@tomcrawshaw01 Guide

n8n's learning curve is brutal. I've lost count of how many smart business owners I've seen: - Get excited about n8n - Spend 20+ hours trying to learn it - Build absolutely nothing that works They were doing everything "right." Watching tutorials. Reading docs. Following examples. But n8n content has a massive problem: It's all created by developers who've been building workflows for years. They don't remember what it's like to be confused by: - "Just set up a webhook trigger" - "Parse the JSON response" - "Configure your HTTP request node" If you don't know what those words mean, you're stuck. And here's what makes it worse: The stuff that's actually hard? Nobody talks about it. - How to structure workflow logic when you're not a programmer - What to do when your workflow just... stops working - Which 5 nodes matter (vs the 395 you'll never touch) - How to connect n8n to the tools you actually use So you end up wasting weeks learning features you don't need, while the basics that would unblock you stay buried in some documentation page you can't find. I went through this exact nightmare. And after finally figuring it out, I decided to build what should've existed from day one: A 6,600-word n8n guide written for business owners, not developers. Everything you actually need to know. In the order that makes sense. - Self-hosted setup (no Docker confusion) - Core concepts in plain English - JSON handling for beginners - Working workflows you can use today - AI model integration walkthrough - Solutions to every roadblock I've seen If you're stuck right now, or you gave up months ago try this. Comment "GUIDE" and I'll DM it over. (Must be following)

@lorenzo_pravata Agent

Lindy just changed marketing FOREVER… We now conduct research, analysis & creative with the same tool (3 agents) Only a handful of marketers actually know how to use them together: - Analysis Agent — scans ads, social, and keywords to find untapped opportunities - Strategy Agent — builds positioning and campaign briefs instantly - Creative Agent — generates copy, ads, and videos in minutes (NanoBanana & Veo3) This is the same system we use internally to move from insight to launch in hours instead of weeks. Want to try all 3 agents free? Like + Comment: “AGENT” and I’ll send the workflows so you can try them. (Must be following)

@trevizo_gabe So what you’re saying is that whoever is raising the next Mike Trout is not on twitter. That’s fair.

In AZ your kid has to be playing year round baseball by age 8 to have a chance to play on a club team as a teen. There are no seasons. It's year around. No time for football, basketball, soccer or anything else. Kids are forced to choose and in some cases it seems parents are more invested than the kids. Your child has a 2% chance to play division 1 sports and a .03% chance to go pro.... I hate to break it to you, your not raising the next Mike Trout and your glory days are far gone. Are youth sports this ridiculous where you live?

@BenOndaTop How are you so good at this? WOWOW!!!

SWARM | 2024 Houston Texans Playoffs Trailer (Created By: Me)

