@ash_lmb Here for this :)

Fed up with not tweeting my thoughts and ideas afraid they won't get any engagement. From now on I'll share no matter the outcome. Sometimes I get almost no engagement, sometimes I go mega viral. The outcome shouldn't interfere with the process. Tweeting into the void is a muscle that I want to grow.

@andruyeung Lol to fundraising experts

LinkedIn titles that are anti-signals: — Web3 Founder — Aspiring Entrepreneur — Problem Solver — [Insert function here] Leader — Fundraising Expert — “Global Innovation Catalyst”

@ishverduzco @charliewrich @chasedownleads Charlie has been ripping lately :)

@charliewrich seeing your art on IG made my day today

@ishverduzco This is happening, but not very out in the open / publicly

instead of just hiring a head of social, more companies should hire heads of platforms "head of X" "head of LinkedIn" "head of tiktok" and have each person responsible for dominating on those platforms learn every growth hack, leverage employees w/ existing audiences on those platforms, and grow exponentially even if not full-time gigs, i'd rather have a platform expert who can dedicate 20 hours a week vs one person trying to juggle 6 accounts at once just pick the platform that will move the needle most for your biz (wherever your customers/audience is spending the most time)

@ej_bizz vba - talk about throwback!!! Havent touched that stuff since 2011. Good riddance 🤣

@jamierusso It’s crazy if you would’ve told me two years ago, I’d be using tools every day at run on custom python code I “wrote” - I would’ve thought you were insane. Before I was barely linking together excel vba and power automate that would break all the time

My favorite part of this new era is that you dont need to be technical to build something. For a long time, I suffered from a lot of FOMO since I wasnt an engineer/designer/marketer/you name it. I’ve always been a jack of all trades, master of none. Maybe a generalist/operator… maybe something else, I don’t know. But we’re now entering a time where being a generalist is no longer a bad thing. If you’re willing to tinker and learn, you can pick up new skills at 10x the speed you previously could. Full-stack devs are now Fuller-stack devs. Strong ICs are now Super ICs. The “10X” idea now applies to any role: - 10X engineer - 10X designer - 10X marketer - 10X operator - 10X investor You dont need to be everything to everyone all at once. But you can be dangerous enough in half a dozen domains to blow everyone’s doors off.

@ej_bizz i think generalists have always been good at connecting dots between different domains, but now we can actually execute on those connections instead of just having the ideas LOL

@jamierusso Yes totally relate! I feel like I have access to all these skills I wish I had and now being a generalist/operator is actually a specialty edge

@andruyeung Lol is this a real thing?

I might have you beat.

@packyM Thank you Packy! The world needs more optimists right now. That’s how we got to where we are from 100, 500, and 10,000 years ago. More of this 👏🏽

It is time for a Renaissance. This weekend, Ilya Sutskever gave a commencement speech in which he said that AI will do everything humans can do, because we all have brains, and the brain is a biological computer. This is the left-brain thinking McGilchrist warned about. We're living through "Late Stage Left-Brainism": a world obsessed with metrics over meaning, efficiency over beauty. Many believe that AI will replace us. That is deeply uninspiring, uncreative, and most likely wrong. Our world mirrors pre-Renaissance conditions: failing institutions, concentrated wealth, people starved for meaning and beauty. Back then, merchant families like the Medici filled the void through "Magnificenza" - grand public works that aligned private wealth with collective good. I think we're headed towards a world in which modern Medici fund Magnificenza: big, beautiful projects for the public good. Billionaires will support Guys who use AI + their human energy, brains, and agency to build monuments and libraries, to fund novel research, to create new cities, and to express the world they want to see through their work. It's happening already, and it's growing. The choice is ours: AI world or human flourishing. Left-brain or right-brain. Machine or magnificent. Choose magnificent.

Looking for an event space for a 100-person panel + cocktail party. Would love your recs!

I miss the grit of NYC SF feels like it was designed by Dr. Seuss

@AlexAndBooks_ @OrwellNGoode Appreciate that Alex, you're a legend.

@andruyeung Haha is this even real?

This is the worst cold email I’ve ever received: P.S. That is Japanese, not Chinese.

One of the biggest mistakes first-time founders make: Over the last 2.5 years, there have been plenty of highs and lows as I’ve built / scaled Tweetjoy. At times, like when a client churns or my pipeline looks thin, it’s easy to get really stressed. But when I zoom out and see how many great things I’ve accomplished (milestones I hit & expectations I exceeded), I realize there’s so much more worth celebrating than worrying about. When building your first business, there’s a sense of paranoia that the whole thing could disappear tomorrow. Now that I'm a few years in, I realize that a bit of paranoia is healthy, but too much of it is unhealthy, and often misplaced. When I started TweetJoy, the goal was to rebuild my life with intention. Not only have I spent more meaningful time with my wife and son than I ever could working a 9-5, but I’ve also significantly increased my income and earning potential by designing a business around one thing I do well. Before Tweetjoy, I was a jack-of-all-trades and master of none. Now that I’m focused on one skill, the right clients seek me out. They hire me at a fraction of a full-time employee’s cost and gain from someone who’s worked with dozens of founders. I wouldn’t trade this journey for anything. Sure, I wish I’d started sooner, but every step brought me exactly to where I am today. I'm sharing this because if you’re scared, hesitant, or currently walking a similar path, remember that your journey (like mine) is 1000s of steps. Each step brings you closer to where you want to be. Celebrate the small wins and enjoy the moment. That’s what entrepreneurship is all about.

@rhobusiness Congrats. This is huge 🎊

🚨🚨 HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT CHECK OUR BIO 🚨🚨

@OzolinsJanis Nah you dude 💪🏽

@jamierusso ❤️ leading by example. cheers mate. you're a legend

I’m fairly certain that anyone can make it in life if they pick one thing, stick with it for ten years, and commit themselves to becoming excellent at it. It takes discipline. It takes courage. It takes resilience. But after ten years, people will take one look at you and your craft and think to themselves, “I admire/want to be surrounded by people like THAT.” You can be THAT person. The person that other people admire, simply because you didn’t quit.

@OzolinsJanis Love your story. So glad our paths intersected so long ago. Such a joy to watch your journey unfold in real time. Just the beginning :)

AI only cooks you if you have zero creativity or interest in being better. Don’t be weak.
