@BKRBusinessMin Read Lonesome Dove. Don’t worry about length it reads easy

What is you favorite recent fiction book. Just something you enjoyed. Please don't try and sound smart and say something like the Iliad and odyssey.

@BKRBusinessMin The company that needs a new machine tool, and hasn't bought it, is already paying for it

Does anyone have a favorite quote or tweet to share today?

@thesamparr Real lentil / chickpea vibes here

Visiting my childhood home and saw this on my old book shelf. Skimmed a few pages and suddenly feel like sarging a set and throwing around a few negs. Every 35 year old man on this app, go ahead and thank your 14 year old self for buying this bad boy.

@akothari Coke and Pepsi

These two companies are rivals. If you asked me to guess from the outside, I'd say the blue company is crushing it. Way more buzz, better product, louder fans. But nope. The yellow company has absolutely crushed it in performance over the last 5 years. Can you guess who's who?

@drewfallon12 Good ad for apollo

chat, is this a green flag or red flag (alex is a recruiter we hired)

@mbertulli Tactile turn - machined pens, flashlights, knives

Who here manufactures in the USA? OR Who's your favorite "Made in America" brand? ***** I want to book some factory tours. See how things are made. Any category.

@Nrcoope @theisaacmed @KanpaiFoods @Nrcoope looks right in the wheelhouse, thank you! Hello @theisaacmed. Would love to chat. Nate can you connect us via email?

@theisaacmed @KanpaiFoods @sclevy

On the hunt for someone part time to come in and help set up/jump start @KanpaiFoods DTC. Long-term engagement. Not looking for a FTE currently, but can evolve into one. We are very scrappy. 1. Help revamp website (nothing fancy) 2. Help potentially set up Amazon or dictate strategy (is amazon even a viable channel? no idea) 3. Help see if paid media is viable for us

@jaltma @erondu A gentle story to lull him to sleep 😴

@erondu basically a mean teacher started eating all the kids and got bigger and bigger and ate the whole building and then town earth solar system etc until eventually there was nothing in the universe but the mean teacher and then there was a new big bang. he was flabbergasted

I don't like to brag but tonight I told a bedtime story that was so good that when I was done my 5 year old said "whoa. that was incredible."

@drewfallon12 This is such a heartbreaker to people who know Ecomm. They have good products! It’s just a disaster and there’s nothing being done to right the ship

Allbirds just reported its worst earnings ever The stock-split adjusted price is now a mere <30 cents per share. Most people just chalk it up to apparel being hard, or ecom being dead - when in reality this is a story of horrible mismanagement Let’s dive into the report👇

@jasonfried Use some past data to score this list. 150,000 is not the same as 25,000 super fans and 75,000 people who have never opened an email. Do that first then think about the product to offer them

We have a mailing list of 150,000+ people and we don't know what to do with it. We haven't for years. It's made of all sorts of people — customers (some HEY, some Basecamp), prospective customers, people curious about our company, people who like our writing, people who've read our books, people who've just found out about us and are marginally curious. And I'm sure others. We don't like complexity, so trying to segment the list and maintain multiple lists isn't in the cards. Just not interested in the additional overhead, work of sending different things to different groups, etc. We don't do it that way here on X, and we're not interested in doing it that way on email. We also don't want to bug people, so an irregular cadence feels more natural that something too regular. Or perhaps just once a month is enough. And aggressive selling or pitching is anathema to us. And we don't, and won't, have a person or team purely dedicated to this. It's a side responsibility for one person at the most. Curious... What would you do with it given our self-imposed constraints above?

@BKRBusinessMin It’s what you’ll never ever hear me say nice shot, unless I’ve won the hole, in which case I am the manager of your money already

When I wake up and a guy says to me this guy I was supposed to have dinner with last nite I think ah yes he's a money manager of course he wants to have dinner. It's like the guy who always says nice shot in golf duh he's a money manager. Or the hot girl half your age who says you are handsome duh.

@BKRBusinessMin Just reminding myself not to try to time anything! Even if it means holding a position in bourbon through the tariffs 😬. That said I am planning to go through HF 13F releases over next weeks to look for any blue chip funds taking big positions or doubling down

@sclevy what investments are you following now.

@BKRBusinessMin It’s like rocky 4 over here. Training in secret. Practice swinging with tree trunks in the cold.

I don't know who has to read this but my buddy @sclevy who will remain anonymous best get some practice in

@BKRBusinessMin Losing to opponents who are far inferior and obviously get lucky once in a blue moon

What causes you the most stress in your life.

@BKRBusinessMin True detective season 1

The wire

@drewfallon12 Only explanation I can think of for this behavior is he’s trying to sell you on some service. Hopefully blocked before he got to the pitch! I’ve actually thought to myself I’m surprised you give out the info you do for free. Lot of work!

Guys check out this guy who DMd me after I sent him the M&A database😂😂 Complaining about a free resource with hundreds of M&A transactions, comp spreads, and a built in DCF

@BKRBusinessMin You have exposure through S&P and other ETFs surely

As soon as I want to invest in Nvidia it drops 6%. Hmmm. Maybe bite the bullet and buy some.

@patrickdichter If it does, I think it shows that the cold email marketing was poorly executed more than the effectiveness of billboards

We’re trying a billboard marketing campaign for 3 months. It’ll cost us the same as the cold email marketing we tried last winter. You think it’ll get better results than email? And is our design compelling or too vanilla?

@DanteTheDon Bavettes and joes interchangeable 1 and 2

Bavette’s has gotta be the best steakhouse in the country no?

@GoracleOfDelphi Tactile Turn pens
