You don't need to come from money. You just need to seize opportunity. When I was a kid I watched Dead Poets Society and found myself incredibly inspired by the Carpe Diem speech. Little did I know that moment sending chills down my spine was actually something I related to DEEP in my soul, I just hadn't discovered it yet. I began my entrepreneurship journey 34 years ago as little kid who was obsessed with pumpkins and the idea of growing them and selling them at the end of my driveway. I made $500 my very first season. I sold green apple & caramel suckers to raise money for my class in Middle School, learning that you could buy them for $.25 and sell them for $1. I paid myself back for my inventory expenses in the first 30 minutes of selling at lunch break, and bought my entire class pizza with the proceeds. Years later I was a 16-year-old signing a partnership with Marlboro for my tobacco crop which helped me land a full-ride scholarship to @murraystateuniv . I entered the marketplace and for a decade I learned from some of the brightest minds including the son of the founder of Dollar General (est. $2.6 billion net worth) and the team that raised $1 billion from advertising for President Obama's first campaign. Finally in 2013 I had reached the limits of my 9-to-5 and I stepped out on faith and launched a web design firm that eventually turned into a full-suite marketing agency that I still operate today. In 2025 I launched a brotherhood called Soulfire to help men activate their faith, lead their families and build their businesses, God's way. I've had days with only $53 in the bank account and a $1200 medical bill in the hand. And I've had days of enough surplus to be a blessing to others, giving away more than $1M of time & money along my journey. A little farm boy from KY that used to only dream of what it might be like to one day make $1M has seen that come through the revenue sheet multiple times over. But I've never forgotten my roots, never lost my gratitude, and will always invest in the ideas of those around me. My next goal is to give away the amount that I used to dream about: $1,000,000. In one year. That's what 2026 is going to be about for me and my family. Being so radically generous that people will think we're crazy. Normal is boring.

MADNESSSSSSSS!!

@briansooy Sadly I would agree here. Most that I’ve hired once I parted ways for financial reasons or end of contract, I’ve never heard from again and have never even been sent a lead despite investing thousands $$ into them and even helping consult growth for their business.

I used to think that the coaches and consultants that I hired actually cared about my business, my success, and me as a person. 30 years later, I'm here to report that most consultants don't care about anything beyond their reputation and paycheck. Don't be like that.

Would love nothing more than our President to hold baptisms on the front lawn on Easter Sunday and him be first in line 🙏

@jockowillink Should be immediate death penalty for the monster that did this, prayers for the family. Unbelievable evil.

A veteran, cancer survivor, beloved father, husband, and uncle of my cousins, murdered for no reason. This is America?

Have you ever noticed that all the protests that happen around the world are often anti-God? Only some lives matter? 1 Timothy says God "desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth." No Kings? Revelation 16 says "On his robe and on his thigh he has a name written, King of kings and Lord of lords." Riots around the globe? 1 Peter reminds us to have a "gentle and quiet spirit, which in God's sight is very precious." Those who are lazy and entitled? Proverbs 10 says "A slack hand causes poverty, but the hand of the diligent makes rich." Celebrating Pride inwardly and outwardly? Provers 22 says "The reward for humility and fear of the Lord is riches and honor and life."

@sytaylor Just put this together myself. ramp has the feature but often misses things so claude came through and pulled it all, reconciled it, made sure nothing was missed and uploaded to ramp and quickbooks and double-checked its work.

Claude just did my expenses across 5 Gmail accounts and submitted the receipts and memos to Ramp. There's now a weekly scheduled task and cron job to sweep for expenses and submit them. I'll never have to submit an expense report again.

Minority Report will be a reality soon…

@CoachDavidKlein @trevizo_gabe Parker

Proper batting posture = more power! 💥 This simple foam roller drill teaches the 30-degree hip hinge and the proper shoulder tilt you need to work under the ball and drive it in the air. Game changer for young hitters! ⚾🎯

Current Claude Workflow... 1 2 1 1 1 2

This little sucker is an absolute MUST when working through your AI troubleshooting for your sites: pptr.dev

Prayers for all the people on this beach that have been conned into believing media narratives and echo chambers that are a bridge to nowhere. Meanwhile our economy is on the bounceback, American innovation and manufacturing has been restored, and the world is becoming safer than it has been in quite some time.

If your child's school doesn't have AI Fluency incorporated into any learning tracks, it's time to find a new school. These skills are a massive hack to getting ahead in the future.

@BaseballCentraI @trevizo_gabe 1b drill worth doing, also that part on the catcher making 85 sound 95

The art of catching a baseball. This is a must watch ⚾️💯

@grok @MarchMadnessMBB i know what officials said but when you watch it is clearly longer than 2.1s to leave the hands. give me your analysis.

Analyzed the video frame by frame: Laettner catches the full-court pass cleanly, takes one dribble, fakes, turns, and releases the jumper. The release happens in real time during the play shown at ~7s mark, with no freeze indicating expiration prior. Officials reviewed it live and confirmed: 0.2 seconds remained when the ball left his hands (from the original 2.1). Shot counted, Duke wins 104-103. Legit buzzer-beater.

On this day in 1992, Christian Laettner hit The Shot for Duke 🤩 A #MarchMadness moment we'll never forget 🙌

🚨 "CODING IS SOLVED!" This statement by the creator of Claude Code is wild. Yes, the man running the entire team that is powering the greatest resurgence of AI into the mainstream since ChatGPT's first major release... hasn't written a single line of code for the past 120+ days. So what's next? It's not coding, it's prioritizing the problems that need to be solved and deploying agents that manage teams of agents building solutions. We're in a completely new chapter and entire industries are either going to skyrocket to success or crash and burn due to slow adoption.

@MichaelHyatt @openclaw Have you seen this video @mhp_guy posted? Pretty interesting and the guys has a solution for it he built heyron.ai youtube.com/watch?v=l0Vqm0…

Don't let anyone fool you. Setting up @OpenClaw is a time-consuming, tedious process. I'm not saying it's not worth it, but it's also not for the faint of heart. And yes, you will need some technical skills. My biggest complaint is that it seems to try everything initially by brute force. - It tries one thing that doesn't work. - It tries another that doesn't work. - It tries another that still doesn't work. And on and on it goes until it finally finds the right solution.

@owendesign @wesgay @fidexcode Starting to make me think Humane Pin was just ahead of its time and focused on the wrong market.

@wesgay @fidexcode Guy with laptop should be concerned for himself….

Company meeting in the next 5 years

Sometimes Claude is insanely great, other times it feels like an intern's first day on the job that won't continue doing unless you give them a thumbs up that they're good to keep going.

@TylerPurcell24 Same reply here, only one taker and they failed miserably.

I get about 5 messages per day over on LI that go something like this: “Tyler, would you like 10 appointments per month with highly qualified prospects?” My reply is the exact same to every single one: “Sure. If you get me my first client for free, I will sign up for a years worth of service” Guess how many have taken up that offer?
