@swells_ It just felt easier to set up on hardware and I’m a Mac person.
I don’t know if it’s actually easier or better or cheaper. But it felt good/what everyone was doing. I haven’t tried a virtual set up (because it’s working) but I’m happy with it, very, very happy with it.

My biz partner has been very impressed by my team - time to get him set up.

@SteveGaudio Why did you decide to host on a Mac mini instead of hosting OpenClaw virtually?
English
@swells_ Just m4, I’ve learned this; you just need the modicum basic macmini or you need a super high level computers to run local models (which I don’t think are that viable right now anyways)

Americans want “country or origin” labeling on their beef. Politicians want lobby money.
Walk with me. Americans had “country of origin” labeling on our beef until our politicians repealed the Country of Origin Labeling (COOL) Act in 2015. Why was the act repealed? The WTO (World Trade Organization) authorized Mexico and Canada to impose over $1 billion in annual retaliatory tariffs on U.S exports if COOL was not removed.

CHLORAMPHENICOL IS BANNED IN THE US BECAUSE IT CAN CAUSE FATAL APLASTIC ANEMIA IN HUMANS BUT DON’T WORRY, THE US HAS INCREASED BEEF IMPORTS FROM ARGENTINA —WITHOUT IMPLEMENTING MANDATORY COUNTRY OF ORIGIN LABELING REQUIREMENTS!

“The people who win rooms aren’t the ones who know the most. They’re the people who manage perception the best. And perception is heavily influenced by delivery, it’s not just the content.”

Buy your meat from local ranchers and farmer’s markets. Know where it comes from. Shake their hands and ask them questions about how it’s raised.
Or just buy “US BEEF” from
The grocery store which could be coming from anywhere as long as it’s packaged in the US it can say “Product of USA”

Sharpie deserves the publicity. It invested in robots and workforce training that led to average wage increases of 50% with no headcount reduction, while also increasing production speed by 3-4x, boosting quality, and not raising prices. wsj.com/business/sharp…

"See his pen right here?" Trump says. "This pen is very inexpensive, but it writes well, I like it." "I don't want to give too much publicity but they do treat me well, Sharpie."

We were invited to speak to a school of 1,400 students about ranching, food, and nutrition, and what we found there gave us real hope. America is waking up. These young people—many of whom had never met a rancher or understood where their food actually comes from—listened with wide-eyed attention as we talked about soil health, animal welfare, nutrient-dense beef, and the hard work it takes to raise real food on working land. Their questions were sharp, curious, and refreshingly free of the usual slogans. You could feel a shift happening in the room: a generation beginning to question the processed, packaged version of “food” they’ve been sold, and instead hungering for truth, transparency, and connection to the land that sustains us. If that school is any indication, the future of American agriculture and nutrition isn’t just bright—it’s being reclaimed, one thoughtful conversation at a time.

After the breakup of the USSR, the Lithuanian basketball team couldn’t afford to participate in the 1992 Olympics, so the Grateful Dead funded the team’s expenses and sent a box of tie-dyed outfits in Lithuania’s national colors. They went on to win Bronze at the Olympics.

Jason Mraz has been a working avocado farmer for over two decades. If you live in California, there's a solid chance his avocados have ended up in your Chipotle order.
In 2004, Mraz bought an orchard near San Diego, eventually converting it into Mraz Family Farms. They’re a certified organic, fair trade, regenerative operation that has nearly 1,000 avocado trees on the property that date back to the mid-1970s, planted by the man who sold Mraz the land. The farm has since expanded to also grow passionfruit and coffee—notable given that Mraz first broke into music playing San Diego coffee shops in 2000.
The farm produces over 30,000 pounds of avocados annually and supplies Chipotle directly. In 2021, Mraz joined Chipotle's Aluminaries Project as a mentor supporting sustainable food systems. He's also testified before the California Assembly in favor of carbon sequestration credits for farmers and climate resiliency legislation.
Mraz shared his perspective on the whole thing in a 2024 interview with ‘Green Matters’: "If a farm is done right, it'll outlive its farmer."

The founders who figure out OpenClaw in the next 90 days are going to look like geniuses in 2027.
The problem is most agency owners don't have time to figure out the install, the security risks, where to start, or what to actually hand it first.
So my team built a 48-page beginner's guide that does it for you.
Inside:
— The exact prompts to hand it on day one
— Plain English setup for Mac and Windows
— How to secure it so it doesn't burn your business down
— 42 copy-paste workflows across sales, marketing, ops, and finance
Your competitors are sleeping on this.
Comment OPENCLAW and I'll send it.
The Startup Ideas Podcast (SIP) 🧃@startupideaspod
"OpenClaw is the new computer." — Jensen Huang This is the early PC era all over again. A few power users see it. Everyone else hasn't even started. "It's the most popular open source project in the history of humanity, and it did so in just a few weeks. It exceeded what Linux did in 30 years." A solo founder with OpenClaw can now build what used to take a 50-person team. The leverage is absurd.

The concept is interesting but is Polsia creating any actual value here? Are the companies it creates actually generating ANY revenue? Ben will not comment on this.
Again, the concept is super compelling but until we see data on revenue generated by the actual companies themselves, I’ll refrain from the kudos.

🚨 Pay attention 🚨
Ben is on the pathway to become the first billion dollar solo founder. In less than 2 months he has grown from 0-4.4M in ARR.
This is absolutely insane. We've entered clearly unchartered territory. Unreal .
Kudos to Ben, absolute legend.

About to hit $4.5M run rate. Still 1 founder + AI. Zero employees. Honest moment: this past week almost broke me. No one prepares you for what PMF actually feels like. Every infra partner hitting rate limits. Every bug that could happen, happened. Investors throwing big numbers at me. Customers flooding every channel. All at once. I went silent. Stopped tweeting, stopped LinkedIn, stopped podcasts, stopped growth. Just me and my AI agents, fixing things one by one. Here's what I learned: everything is solvable with AI. Every single thing. I'm building Polsia so every solopreneur gets access to the same tools keeping me alive right now. If I can survive this alone, I can package it for everyone. The future is solopreneur + AI. I'm living at the edge so you don't have to.