December 3, 2023 Dear President Gay, Since my letter to you of November 4th to which you did not reply or even acknowledge, I have received substantial feedback and input from senior members of the Harvard faculty about a number of the issues I raised in my letter concerning free speech, antisemitism, and the impact of the Office of Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging (OEDIB) at Harvard. I thought to share this feedback with you now as it may inform your testimony and potential questions you may receive from the Congress on Tuesday. Free Speech at Harvard In several of your communications since October 7th, you have emphasized Harvard’s commitment to free speech as the reason why the university has continued to permit eliminationist and threatening language on campus – i.e., calls for Intifada (suicide bombings, knifings, etc. of Israeli civilians) and the elimination of the state of Israel “From the River to the Sea.” You explained your tolerance for these protests on October 13th: “[O]ur university embraces a commitment to free expression. That commitment extends even to views that many of us find objectionable, even outrageous.” In my letter to you, however, I noted that In The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE) Free Speech Rankings, Harvard has consistently finished in the bottom quartile in each of the past four years. I note that Harvard’s ranking has deteriorated each year, receiving its lowest free speech ranking ever for the 2023 academic year, last out of 254 universities with a rating of 0.00, the only university with an “abysmal” speech climate. After sending my letter, I reached out to the faculty to reconcile your free speech absolutist commitment with Harvard having the lowest free speech ranking of any university. The faculty had a lot to say on this issue, as well as on antisemitism and the OEDIB. Notably, they were willing to share their views so long as I committed to keep their identities confidential. I have quoted their remarks below: On Free Speech “Years ago, Harvard stopped being a place where all perspectives were welcome.” “Harvard is a place where loud, hate-filled protests appear to be encouraged, but where faculty and students can’t share points of view that are inconsistent with the accepted narrative on campus.” “Harvard became a place where if you toed the party line, there was applause. If you disagree, you are drowned out. The gatekeepers of speech continue to further narrow what they deem acceptable speech.” “The primary problem with speech at Harvard is that if you say the wrong thing, you will be cancelled, which leads to self-censorship. The result is what you actually think is not what you say.” “Saying anything that doesn’t highlight the importance of slavery and colonialism as animating forces of history is not acceptable speech. Lived experience and ideology become the dominant forces of conversation. All of the courses follow the same playbook ideology. Ideology poses as coursework.” On Antisemitism, Support for Hamas, and the Protests Against Israel When I asked members of the faculty about the causes behind the Israeli/Gaza protests and the tolerance for antisemitism on campus, they explained: “Whiteness at Harvard is deemed fundamentally oppressive. Indigenous peoples are presented as in need of justice and reparations. Jews are presented as white people. It is therefore ok to hate Israel and Jews as they are deemed to be oppressors.” I asked: “Why are the protests only about Israel versus other conflicts in the Middle East and around the globe where Palestinians and other civilians were killed?” “Israel is the rare case where we have a hot conflict between people that are deemed ‘white’ versus people of color.” The Office of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging (ODEIB) “The primary animating force of the ODEIB is racism-colonialism and the denial of indigenous rights. The ODEIB is a home for people who are perceived to have been victimized.” “The ODEIB was meant to include Asians, but it does not. It is focused on communities that experienced colonialism.” “Recency matters. India is not included because they got autonomy 70 years ago.” “The ODEIB is at the service of black students, to a lesser extent brown students, and to a lesser extent LGBTQ students.” “It’s about whiteness versus people of color.” “The DEI framework prioritizes people on the oppressed side of the narrative.” Hiring Practices at Harvard One topic which emerged when I spoke to the faculty was the issue of hiring at Harvard, an issue about which the faculty clearly has a lot of consternation. When I asked why Harvard’s faculty has shifted sharply leftward in recent years, they explained: “Each department decides whom they want, and the university can accept or reject the candidate. Left-leaning faculty appoint other left-wing faculty because they get to decide whom to hire and promote. It’s a bit like the Twitter algorithm which continues to feed you the points of view you want to hear. Eventually, each department reaches the tipping point.” One senior member of the faculty shared that it is made abundantly clear that they cannot hire new faculty members unless they meet ODEIB requirements. That is, the candidate has to be a woman, person of color, or have LGBTQ+ status. Straight white males are “off the table.” Asians and those of South Asian (i.e., India) heritage are similarly disadvantaged in the process as they are deemed successful, overachieving minorities. A number of the faculty bemoaned that in many cases they cannot hire the substantially more qualified person if he is a white or Asian straight male as the proposed candidate “has to be a woman or BIPOC person.” I was told that behind closed doors, it is common to hear: “I clearly don’t think this is the strongest candidate, but we can see where the train is headed. I therefore have no choice but to vote for the [lesser-qualified candidate.]” It is made clear to the faculty that Harvard’s discriminatory approach to hiring should never be acknowledged or written about in an email. One professor said that he has been continually amazed that no one has brought a lawsuit as these practices are clearly illegal. One faculty member explained that it is not just the administration that has been putting forth these requirements, but that external organizations like The Chronicle of Higher Education (TCHE) do “investigative reporting” where they do racial and gender audits of university departments. TCHE publicly scolds university departments that don’t meet their diversity requirements further reinforcing Harvard’s requirement for ODEIB-preferred candidates. On all of the above issues, I know you will not rely on my survey of the faculty. I therefore encourage you to commission a highly credible, third-party firm to do an anonymous survey of the Harvard faculty. I am confident it will confirm and reinforce all that I have outlined above. Discrimination at Harvard Is Not Limited to Antisemitism The problems at Harvard are clearly not just about Jews and Israel. It is abundantly clear that straight white males are discriminated against in recruitment and advancement at Harvard. That is also apparently true to a somewhat lesser extent for men who are Asians or of Indian origin. The ODEIB is an important culprit in this discrimination on campus as it sees the world in a framework of oppressors and the oppressed, where the oppressor class includes white males, Asians, Jews and other people perceived to be successful and powerful. While Harvard claims that it is committed to free expression, in practice free expression appears to only happen “behind closed doors” or among faculty and students speaking anonymously. Conservative voices are squelched and often outright cancelled on campus. Tyler J. VanderWeele and Carole K. Hooven are two recent examples. In March of this year, Mr. VanderWeele, the John L. Loeb and Frances Lehman Loeb Professor of Epidemiology, a practicing Catholic, was effectively excommunicated from Harvard (saved only by his tenure) when it was discovered he had signed an amicus brief in 2015 which affirmed his view that the definition of marriage was between a man and a woman, and when he surfaced his pro-life views. See: sciencedirect.com/science/articl… Earlier this year, Ms. Hooven, an evolutionary biologist was cancelled and eventually forced to resign because she stated that one’s sex was biological and binary on Fox and Friends. See: link.springer.com/article/10.100… I am saddened that the Harvard I love has lost its way. I am embarrassed for not having been aware and previously taken the time to investigate these issues until antisemitism exploded on campus. I should have paid more attention as it did not take a forensic analysis to surface and better understand these issues. Discrimination at Harvard is not just illegal, but it is extremely damaging to our nation’s competitiveness, which is critically important in a world with growing geopolitical conflict and turmoil. Harvard should be an institution for our best and brightest, taught by our best and brightest who are in search of Veritas and excellence. Russia, China, and our other competitor nations are not selecting their scientific and educational leaders using Harvard’s diversity, equity and inclusion metrics. President Gay, beginning with your testimony to Congress on Tuesday, you can begin to address the antisemitism that has exploded on campus during your presidency, the seeds for which began years before you became President. But as I hope you recognize, the issues at Harvard are much more expansive than antisemitism. Antisemitism is the canary in the coal mine for other discriminatory practices at Harvard. As President you have both the opportunity and the responsibility for addressing these critically important issues. It won’t be easy for you as I have been told that your recent “pivot on antisemitism” is already making the radical left wing of the faculty highly skeptical of you. When 34 Harvard student organizations came out in support of Hamas’ barbaric terrorism, it was a wake up call for me. I hope that having to face the Congress on Tuesday will be a wake-up call for you. Sincerely, William A. Ackman, A.B. 1988, MBA 1992 Cc: Ms. Penny Pritzker, Chairman, and The Harvard Corporation Board

