Day 1! Come say hi if you are in NYC this week! 🏇

I'm hiring an idea officer. You'll be my research and writing sparring partner for the next version of highagency․com If this is you, please apply: • You're the Laird Hamilton of surfing the internet for hidden ideas • Have read "Day You Became a better writer" by Scott Adams 10x • Would not stop writing if someone paid you $100m • Hunt out new perspectives like a cocaine addict seeking their next hit • Spot niche ideas before anyone in your friend group does • A disgustingly high quality bar that you somehow manage to Fosbury Flop over. • Willing to debate with me for multiple hours about the structure of a sentence, and call it "fun". • Think like a Chief Meme Officer. Create your own language + words regularly. • Want to develop a relationship for 40-50 years. I want to produce the best work of non-fiction of the decade. You will be working with me on researching ideas, stories and memes, as well as editing my writing. I'm looking for a wingman or wingwomen that can brag to their grandkids about the Lindy thing they worked on! It will be fun. DM me 3 bullets: 1. A high agency story you love. 2. A criminally underrated book, article or YouTube video. 3. Any writing or editing you've done previously.

@PabloMotoa LFG 🚀

I don’t talk about my other business much here… but it just hit 500k followers on IG in under a year. we celebrated with cake!

@WouterTeunissen wait until you see their margins

TIL: The London Stock Exchange Makes 10 Billion a year in revenue.... wtf?

@ShaanVP envy is a map

I used to think jealousy was a bad thing. like a sin. and tried to avoid it. But jealousy is a wedding crasher. it shows up uninvited. Recently, I started using jealousy to my advantage. Jealousy is an incredible signal. it tells me -- at a very primal. no logic level, what my subconscious wants. it's a heat signal for my taste. I don't 'obey' the signal. But I observe it and it helps me now.

@rohunvora consider what a normal person would do in your situation. write it down. ignore it. do the opposite.

@WouterTeunissen @tryramp Time is money. Save both.

Jeff Bezos on customer obsession: "You can not invent on behalf of customers unless you're willing to think long-term" This is one of the many reasons why @tryramp is winning. They spend 50%+ of their payroll on Research and Development.
