Dear #startup founders, Don't wait for an exit to fix health - get quality sleep, eat healthier, get active. If you don't develop healthy lifestyle habits and exit takes a while, you may not be able to enjoy your financial freedom the way you hoped. Take care of yourself 🙏❤️

@KingMadTaz @sciencegirl Stop by a gymnastics gym in the US! 8 year olds train 12-20hr/week when on competitive teams. p.s. Growing up poor can help cultivate ambition IMHO

@sciencegirl American kids could never.wit this amount of discipline she is definitely going places. To all the crybabies crying about “child abuse” ummmm no just because you lacked this type of ambition at her age, or even your kids doesn’t mean you had to try, and find faults with this.

@elonmusk Because women everywhere totally dream of kissing robots 🙄 And use of horses, with advanced robotics, totally makes sense🤯

Hey @IntercomEng can you please update your status page? It claims everything is up.

Who broke the internet this time? Is it just @intercom down or bigger issue?

@tomcoppens_ These girls started gymnastics at age 3-4, by 7-8 they are recruited into competitive teams and train more than 12hr and up to 20hr per week! This is pro athlete level of fitness 😍

4 minutes to completely annihilate your core I wonder how many can follow this whole routine without a break

I am leaning towards C. Seems like it could backfire if customers who see the notice will cancel/move service instead of allowing auto renew. Especially since there are cheaper and well liked competitors, like @Namecheap

This feels... new? Renewing annual services 2 months (!) before they expire. What's your take? a. smart business move b. aggressive growth/retention tactic c. desperate revenue padding for 2025

People can now get weight loss drugs for $199. But a 5-day course of Paxlovid, medication prescribed for Covid, now retails for $1400-1800 without insurance. 🤯 It's $500+ with insurance. There is no generic alternative. If you got risk factors, consider getting a vaccine shot.

Dear email marketers, resist the urge to send 2+ emails per day to *everyone* on your list. Your sender reputation is built on *relative engagement*. Every ignored email is a vote against you. Every click is a vote for you. linkedin.com/posts/liliatov…

@CathyM19988 Hotmail is brutal with recent engagement, just wrote a LinkedIn post about this linkedin.com/posts/liliatov…

Just happened to me.

@tomcrawshaw01 SEARCH

You can rank #1 in ChatGPT in 45 days (not 12 months like Google SEO) ChatGPT handles 2.5 billion searches daily and will overtake Google by 2027. I reverse-engineered exactly how to do it (giving away the full playbook at the end). Here's what changes when you rank #1 in AI search: - Your brand gets recommended when people ask "What's the best [your category]?" - You show up in comparison requests against competitors - ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Gemini cite YOUR content as the authority - You capture buyers BEFORE they even visit Google - Your content gets seen by people who never click traditional search results The difference between AI search and traditional SEO: Traditional SEO: 12-18 months, domain authority aging, endless backlink building AI search: 30-45 days, content freshness, structured data, and expertise Companies already winning with this playbook: Deepgram: 24x traffic in 60 days Webflow: 40% traffic lift in DAYS Chime: 3x AI citations in under a month They're not doing traditional SEO anymore. They cracked AI search while everyone else is still optimizing for Google. Inside the playbook: - How to audit your current AI visibility across all platforms - The 7 ranking factors AI prioritizes (completely different from Google) - Content formats that get cited 10x more than generic articles - How to reverse-engineer competitors dominating AI search - The refresh strategy that keeps you ranked (not just published) This is the exact system brands like Webflow and Klaviyo are using to dominate AI recommendations. And you can start implementing it today. Follow + comment "SEARCH" and I'll DM you the complete playbook.

@nathanbarry Nice! I wish other writers didn't skip this step. p.s. Gonna be epic, good luck.

I finished the rough draft of my book. Now the hard part begins: to edit this into a book that will continue to be shared for decades.

Ok, it's past Halloween, but share your recent AI agent horror story. I will start: @otter_ai sent me a summary of the meeting I didn't attend 🤦‍♀️ Like there was a brainstorm and action items and all... 🤯 #EPIC #fail

Hey @GoogleLabs Pomelli needs some serious work. My suggestions: - based on brand analysis exclude images that don't use brand colors (external tools/products!) - don't use images from help articles for generating ads!!?? - exclude anything that looks like a giant table (feature comparison) from generating ads p.s. What is Pomelli? 👉 labs.google.com/pomelli/about/

Chris' take didn't age well... Saw the news headline the other day that huge number of legal briefs were found sighting non-existing cases 😮 and courts aren't happy about this. Now imagine AI teachers making up science or history facts? AI as teachers and doctors? Not there YET...

PSA: If you love someone's newsletter, don't just read it! Reply with a quick "Love this" and click on links in the emails OFTEN. Subscribers can stop receiving someone's emails even if they read every single one (really yahoo? 👀). The clicks are important, so show the love. 📧❤️ If you are a marketer, don't include 100% of your content in the email, find a way to earn a click back to your site.
