Real talk on @ShannonJean's podcast: ⇢ How to unlock more revenue (off-platform) ⇢ Website as a Service model ⇢ Why we’ll never go back to one-off projects ⇢ The lifestyle of freedom it unlocked If you’re building something scalable, this episode will fire you up. Hope you enjoy!

@TylerPurcell24 Give me 5% equity and I won’t tell them what you said at CC 2.0 🤷🏻‍♂️

Just spent the last 2 days with the executive team of a company in the laundry industry that does over $200m/yr. Some of the comments from their CEO: “Wow, this is unbelievable” “You guys are on to something here” “This is going to be big” “Do you have patents on this?” “Is this proprietary?” “Whatever we need to do for you guys, we will get it done” Business is all about partnership. Having an amazing internal team is important, but having those relationships with outside vendors is just as important. Operating Laundry Spot in stealth mode right now, but not for much longer. Can’t wait to pull back the curtain.

This morning. Every entryway to the house covered in 1000s of termites and wings! Worst I’ve seen in 15 years.

@rossiadam Great post. You're the best kind of patriot. I still regularly wear my Strong Shield t-shirt as a nod of appreciation.

I am a secret operative of an influencer campaign that has been running for years, and it is time I came clean.

@joebenson @chainlink @The_DTCC Our time in the sun is upon us!

THE @chainlink STANDARD HAS BEEN CHOSEN BY @The_DTCC The way forward is clear! The migration to the standard is happening! ethereum:0x514910771af9ca656af840dff83e8264ecf986ca

@InterstellarUAP Read: Extraterrestrial Intelligence and the Catholic Faith by Paul Thigpen They are indeed compatible.

🚨Rep. Eric Burlison BOMBSHELL: "UFO's & Aliens Have challenged my FAITH in God" 👽🛸 "I am a Christian & I believe the only way to salvation is through Jesus Christ but this has challenged my faith" 😱 “I’m a skeptic by nature. I’m from the Show-Me State. But I’ve also come to the conclusion that if you stick to what the Bible actually says, this subject does not challenge my faith or conflict with a biblical worldview.” In this powerful clip, the Missouri Congressman explains why UAP disclosure and Christianity don’t have to clash when you stay grounded in actual Scripture not personal interpretations. Does this surprise you? Can faith and the possibility of other intelligent life in the universe actually coexist according to the Bible? What’s your honest take? Has this perspective strengthened or challenged what you believe? Share your thoughts below.

@joebenson Thanks bro, and you already are!

Perks: when your friends with one of the best photographers in the country 🔥 (Ana Galloway on IG, check her out) Celebrating our first Mother’s Day today. A year ago we were going through IVF, unsure if it would even be possible. Having a kid is just the best.

@ShannonJean Precisely

When I was 7 years old, I put the thermometer in the microwave trying to fake that I had fever to skip school. Of course, it flamed up in 3 seconds and blew the device. I played dumb, but given it no longer worked my fever couldn’t be checked. Got to stay home. Got the W. 😬

Just ran a 7:53 mile which was my 2026 speed goal (to get under 8mins). Your limitations are just in your head- I’m telling you. I decided today would be the day I was gonna do it, and my body obeyed my belief.

Minor tweaks can have a major impact. It’s called Conversion Rate Optimization, and it comes as standard operation with Eversite. No extra $ was spent for this change. Just time by a team that’s invested in your business’s success.

@_jameslincoln @JoinCrowdHealth is not religiously affiliated and very similar. We are members of @SamaritanMin which has been amazing for our family (10+ years).

Why doesn't a mormon version of christian health sharing exist? Someone needs to work on it

@theDSOguy Congrats David. Been fun following your growth. Crushing it man!

Exciting times this month! I've got some awesome partners opening 4 new clinics in 4 weeks this month that I'm involved with. Week 1: Raleigh--exciting open the first week of May. We had 27 new patients in the first 2 days. Week 2: St Louis--we are opening a new specialty clinic within one of our existing clinics Week 3: Bye week Week 4: Goal is to open the Dallas clinic I've been posting about AND move one of our existing clinics in Austin into a new, bigger space Moral of the story: Work with great people and you can do big things!

@rossiadam The benefits far outweigh any minor downside, especially at an early age. We will allow are kids to make their own choice in high school, but so far our oldest prefers the flexibility of being at home. Homeschooling is major blessing for our family. x.com/joebenson/stat…

I have some friends that homeschool their kids and the results are pretty shocking. Their kids score off the charts. And they're only putting 3 or 4 hours a day into whatever they're doing at home. I didn't homeschool my kids, so I don't know exactly what they're doing. But anecdotally something is working really well. Once a fringe movement of just 13,000 families in the 1970s, there are now well over 3 million homeschooled kids in the US today, estimates suggest. Back when I was in school, it felt like a prison. I would sit in a classroom in rural Virginia with kids that were held back, going at the speed of the slowest kid. learning about topics I don't care about. I know it sounds hippie-dippy, but I just wish there was some way for kids to pursue their interests. I had this bizarre report card where I'd have an A in chemistry, science, math, and then a D in everything else. I just wasn't participating in topics I didn’t find interesting. I get the teacher's side. You have to run a classroom through a a curriculum that's been handed to you. Every kid can't be doing their own thing. But then I see my homeschooling friends getting great results with 3 hours a day because their kids are working on what they're actually curious about. Compare that to eight hours of kids in class and then the amount of homework a lot of these kids have (especially here in Northern Virginia where we're in a very competitive system). It's way too much. College admissions has turned into an arms race. Kids are competing against students from around the world for admission to their state school. A lot of people don't realize college admissions are based partly on where you're from geographically. If you're from Fairfax County they say, well, we have 100 other kids from Fairfax County. Where do you rank? You're number 75? Too bad. But if you're from South Dakota? You might be one of a handful of applicants from that state. Colleges want to say "we have students from all 50 states," which is basically auto-admission And kids and parents know this. They're hiring college admissions coaches and tutors. There's this pressure cooker environment. They need 4.0+ GPAs, a laundry list of extracurriculars, charitable endeavors, a perfect essay. And colleges use their rising costs to justify admitting more international students who pay double tuition. I don't know how to reform the system. But when I see homeschooling friends getting these results with three hours a day, I want to know what that is.

@mytwillot @BILLYBENS0N lol what’s funny about this is Billy and I were just asking each other about better X bookmark tools a few days ago.

I’m new to X. X is good. But if I see one more “What are you building today” post…

@mvanhorn @trevin @steipete Congrats Matt. This looks really useful if it works as described!

Introducing the Printing Press, a CLI-factory and a CLI-library. Built with @trevin. 🏭🖨📚 Most APIs suck for agents. Most MCPs suck for agents. Most official CLIs suck for agents. They waste tokens and time. @steipete started making his own because of this. 📚 A Library of agent-native CLIs you install today (Linear, ESPN, Flight GOAT (Google Flights + Kayak nonstop), Contact Goat (LinkedIn + Happenstance + Deepline more) +30+ more) 🏭 A factory that prints new ones for any service - just type /printing-press CLIs are fast, local, SQLite-backed. Work in Claude Code, Codex, OpenClaw, Hermes. 🌐 printingpress.dev

@ShannonJean Too late. Off to bed. Another time 😉

@joebenson Tell it here!

Opened the BBQ to find this special dinner guest. Zoom.
