Good vibes only. ✨✨✨ And any negativity is mirrored back. 🪞

“90% of high-growth marketers now prioritize incrementality testing over platform attribution. The hard truth: attribution shows which touchpoints preceded a conversion, but it can't prove any of them actually caused it.” I keep saying a multitouch brand experience is key.

Agent-native websites: I’m excited to find this article as I was thinking myself to change website building blueprint to having design-system files to maintain layouts and visual styling, and having content injected from MD files. clickminded.com/what-is-an-age…

@ShooterMcGavin Yeah, they’d 💩 their pants before that…

Mom and dad packing for that all inclusive trip to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico they paid for 3 months ago

@phi_ci @sentdefender The level of ignorance. 🫠

@sentdefender Lol Mexico has Costco?

Multiple vehicles burn in the parking lot of a Costco in Puerto Vallarta, as the CJNG Cartel continues its rampage throughout the city and across the Mexican state of Jalisco.

2026 is the GREATEST time to build a startup in 30 years I’m 36. I’ve sold 3 startups, helped build companies that raised billions, and backed teams from seed to unicorn. 20 MEGA shifts that make this the BEST time to build in a GENERATION: 1. Hardware got smart. Download open-source AI models from HuggingFace to cheap robots and they're suddenly smart. Opens up tons of use-cases. 2. SaaS is imploding. AI can replicate $500K software for pennies. Enterprise software that took 30 engineers now requires 1 and a Claude Code subscription. Founders will go more niche and more custom and outprice incumbents. 3. Outcome-based pricing is eating subscriptions. With AI agents handling work automatically, founders can guarantee results instead of selling features. This creates a massive arbitrage opportunity to steal market share from rigid subscription models. 4. Vibe marketing is the new marketing. AI agents/tools like Lindy, Gemini and Claude Code Using agents to do personalized outreach, ads and content creation it’s getting good. This is like getting on social in 2005. 5. Social is FYP-ified. Distribution no longer requires massive followings, just content that hits. Founders can build audience from zero without ads and then convert them to owned media channels (text/email). 6. Interfaces are vanishing. Conversations are replacing dashboards across industries. This removes training barriers and means customers can use sophisticated products immediately. 7. Companies are obsessed with efficiency and cutting costs right now. Corporate budgets are getting reallocated to AI. Companies are cutting traditional software spend to make room for AI-powered alternatives. This creates fast-tracked approvals for startups delivering 10x efficiency. 8. 99% of MVPs won't need VC. Low-cost MVPs combined with creator partnerships and AI automation allow bootstrapped scaling. For most software businesses, outside funding is now unnecessary. 9. Global teams. You don’t need to hire in your own city anymore. Opens up tons of arbitrage opportunities and ways to create products unlike before. 10. Millions of creators want to get paid. If you have the right product, the right network of creators, you can hit scale insanely efficiently. Never before did this exist. Next gen founders are building startups community first, software second. 11. Prototyping is nearly instant. With Lovable, Rork etc, you can test ideas in days, not months. MVP speed is basically 1x/week. This creates room for multiple products from small companies (multipreneurship), helps get to PMF faster, 12. LLM APIs create building blocks weekly. I can’t even keep up with how many new APIs/tools coming out from LLMs weekly. Example: Nano Banana pro comes out, probably 1000 ideas built on top of that can be $5M/year businesses. 13. $1m+ revenue per employee. With the leverage of LLMs, community and agents, employees are way more efficient. It won’t be uncommon to generate $1m per employee. This will lead to a rise of "multipreneurship", small teams owning multiple products /businesses. Holding companies will be as common as startups. 14. Superniche is the new niche. Because costs to create software startups is 1/100th, you can service little niches (i call them superniches) and still have a life-changing business. 15. Mobile app ecosystem about to 10X. 2 reasons. First is, adding AI to apps make apps more useful. More useful apps, make more money. Second, 16. Compliance and boring workflows are suddenly buildable. Permits, audits, insurance, payroll edge cases, filings, RFPs. These were “too annoying” for startups before. Agents thrive on rules, checklists, and repetition. The least sexy problems now have the best unit economics. 17. Claude Code killed the “engineering bottleneck.” The constraint is no longer “can we build it,” it’s “do we understand the workflow deeply enough.” The winning founders are ex-operators who encode tribal knowledge into agents. Code is cheap. Taste + domain insight is scarce. 18. The long tail of software is now profitable. Niches that capped at $200k ARR can clear $5M with near-zero marginal cost. 19. Services are quietly becoming software. Manual agencies are one agent away from product margins. 20. if AI can replicate $500K software for $20/month, what’s your moat? distribution, customer service, brand, data etc. REALLY good time to be a world class designer/marketer. (and even more.... but this is getting long already!) We've entered the rarest of windows... when multiple technological shifts collide at once, creating a brief period where small teams can build things that were previously impossible. THE FUTURE OF BUILDING STARTUPS IS DIFFERENT. I know this... This unique moment won't last forever. Markets will adapt. Giants will respond. The window will close. But right now, a founder with clear vision and bias for action can build more in six months than was previously possible in years. (note: if you need an idea to get creative juices flowing, grab one at @ideabrowser) The next generation of great companies is being created right now, many by founders you've never heard of. Some by people who would never have had a shot in previous cycles. That's the beauty of these rare windows. The playing field briefly levels, and the future belongs to those who see it clearly and move first. It's a sacred time, don't bookmark/share this, build something in 2026, will ya? Happy building, my friends. 2026 is yours. Am I wrong?

