@Codie_Sanchez The best business people I've worked with describe what they do, not what they are. Clients trust someone who solves problems over someone who collects titles.

My dad always said he "sold marble and granite." He never used the words Entrepreneur, Founder, or Owner. There's a lesson there.

@QingTheCreator_ @OhJay_001 @Sir_Damilare @jessepollak @Bellickkruz @CryptoDefiLord @DefiDevrel @nElly_b2k @Ddeliveryguy @cz_binance Escrow solves the trust gap, but a clear scope of work document upfront prevents most of these disputes from starting. Hard to argue deliverables when they're defined in writing.

When it’s freelancer vs recruiter, the real issue is usually payment trust. Deadlines, refunds, “he said, she said”… it all comes down to money hanging in the air. That’s why the Judge said what she said: 👉🏽 Lock payments in escrow. 👉🏽 Protect both sides. 👉🏽 Keep the drama on the timeline, not in real life. @usebondrr only takes 2%, the rest is yours. So the next time you hire or deliver, make sure justice is already on your side.

@jasonjosephlee The insurance crisis is quietly reshaping California real estate. Properties that can't be insured become almost impossible to sell with conventional financing too.

2021: Insurance broker tells me my premium will renew at $1200. 2022: Insurance broker tells me my premium is going up to $1275. 2023: Insurance broker tells me my insurance provider is no longer willing to insure my property, because my property is in a "high fire zone." The only carrier that will insure will charge $2100. 2024: Insurance broker tells me that provider is now leaving California, and the only provider that will insure the property will charge me $3,200. **I switch insurance brokers** 2025: New insurance broker tells me there's no one that will insure the property. 2026: I'm done with this shit. The property is now for sale.

@marclou Having the LOI and APA built into the workflow is smart. Those documents set the boundaries that keep both sides honest through closing.

Building a complete startup acquisition marketplace: ✅ Startup listing ✅ Seller/Buyer chat ✅ LOI & APA flow (🌟) ⬜️ Escrow 🌟 NEW: Seller and buyer can now set up the legal documents required for a startup acquisition. The next step is Escrow for safe asset transfer. I have a call with them tonight to hopefully become an Escrow Partner!

@unusual_whales Smart move. When landlords feed data into the same algorithm, it functions like a handshake agreement without anyone sitting in the same room.

California has now banned algorithmic price fixing. The state has outlawed the practice of landlords colluding to raise prices using rental software and AI, per MorePerfectUnion.

@pmitu Every domain purchase feels like strategy. Every domain renewal feels like evidence of poor judgment.

Building is hard. Marketing is hard. Management is hard. But the hardest part is not buying a new domain.

@Kazanjy The gap between a verbal yes and a signed contract is where more deals die than anyone admits. Momentum is a legal asset.

Founders: Post-verbal agreement, maintain momentum: - Send contract same day - Schedule kick-off call - Intro to implementation team Treat 'yes' as the starting line, not the finish line. Speed reduces deal risk.

@kritikakodes A 6 AM email to 30,000 people isn't a workforce reduction. It's a press release disguised as a pink slip.

"ORACLE fired 30k employees via 6 AM email" ​Larry Ellison is the 3rd richest guy on Earth. ​And Oracle is not a struggling company, they made most money than ever. ​Despite that, 30k people lost their jobs. ​They told you to code, you did. They told you to upskill, you did. They told you to learn AI, you did. ​And then they replaced you with the same system you helped them build.

@shabnam_774 The best line from that lecture is still the simplest one: competition means no profits for anybody. Most people hear it, nod, and then go right back to competing.

🚨 In 2014, a Stanford lecture explained business competition better than most 2-year MBAs ever could. Almost no one talks about it. It came from Peter Thiel and instead of repeating textbook ideas, he flipped how we think about competition. Watching it changes your perspective instantly. He argues that competition is for losers. When you’re competing, you’re fighting for margins, attention, and survival. The real goal isn’t to win in a crowded market it’s to build something so unique that you don’t have to compete at all. He also breaks down why monopolies drive real value. The best companies don’t play the same game they create their own. That’s where long-term profits and dominance come from. And the biggest shift? Stop asking “how do I beat others?” Start asking “what can I build that no one else can?” That’s why this Stanford University lecture still stands out. Because while most people are chasing competition… Very few are building something truly different.

@MediaKing Real estate teaches expensive lessons, but at least you walk away with a story and a deed. Index funds just quietly outperform you in silence.

Do not bet against the S&P 500! I did a $1.7M real estate deal and put money in 16, 19, and 21. The deal went sideways due to Covid (hotels) and now my investment is worth like $2.1M. If I had just stuck it in the S&P 500 it would be worth more than $5M.

@SJosephBurns This is exactly how good contracts get written. Before drafting anything, figure out every way the deal could fall apart. Then write around the wreckage.

Charlie Munger: "One of my favorite tricks is the inversion process." "If somebody hired me to fix India, I would immediately say, 'What could I do if I really wanted to hurt India?' I'd figure out all the things that could most easily hurt India — and then I'd figure out how to avoid them." "It works better frequently to invert the problem."

@Art0fLife_ In my experience, the people most upset by consequences are the ones who thought they'd never face any.

He explains why you should never trust someone who gets mad at your reaction to their behaviour.

@WolfofX Already understating disappointment with perfect composure at five. She's going to be excellent in depositions.

@KevinSzabo14 Every great referral I've ever received started as a conversation where I wasn't selling anything.

Solving problems pay your bills. But relationships will make you rich. Go heavy on real networking.

@BigBrainBizness Sales cures all. Contracts preserve the cure.

Mark Cuban's advice to every first-time founder: "Sales cures all."
