Woah this is good

So the humans are working for the robots...

X is great and I'm loving the content on here, especially versus my Midwit LinkedIn feed, but they got it CATASTROPHICALLY wrong on ad sales. Linda Yaccarino ran it like she was selling NBC in 2005. Chase the big logos. Disney. Coca-Cola. The blue chips. True story: I was at POSSIBLE in Miami and said hi to her, but she was too busy chasing down the big brand bigwigs. Not saying I'm important, but I do run an independent agency with $1bn+ in ad spend, and most of our clients care about performance and revenue, not whether some pressure group is upset. Here's what she somehow missed: no CMO at Disney or Coca-Cola needs the aggravation. What do they get for advertising on X? 2% of total ad inventory at best. And in return they get thousands of people campaigning against them, board members asking questions, millions of consumers complaining. The big brand CMO just turns it off. Zero upside, maximum drama. I'm not moralising here. I think X has saved free speech. I'm talking pure ad business strategy. The majority of Meta and Google ad revenue is from SMBs. They were built by making it easy for millions of smaller businesses to spend money and see results. That's where the real revenue is. X chased vanity instead of volume, and it cost them $. Maybe they don't care and that's cool too.

I'm RE-BUILDING my entire 1,000-person company to be AI-native. Not "using AI tools." Not "exploring AI opportunities." Rebuilding from the ground up. Every structure, every task, every operating system gets the same test: does it still make sense when AI can do 80% of it? Most of the time the answer is no. So we change it. Most companies will bolt AI onto their existing structure and call it transformation. But it's just decoration. We're asking a different question: if we designed the company today, knowing what AI can actually do, what would we build? And then building THAT. @ivanhzhao said it best: steel and steam didn't just change factories, they changed entire cities. AI and @NotionHQ is about to do the same to the knowledge economy. Is it hard? Yes. 16-hour days digging deep, learning and using the latest tools so I can tell the difference between what ACTUALLY works and what's just a talking point. Much harder at scale than as a startup (but still super fun!)

Decided to start posting on X again. Linkedin is a cesspit of nonsense.

@bengreenfield @dexcom Levels sticker and all dexcom alerts off/blocked works for me... If still beeping, maybe a re-usable cold pack - a.co/d/ey1ZnTS

Anytime I do a sauna session above 200F, my @dexcom G7 sensor fails and gives a low reading until sensor is replaced. You know....the beep beep beep alarm that wakes you at 2am.... So... ...Anybody know of a hack or insulatory material that could be placed over sensor so I don't have to replace sensor every time I sauna?

@dashboardlim Automate

I automated 90% of our agency's operations in under 12 months. Went from 80-hour weeks to just 35. Here's how I built a system that runs without us: 1/ As a founder, I didn't want to be stuck in the same loop anymore: - Working weekends - Answering Slack at midnight - Hiring more people just to stay afloat Then I stepped back and reengineered the entire operation. 2/ Over 18 months, I built a system that runs our agency like clockwork. It didn't just save time—It changed everything: - Cut 40+ hours/week of manual ops - Onboard clients in 60 seconds - Spot churn risks a month in advance - Scaled revenue 4X 3/ Here's what I automated: → Client comms with AI agents → Internal workflows across every service line → A real-time dashboard for tracking ops & revenue → Instant client onboarding flows → Predictive analytics for churn & upsells 4/ This isn't something I learned from just anywhere. It came from years of hands-on experience — trying, failing, optimizing. Now? My agency runs smoother than ever. I'm no longer the bottleneck. And you don't need to be either. 5/ I've packaged this into the complete automation blueprint for founders. - How to start automation - Core processes to automate - Worth $7,500+ in consulting fees But for the next 24 hours? I'm giving it away free. Want the founder’s automation blueprint FREE? 👉 RT+ Like & Comment "AUTOMATE" And I'll DM it to you. No opt-in, No BS (24 hours only)

Know what blows my mind? When marketing teams assume “content = blog posts.” Somewhere over the last few years, CMOs and marketers have been tricked by agencies into thinking content = blog posts. Huge mistake. Here are some other content types that drive ROI 🧵

WE DID IT! 🏆🥂 We’re incredibly proud to announce that we have been crowned Best Large Influencer Marketing Agency at the @theimawards.🥳 #IMA2022 #influencermarketingagency #awards

🤫 New #ceosecrets 🤫 I talked with @TimArmoo about his journey building and (now) selling @FanbytesHQ, part of a recent wave of advertising start-ups focused on influencer marketing bbc.in/3zcvQBK

Surreal to see my face on the homepage of the @BBCNews sharing the Fanbytes story from starting in university to acquisition 5 years afterwards. It's the most personal interview I've done covering boarding school all the way to representation in tech. Thank you @dougalshawBBC!

Grab a copy of @thetimes today and read some exclusive stories on Fanbytes👀👀 I talk about shaving my beard post acquisition, why we didn't raise VC and how we feel about being role models to a new generation of entrepreneurs 🚀 Thanks @jameshurley for the write up!

5 years ago, I started a marketing company with two of my friends. We were 21, 20, and 19 years old. Last week, we announced it'd been acquired for 8 figures. Here are 10 things I learned on our journey. If this helps at least one person, then it’s done its job.

The cats out the bag, we've just been acquired by the incredible Brainlabs 🔥🔥 From a 4th floor council estate flat to selling a big company at 27. Thanks to the Fanbytes team for being a part of this. This is a win for the culture 👑👑