AI runs my content strategy now. Built a system that watches industry news every hour, filters junk articles, and auto-generates Twitter threads plus LinkedIn posts. AI scores each piece for quality before writing anything. High scores get published automatically. Medium scores hit my review queue. Garbage gets archived. Never scrambling for post ideas at 11pm anymore. Comment "NEWS" and I'll DM it to you (must be following)

My recommendation is to take every 2026 AI prediction newsletter or article or YouTube video you see (including mine), throw them into NotebookLM and ask the following question: # BACKGROUND I'm a [your job title] at [your company] in [your industry]. My primary goal for 2026 is to [your specific KPI or objective - be specific with numbers if possible], following my efforts in 2025 to [what you did this past year to deliver on your goal]. # TASK Based on all the AI predictions in this notebook, help me think through my strategy: 1. If these predictions come true: What are the top 5 actions I should take to capitalize on these trends and hit my goal? Be specific to my role and industry. 2. If these predictions don't materialize: What are 5 alternative actions I should have ready? What's my hedge if AI progress stalls, adoption slows, or the landscape shifts differently than expected? 3. Regardless of outcome: What are the highest-leverage actions I can take right now that will pay off whether or not these specific predictions come true? These should be moves that make me better positioned no matter which direction things go. For each recommendation, explain why it connects to the predictions and how it specifically helps me achieve [restate your KPI]. ----------- You're sitting on a treasure trove of context, you just have to consolidate it and use it to your advantage.

I'm 55. It took me 30 years in a cubicle to learn what I’m about to tell you in 45 seconds: 1. Your 9-5 is not a 'career.'

Yeh, there are also human needs supply chains. Some people can be like those enormous resources consumers not because they produce humongous outputs, but because of inefficient self-management that always needs more and more.

@carmenjpgg @imjustaspark Maybe she’s nit bragging about the actual ring but about the fact that she’s got one while others don’t.

the smallest ring who ever lived

@King4ADay_UK @neilpatel Still glitchy for me.

@monixette @neilpatel Back up running fine today 👍

People have been increasingly arguing that a website is unnecessary in the world of AI. However, look at the percentage of online sales coming from websites. Sure, there will always be other channels that generate sales, and the number of transactions on your website will decrease percentage-wise as more people buy through other channels… But it still has a place.

@King4ADay_UK @neilpatel Me too, since yesterday. Damn.

@neilpatel Is answerthepublic down today? I'm getting an error. :(

What the actual crap with gray-haired adults acting like offended teens when they bump into boundaries? 🤣 Ridiculous sh*t.
