"This Christmas... Keep a promise. Forgo a grudge. Forgive an enemy. Apologize. Try to understand. Examine your demands on others. Think first of someone else. Be gentle. Laugh a little more. Express your gratitude. Welcome a stranger. Gladden the heart of a child. Take pleasure in the beauty and wonder of the earth. Speak your love and then speak it again." - Henry B Eyring

What a night. Go cougs!

Great week with the product team in San Francisco. Love what we’re building at Slant

Chat, is this 𝓬𝓲𝓷𝓮𝓶𝓪?

I’m thrilled to announce our $3.3M seed fundraise and the launch of Slant, the AI-native CRM for financial advisors. We’ve seen firsthand how automation can transform an advisor's business, and we are excited to take it to the next level. Over 1,000 advisors use Pageport every day, and as we worked with our customers, it became clear that everyone was working in outdated legacy CRMs— forced to buy dozens of add-ons to get their job done efficiently. It’s time for an upgrade to advisor CRMs— Slant is built with AI front and center, designed to help advisors build better relationships at scale. If you’re an advisor or want to be part of the team helping 20 million Americans get the financial advice they need, schedule a demo or apply to one of our open roles!

next time you get tiny moves twice in a row ...

Very excited to be building with @2048vc! Pageport 🚀🚀🚀

What do they got? A big team, lots of money, a strong brand, seemingly unlimited resources, panache, reputation, all that. They’re established. They’re your competitors. You want to look away, but you see them everywhere. Their ads on your social, their name in the media, your dream clients on their website. But you know what else they got? Bigger company bloat. Overflowing obligations. Narratives to uphold. Appearances to maintain. Entitlement. Too much overhead. They’re slow. They’re conservative. They talk too much. They’ve stopped taking risks. They’re resting on their laurels, gliding on their reputation. They’re on defense. What they’ve really got is a lot to lose. What do you got? Hunger. Drive. Grit. Scrappiness. Independence. You’re on offense. You don’t have enough, which is why you’re dangerous. You have no choice but to be clever and creative. To make up for what you don’t have with something they can’t have: The underdog spirit. You can move. You can adjust. You can adapt. You can get it done while they’re still stuck deciding what to do. Small is not a stepping stone. Small is not less than. It’s greater than. It’s faster than. It’s better than. Savor your position. You don’t get to be the underdog forever. The baton will be passed. But for now, it’s your magic wand. Use it. We stand with the underdogs.

@Jason We’ve got 6 demos and are trying to talk to as many users as we can. Blockers - getting pulled into some bigger deals and sales process at these larger orgs is so slow. Do we focus on the small team who wants to adopt now or slog through the process for a few 5 figure deals?

1. What are you working on today? 2. Any blockers you need help with? Please detail [ April 20, 2023] [ rules of the replies: don't just post a URL to promote (those will all be hidden/deleted); share personal insights, struggles & wins like a real human! ]

Me watching the entire retirement ceremony.

BYU may be outmatched many nights in the Big 12, but the Marriott Center will allow them to punch above their weight and steal games every year.

Heard from a source that Correa saw the Giants city connect jerseys and has reneged on the deal

This is absolutely absurd.

The least-covered NFL story this season: Tyler Allgeier is the best running back in the league. Nobody can tackle him. He might be Earl Campbell circa 1978.

Man, @TomBrady was so gracious to all of these young dudes. They were just excited to share the field with him. We know how much he hates losing but he showed love to every single player after this game. So much respect for him. These things need to be acknowledged

Correa is a great fit for the Giants because Dodger fans already hate him.