@rodrepairs @Levijameshere @tferriss That’s how you know it works.

@sweatystartup These posts are like someone getting increasingly prevocative tattoos to keep the buzz going until they’re eventually tattooing their face (this post) 😂

A sure-fire way to make a killing: Buy a business with a bunch of Americans in an office taking 2 hr lunch breaks and 5 weeks vacation a year while earning $38 / hr + benefits. Fire them and hire folks in LATAM and Philippines for $5 an hour. Expenses way down. Profit way up.

@davidshim @codyplof @Read_CMO Thanks for the response! That works fine, but I can’t seem to add Read when I’m already in a Teams meeting.

@keithwolf @codyplof @Read_CMO We're making updates to the Microsoft Teams app, but the app isn't required to measure Teams meetings. Simply connect your calendar and Read will automatically join Teams meetings based on your join preferences (no app required).

What is the best AI tool to "listen" to meetings, create transcripts, and create action items? Are any of them actually helpful for coming up with action items?

@davidshim @codyplof been using @Read_CMO with Zoom and really like it, but am i missing something with Teams? it doesn't seem to work.

@codyplof read.ai works across Zoom, Meet, Teams, and WebEx. Automatically creates summary, topics, key questions and action items. As an added bonus creates an ESPN like highlight reel of the meeting.

@experianhelp_us it's impossible to reach an actual person at Experian. Can you please respond to my DM?
