@dieworkwear I need to know your thoughts on Chrome Hearts eyewear preferably before tomorrow at noon EST so I don't accidentally buy something that makes me look like a fuccboy. Thanks.

i also help people look good for weddings

i point out small, trivial details in men's suits that allow people to make fun of people in suits

@mikesmith187 “Hey what are you doing? Are you Tweeting? Did you just come up with this?”

Going to start responding to people that say “did I cook?” With “I dunno, are you cooked?”

Bottega Veneta snake belt

WW3 brought to you via a botched penile implant.

@dieworkwear I have bad news for you, they are arresting the wrong guy!

some of you already look like you get dressed in the dark

@mikesmith187 You finally cave to coffee?

Caffeine is crazy – like what do you mean I can FEEL thinking.

@WIRED It took us a week + hours of work to get a refund we were promised. I highly suggest @bchesky uses his own product for a month from randomized accounts simulating various things going wrong anonymously. And then fix the pain points. There will be many.

At WIRED’s The Big Interview event in San Francisco, Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky said next year Airbnb could have “one of the biggest reinventions” in recent memory. wired.trib.al/MqEl3D8

@adammasonx @Airbnb Thank you! Yeah, not good. Lesson learned either way. Hotels forever now.

@patfurey @Airbnb For sure. It's awful, no matter how nice of a place you book either. Hope it works out man.

Yet another awful @Airbnb experience. I really don’t know how they do it, and yet.

We recorded a call last night (with permission) that @Airbnb would fully refund us. So far it hasn’t happened and they keep giving us the run around. It’s in Chase’s hands now.

@adammasonx @Airbnb Yeah, lesson learned. Literally insane overseas help that tries to get you to hang up or pushes you off to someone else.

@patfurey @Airbnb They're the worst. We haven't stayed in one since our time in France last year gone wrong. It's just not any kind of hospitality any longer.

@mikesmith187 Philadelphia Barber Co by my house. They’re great.

@patfurey Where? Duke!?

What should a regular mens haircut cost??? I feel like I'm getting taken for a ride out here.

@mikesmith187 This hike sucks! It legit never is flat once. A slow burn but insane views at the top.

I’m not popping on a skateboard any time soon but I’m happy to be back in the woods.

After 2 meniscus surgeries (same knee, long story), 1 fractured knee, and a 2 year hard hike hiatus while in recovery/PT I’m finally back doing one of the hardest hikes I know. 2k elevation gain in 2 miles. Made it to the peak under 2 hrs. We out here.

@mikesmith187 Loads fine, but Pingdom + GT Matrix will help diagnose any issues or abilities to get it to perform it's best.

If any of you actually go to our site from this can you tell me if it takes too long to load? It loads SUPER slow in my studio but I’m wondering if it’s an internet issue.

😈

@kristiwright @Robinson__Brand @omnilogistics Our neighbor is renovating across the street + his crew was outside having lunch. I ran over and was like HELP ILL GIVE YOU $$ and they all laughed as 5 small but mighty men hauled this thing into our backyard. If they weren't there? Crazy about loading $55k speakers yourself!

@kristiwright @bryansfsd We ordered a roll of synthetic grass once. It was 500lbs. They didn’t have a dolly and only one guy was driving the truck.

@dieworkwear Who makes the most dressy short sleeve polo?

Few world leaders are so lacking in taste. Boxy tailoring, bad combos (grey sport coat with blue trousers and sneakers), and casual clothes that are only about wealth (e.g., boring Loro Piana stuff that could pass for Uniqlo). Expensive stuff + suits do not equal taste.

Russian and Chinese elites don't dress very well, so I'm not sure why they're used as a comparison. I also think that polo shirts and shorts are fine on a hot day, although Schumer's outfit is not the best example.

@gregisenberg People are willing to spend for experiences and $100k is low middle market for the wedding industry. Parents are paying for luxury weddings, not the couples getting married. Parents are successful, multiple homes, what else to do w/ $ besides build core memories + experiences?

Inflation is killing the big 200+ person wedding. Who wants to blow $100,000 on a single day? New trend alert: Micro weddings (and 2 startup ideas worth taking) I got married recently. No hundred-person guest list. No fancy venue. Just 14 people, including my wife and me. It was intimate. It was personal. It was perfect. We had dinner at our favorite French restaurant. Steak frites and red wine. That’s it. Wouldn't change a thing. And guess what? We’re not alone. Micro-weddings are trending, especially in major cities like NYC, LA, and Miami. With costs per guest soaring over $1,000 (thanks, inflation), couples are saying "I don't" to big, expensive weddings. They want something smaller. Something that focuses on what matters most – celebrating their love with their nearest and dearest. Here’s some ideas around the trend with low risk, high reward (and you don't need investors): Startup idea #1: Airbnb Experiences but for Micro-Weddings Airbnb probably does $1B/year on their experiences (my best projection), but don't cover micro-weddings. Imagine getting married in the Sequoias, surrounded by towering trees. Or upstate NY, surrounded by rolling hills. All for just $5,000. A Reddit post went viral where a couple broke down their $23,000 micro-wedding in LA. The comments were filled with engaged couples, eager for more info. Create a micro-wedding planning agency. Offer all-inclusive packages that streamline the process. One company, Our Little Wedding, is already doing it in San Francisco. They offer elopement packages starting at $5,000. You get a private ceremony, photography, florals, dinner, and a cake. All in a stunning location. The best part? Couples feel like they’re saving money. They’re happy to spend $5k when they thought they’d spend $50k. Over time, you become the Airbnb Experiences for micro-weddings. Expand beyond micro-weddings eventually. Who knows? Maybe sell to Airbnb for $100M. How to get started: 1) Identify unique venues. Think outside the box – gardens, libraries, rooftops. 2) Create a killer website (hire @DesignScientist) with SEO-optimized content (hire @boringmarketer) about micro-weddings. 3) Run targeted ads on Instagram and Pinterest. Show off stunning micro-wedding visuals (hire @imboringads). 4) Network with local vendors – photographers, florists, caterers – to offer all-inclusive packages. Okay, I'll give you another startup idea that might get your creative juices flowing. Startup idea #2: Micro-Wedding Content Hub Start a website that’s the ultimate resource for everything micro-weddings. This is part of a bigger trend which is there's too much info out there. People want taste and curation. How to get started: 1) Curate inspirational stories and real wedding examples. Make it Pinterest on steroids. 2) Offer planning guides, checklists, and vendor directories. Become the go-to resource. 90% in short form video. 3) Monetize through affiliate links, sponsored content, and premium memberships. I like this because you can build a pretty big newsletter on top of this. And then you can sell them other things throughout their marriage and even as they have kids. This is a wedge to a much bigger idea. So, that's how I create businesses. The blueprint I use: 1) Observe trends IRL 2) Use Google Trends to find new sub/related trends 3) Use Reddit to validate the idea and decide geography to launch with (Google Trends tells you which area search volume is high) 4) Build audience (usually short form video right now) to drive traffic/clarify offer 5) Use AI/No-code to get MVP out the door 6) Start printing, start iterating. Simple playbooks, works often. I hope this got your creative juices flowing. I put together 30+ other startup ideas that you can access here. It's totally free to access. Enjoy. My hope is you take one of these ideas and get creative with it. gregisenberg.com/30startupideas Have a creative day, friends. Reply/share this tweet if it was interesting. That's how I know to share more of this sorta stuff on x @gregisenberg

@mikesmith187 Could be big.

Damn am I about to license my worm hats to RFKs campaign merch?
