My Google Fitbit Air Arrived Early!
Instantly took off my Oura Ring. Only used Oura for steps and sleep but had to take it off when working out so didn’t do what I wanted.
LOVE the size and fit of the Air. It’s TINY. Barely feels like anything’s on and blends in with my arm and becomes barely noticeable.
The ONE thing I’m interested in is, will it work being worn over my tattoos. That’s where Apple Watch lost me. So far so good so we will have to see.
Let me know if you have any questions.

alright so, do I try @WHOOP again or get @googlehealth Fitbit air?
Brooke LeBlanc@brookeleblanc
So I stopped using @WHOOP because it kept falling off my wrist during runs. Seems like product has evolved a lot. Should I reconsider?

@RobHoffman_ Still one of the best stories I’ve ever heard. No exaggeration
English

Today I’m CEO of 3 profitable tech companies, but at 25 this was my plan for getting rich:
In Toronto, I bartended at a dive bar with a strip club in the basement. $300 a night. I got drunk with the patrons until 4am and high with my coworkers until 5. Then, I went home and wrote for major US news outlets that paid me $500 a piece for “hard hitting journalism” and political analysis.
I was clearly far from a legitimate journalist but at least my bylines were. I interviewed Jordan Peterson once.
I had a simple plan: save money, move somewhere cheap, and buy enough time to build a business.
Once I had $10k saved I moved into a $50/month apartment in the barrios of Medellín. It had cracked concrete walls. No hot water. My next-door neighbours were gangsters who stole motorcycles, sold drugs, and partied until 5am. It wasn’t ideal working conditions but they never bothered me and the weather was nice.
I tried building every business imaginable from that little apartment: A fitness brand. Niche affiliate sites. Nothing worked.
I was plotting on how to get rich but had no idea how.
Then I got a writing gig at a startup. The CEO had a comparatively worse drug and alcohol problem than me and since we couldn’t both be degenerates, I sobered up and grabbed the wheel.
I stopped writing and started selling. I learned how business worked, spotted revenue opportunities, and willed them into reality. At some point I got promoted: $50k a year. I finally moved out of the ghetto.
I've still never felt so rich.
I went on to sell half a million dollars for the company that year. The next year I doubled it. It was like getting paid to go to business school: I funnelled every learning into slowly building a business of my own.
The type of writing people pay for in the business world is called “SEO.” So I threw up a website, pulled together a team, and started selling.
At first, it was just a side hustle. But one day my little agency crossed $1 million in annual revenue so I quit the startup gig and went all in.
That’s how I went from a broke long-haired kid in a Medellín ghetto to a supposed “CEO.”
Whatever that means.
Now I have that title on my LinkedIn for three companies: two SaaS, one agency. All profitable, all growing.
I couldn't have imagined any of it from that little apartment in Colombian gangland. Not the money. Not the companies. Not the person I’d become. Definitely not the yoga I do every morning and a life where drugs and alcohol play no part at all.
All I know is I stayed delusional enough to believe it was possible and kept going.
I hope this helps someone do the same.
Keep going.

@Laraacostar @loom The fall of this app / service should be a Harvard case study. Painful

I used to think I needed to live in NYC, LA, or Miami if I really wanted to scale Brands Meet Creators.
Turns out... that was just a limiting belief I was telling myself.
The last few weeks I've been taking calls with 9-figure brands, billion-dollar CPG holdcos...
Doing demos from a random coffee shop in the jungle.
I've had jaws on the floor, demoing what we've been building recently...
You don't need to schmooze at industry events.
You just need:
- The best product in the market
- A relentless obsession with delivering value
- The confidence to show up anywhere and compete
Our team will put up stupid numbers this year - all while I'm in a villa that has no cell service...
You can simply live life on your own terms.

everyone thought AI would replace human clippers
here’s what they got wrong (and what skill is required to make money from clipping)
Pat Walls@thepatwalls
So I think social media CLIPPING might be one of the next big opportunities over the next two years. Not clipping directly, but building software and tools for this industry. A lot of $ to be made here. This deep dive video by @devinnash is worth a watch:

@WhatsApp can you please fix your desktop app? Every time I hit enter to send a message, it automatically wants to tag someone.
It's made the desktop app totally unusable and i've spoken to many others with the same issue
unfortunately it's impossible to find a way to speak to a human using your support channels and the AI bots don't help at all
hopefully this gets my message to an actual human support agent!

i'm convinced cold DMing strangers on the internet is the highest ROI per minute activity out there
example: I went to a wedding last weekend and everyone in this photo (including the guy getting married) I met through a DM.
@mike_rama7: I saw him on TikTok with 200K followers. He looked cool. I DM'd him and said "we should hang out." He introduced me to @MarkPecota, whose wedding we're at in this photo.
@joshuaeidelma: We're in @HamptonFounders together. I cold DM'd him. Now he's one of my closest friends.
@jakezward (my co-founder): I DM'd him on LinkedIn because we were building similar things. I invited him to Medellin on a whim. He came. We became best friends. A couple of years later, we merged our businesses and now run a portfolio of 3 profitable tech companies together.
legit 90% of my friendships, partnerships, and business wins in my life started with a cold DM.
If you think someone on the internet is cool, just DM them
takes 5 seconds and will make your life happier, healthier, and wealthier
no greater leverage over time than that
