@AlfieJCarter Claude

R.I.P lead gen agencies. I just replaced a $100k/year lead gen team with Claude agents. (all working while I slept) Most founders spend $10k-$20k/month on marketing teams that work 9-5. Most agencies spend $30k+/mo on outreach. Last night I built AI agents that run 24/7: - Lead Magnet Engineer → builds viral lead magnets in minutes - Social Media Expert → writes scroll-stopping hooks - Creative Director → generates on-brand visuals - Research Analyst → finds trending topics in your niche - Performance Tracker → analyses and maps out content The results after 24 hours: - 32 lead magnets ready to launch - 60 days of content mapped out - 50+ scroll-stopping visuals created While I was sleeping. Follow + reply CLAUDE and I’ll send the full system + setup.

David Trone just announced he's primarying me. He thinks I should step aside-but not so fast. I stand up to bullies & I’ll continue to take on Trump’s assault on our government workers, defend our diverse community, protect choice and women’s reproductive rights and work against inflation-creating tariffs.

@mikefutia BANANA

Nano Banana + Veo 3 + n8n is legitimately wild 🤯 This automation generates hundreds of UGC videos from a single product photo. Fully automated inside n8n. Perfect for DTC brands & creative agencies scaling paid social. Most brands face the same bottleneck: You need 50+ creative variations to beat ad fatigue. But creating scripts, filming, and editing that volume takes weeks and costs thousands. This n8n system solves it: → Drop ONE product image into n8n form → Nano Banana creates 20-50 visual variations automatically → Each variation flows into Veo 3 for video generation → AI generates natural UGC scenarios (unboxings, demos, testimonials) → Videos auto-saved to Box for instant access No scripting. No filming. No editing bottlenecks. What you get: Dozens of UGC videos from one upload → Costs pennies per video → Full commercial ownership → Perfect for testing angles at scale Built 100% in n8n. Want the complete workflow? > Comment "BANANA" > Like this post And I'll send it over (must be following so I can DM)

@mikefutia REELS

This Instagram Reels AI agent is absolutely wild 🤯 It scrapes trending Reels in your niche, analyzes them with AI, and extracts every creative insight you need. All inside n8n + Airtable. Perfect for DTC brands & agencies who need to know what's working on Instagram before they create content. Here's the problem: Manual Instagram research takes forever. You're scrolling for hours, screenshotting videos, manually noting hooks, trying to remember what worked. And by the time you act on it, the trend is dead. This n8n automation solves it: → Enter a keyword (e.g., "skincare", "fitness", "productivity") → AI scrapes trending Instagram Reels automatically → Writes all videos to Airtable with views, likes, comments → Click "Analyze Video" button in Airtable → Gemini watches each video and extracts: Hook, Proof Point, Theme → Click "Analyze Comments" for instant comment insights No manual scrolling. No spreadsheets. No missing trends. What you get in Airtable: → Video URL, creator handle, performance metrics → AI-extracted hooks (what stopped the scroll) → Proof points (what built credibility) → Creative themes (the narrative structure) → Comment insights (what the audience is asking) Built 100% in n8n. Want the complete n8n template + Airtable base? > Comment "REELS" > Like this post And I'll send it over (must be following so I can DM)

@jspujji LinkedIn

Two years ago, I hired an agency to revamp my LinkedIn profile. Since then, I’ve seen 3x more inbound leads. I asked the founder if I could share what he taught about LinkedIn profile upgrades and he said ‘yes!’ So that’s exactly what I’m doing. For context: In February, @marvinsangines of Notus hosted this workshop for my Accelerator Program. His agency has optimized the Linkedin profiles of 150+ B2B founders & executives worldwide - including mine. In the 83-minute session, he took us through the exact workflow his agency uses to turn every client’s profile into a high-converting landing page. As a BONUS, he also shared a step-by-step Notion template anyone can use to do the same. If you want the full recording + the bonus template FOR FREE: Comment “LinkedIn” and I’ll send it to you.

Leaving Austin after a great @TheNMSummit. Thank you to @JMatthewMcGarry for a fantastic event!

@sullydoesitall @mannyyreyyes See you tomorrow! 🤠

size matters

@justingordon212 @JMatthewMcGarry See you there!

I'm headed to Austin for the first time tomorrow 🤠 Looking forward to @JMatthewMcGarry's Newsletter Marketing Summit!

