
Some are earning $600,000.
Stay with me on this one.
The reason this matters isn't the money. It's what it reveals about how businesses actually grow now.
Every company in the world has the same problem. They can build a product. They can hire a team. They can raise funding. But the one thing that kills most businesses isn't the product. It's the inability to get it in front of someone who will pay for it.
Customer acquisition is the bottleneck of the modern economy. And the people who can solve it with nothing but a phone and a good story just became the most valuable workers in the room.
Not engineers. Not consultants. Storytellers.
The surface story here is about salaries. What's underneath it is a complete rewiring of what the economy actually values.
Ten years ago, you'd tell a college student to learn to code. Five years ago, you'd tell them to learn data science. Today, O'Leary is telling them to learn how to make a stranger buy something through a screen.
The world changed. Most career advice hasn't caught up yet.
That's a wrap.
The ideas that explain how the world actually works rarely come from where people expect. Economics, psychology, history. The three lenses that make everything click.

We are ONE genius away.

@coreyganim No bs I already do this for omada.ai here's a discount code on top a 2 week free trial code: AUSTIN-J-5FD3

the AI version of what Kevin is describing:
1. pick a niche (dentists, gyms, med spas, roofers)
2. use Claude to research their competitors, audience, and top-performing content
3. build a content system that creates 30 days of short-form ads in one afternoon
4. run the ads. track customer acquisition weekly. show them the numbers.
5. charge $3-5K/mo per client because you're not selling "content," you're selling customers
Kevin says these people make $250-500K/yr doing this manually.
with AI handling the research, scripting, and repurposing, you can run 5-10 clients at once instead of 2-3.
same skill. 3x the capacity. no team needed.

Interesting thing about YC’s 2026 batch…
There are no blue collar builders.
Shocker.
Everyone is funding vertical AI agents in the trades but not built by the trades.

Thank you @adaptiveai for allowing me to build this agent. Months of work compressed to only a couple of days. Had to immediately upgrade after the free trial. If you want to build, there's no longer a moat. Go build something now!!
Adaptive@adaptiveai
We reviewed every submission for our $1,000 competition. This one took it. @chugarchugarr built a real BDR agent for their business: > Researches and qualifies prospects > Generates tailored outreach > Prepares pitch points based on customer needs > Custom dashboard to manage it all Not a demo. A system they’re actually using. $1,000 in credits coming your way. Appreciate everyone who submitted. More competitions soon.

Think bigger picture here. They attempted to shutdown early voting earlier this month. They need more reasons to take over local governments 👀
