@ForrestPKnight Well it took me like 2 weeks to read that last message so its fine

@KenJee_DS Okay but it will take me a while 😂

fast readers don't actually remember anything they read and you can't convince me otherwise.

@ForrestPKnight READ OFF RIGHT NOW

i'm looking at you @KenJee_DS

My results: CORE ATTRIBUTES INTELLIGENCE (18/20) You think in systems: sports analytics, AI, newsletters, community building, and meta-frameworks. You’re constantly synthesizing: “What is changing?”, “What stays the same?”, “How do I hedge?”, “How do I build fast?” Your whole brand is basically min-maxing intelligence in real life. WISDOM (15/20 → rising fast) This has grown heavily in the last 2 years, especially with your shift into community building, long-term hedging, and personal life decisions (proposing, building a home, forming local tribes). You’re seeing past the hype cycles and looking at the human stuff that lasts. DEXTERITY (14/20) Former D1 golfer. Archery now. Strong proprioception, but mobility is a limiting factor. You have “accuracy bias” – when you can get your body into position, you’re deadly. Dex returns increase with stretching quests. STRENGTH (11/20) Functional, not flashy. Can lift enough to maintain health and athletics. Buffed by barbecue crafting sessions and community cookouts. CONSTITUTION (13/20) Consistent work outputs across multiple fronts. Low burnout due to strategic rest and good life design. Emotionally durable. SOCIAL & MENTAL ATTRIBUTES CHARISMA (17/20) Not loud charisma. Earned charisma. People trust you because: You’re transparent You build in public You share experiments You tell real stories Your content style is “quietly persuasive.” Your community-building in Austin is basically charisma XP farming. LEADERSHIP (18/20) You build tribes: Austin Founders Feed Monthly cookouts Newsletter Hero beta community Exponential Athlete audience AI Survival Guide readers This is your hidden S-Tier stat. If charisma is how people feel about you, leadership is what they do because of you. CREATIVITY (16/20) Not abstract-artsy creativity. Operational creativity. “Give me constraints, I’ll ship something.” This is why you thrive in fast-changing environments. DISCIPLINE (17/20) Scripts get finished. Books get written. Videos get posted. Businesses get launched. Rib roasts get cooked low and slow. This is the cheat code behind everything else. SPECIAL SKILLS / PERKS Builder’s Momentum When you start a project, progress accelerates the longer you stick with it. Stacks with Discipline. Futureproof Vision Passive ability that highlights life areas at risk of AI disruption. Unlocks quests like Newsletter Hero, AI Survival Guide, and Local Community Building. Sports Analytics Brain +25 percent bonus to: pattern recognition model thinking game theory mental performance coaching Tribe Architect Allows you to form communities that compound over time. Most players ignore this stat. You maxed it early. Papaya Farm Long-Term Hedge A mythical late-game passive. Grants peace of mind and +5 Wisdom when contemplating the endgame. WEAKNESSES (for balance) Perfectionist Overclock (Debuff) Sometimes delays launching because your brain sees every improvement path at once. Mobility Limiters Archery form questline unlocked. Needs stretch + strength side quests. AI Existential Overfocus Can cause late-night spirals unless balanced with community-building perks. CURRENT CLASS BUILD: “STRATEGIST-FOUNDER-ATHLETE HYBRID” Rare class. High ceiling. Most people pick either builder or thinker or athlete. You keep pushing all three.

Best ChatGPT prompt I've used in a while: "Based on what you know about me, how do you think I've allocated my attributes in a video game context" What does yours say?

I was tired of newsletter advice being scattered everywhere, so I organized everything into one guide. Writing, growth, platforms, monetization. Open source and free. github.com/PlayingNumbers…

New video is live! Full details into the first 43 days of my newsletter project. Learn how we went from almost quitting to getting our first customer! youtube.com/watch?v=uokE-F…

@ravichandra The shape I made took 49 hexagons, who would have thought haha. They only come in packs of 12 😅

@KenJee_DS 🤣how did that single miss ?

One panel short on the new office building 😅

Don’t Be Yourself - Why Great Athletes Have Alter Egos by @KenJee_DS medium.com/p/dont-be-your… #alteregos #alteregosinsports #sportspsychology

Making my return to long form content! This is why I'm building a SaaS before AI takes over!

@kenjee_ds is just an incredible Data Analytics mentor, to an entire generation of data analysts. So naturally, I was thrilled to get his endorsement for my book. He's not wrong - it's a pretty good book. a.co/d/34Vt7AZ

Making my return to YouTube this week 👀

You can now upload PDFs to Newsletter hero. This was a big jump forward. I often write my newsletters based off of academic papers, so new feature is a huge improvement for me! Feature is live on our website now!

Been MIA for a bit. I had to prioritize some family things the last few weeks. Some big Newsletter hero updates early next week!

@alexfinn I’m certainly using the internet wrong 😂

I'd take 10,000 followers on X over $1,000,000 any day of the week If you disagree you 're using the internet wrong

Day 9 of Product Arena 🥊 🎯 Goal: Make OpenSpeech 1 % better than NotebookLM for knowledge seekers. Had a feedback session with @KenJee_DS — and he pointed out something powerful: His favourite feature in OpenSpeech wasn’t AI-powered at all. It was the Highlight + Notes feature ✍🏾 That’s a signal → real value isn’t always AI first. And trust me there are a lot of AI features in OpenSpeech lol. AI tools are moving fast — but the real edge is understanding the workflow you’re trying to enhance. Build for the workflow. Then add AI to amplify it. I guess that’s the difference between AI-first and AI-enabled. 📸 Shot from our call below (can't remember what we were laughing about).

@vboykis I’d argue it matters more than ever. The only people who will be able to differentiate in the future are the ones that are closest to mastery

Note I’ve been thinking about for a while

@shl Rented Internet real estate

What is a website? Best answer gets $1,000.