@AdamRy_n Would love to meet. Let’s talk shop

For everyone flying into Austin for the Newsletter Marketing Summit, welcome. I thought this would be a good time to reintroduce myself. The first newsletter ad I sold was in 2014 at Spiceworks, a professional community for IT decision-makers. We raised $130M from Goldman, and by the time I left, I had the largest quota in the company, working exclusively with HP and selling them millions of dollars of newsletters. From there, I moved to MyFitnessPal after it was acquired by Under Armour. I worked across media campaigns, and newsletters were a big part of our food and recipe content. I got to collaborate with brands like Hormel, Wonderful, and ButcherBox. In 2016, I joined @TheHustle as the first sales hire and later became president. The next four years were a wild ride. We were the first sponsor of Portnoy’s Davey Day Trader for $100K. We gave away a Tesla to grow subscribers. We launched a nationwide event series for women entrepreneurs. I convinced Microsoft to give us a big check two months in. We built and scaled Trends, our community, and so much more. We also spent millions of dollars on growth despite raising a relatively small amount. A lot of lessons came from that time. After The Hustle, I wanted to learn from people I admired who were building in the space. I joined the board at @6AMCity with @ryanheafy and advised @payloadspace, @every, @MatthewBerryTMR and Fantasy Life, @section_school with Scott Galloway, @DoStuffMedia, @tpinsights, and others. Since 2021, I’ve been building @workweekinc with @becsherm. We focus on creator-led brands, using newsletters and podcasts as the top of the funnel and then launching vertical professional networks. The goal is to build something more authentic, relevant, and useful to industry operators. Think LinkedIn, but only for HR execs or Ecom leaders. Newsletters have weirdly become the thing I think about more than almost anything else. And speaking of weird, I’ve done it all while staying in Austin, which has been home through every chapter of my career. I couldn’t commit to the event itself because my wife is about to have our second child at any moment, but I’d still love to see some of you while you’re in town. If you’re around, I’d love to have 10 to 15 people over at my office for lunch. We can talk shop, swap stories, and get into the nitty-gritty of newsletters. Reply with “let’s talk shop” and I’ll send you an invite. Enjoy Austin, grab some breakfast tacos, and remember the best content always wins.

@icon Icon

Excited to introduce Icon, The First AI Admaker. We’re backed by Peter Thiel’s Founders Fund & execs of frontier AI labs like OpenAI, Pika, & Cognition. Icon (icon.me) is like ChatGPT + CapCut, but for making winning ads with AI in minutes. How it works: 1. Icon looks at your video library & tags scenes (e.g. "close-up," "unboxing"). These scenes become reusable clips used as lego blocks for making ads. 2. Prompt Icon’s AdGPT to generate scripts focused on specific angles & audiences. 3. Icon finds perfectly matching clips for every script scene & generates an ad that is 80-99% complete. 4. Make edits with our CapCut-like video editor until you're happy. 3-person creative teams make 30 ads per month. With Icon, they make 300. We co-built Icon with $100M+ revenue brands like Ridge, Jones Road, Immi, Backbone, & MUD\WTR to solve big pain-points: 1. Making lots of ads is extremely painful. Icon helps you automate the tedious parts of scriptwriting, scene matching, video editing, audience research, UGC creation, & more. 2. AI-generated ads look like trash. Icon remixes your existing footage into new ads, matching your production quality & maintaining brand aesthetics. 3. Existing solutions charge $2K-$30K/month for: 🔍 Competitor ad spying & cloning 📈 Creative analytics 📹 Custom & stock avatars for AI UGC 👥 Audience research 📁 Video storage & tagging Icon does scriptwriting & video editing on top of everything above for just $999/year (their margin is our opportunity 😉). If you’ve made it this far, we have a surprise for you 👇🏻

@0xCaitlin @GradientVC LET’S GO!!!

I’m incredibly excited to announce that we’ve raised a $4M Seed Round from @GradientVC, Google’s early-stage AI fund! 🎉 Today, businesses spend over $200B annually to manage Accounts Receivable (AR). AR and billing teams spend countless hours bogged down by manual tasks such as reconciling payments, parsing sales contracts, responding to emails, and chasing overdue accounts. These tasks, while tedious and labor-intensive, are critical to business operations. Fazeshift's core thesis is that the data needed to run accounts receivable is fragmented and disjointed. The result? Teams are bogged down by heavily manual, tedious workflows—endlessly entering data, copying and pasting between platforms, and managing back-and-forth email exchanges. Fazeshift changes this. Built on robust, generalizable data models and seamless integrations, our AI agent pulls data from multiple sources, extracts relevant information, and takes meaningful actions. We go beyond using LLMs for analysis by automating tasks that once required entire teams and hours of manual effort. The momentum has been incredible. We are already serving customers ranging from fast-growing AI startups to unicorn companies valued at over $1 billion. We’ve automated entire workflows using AI that used to take a team of 12 people. And this is just the beginning—we have even bolder plans for 2025. This fundraise is a huge milestone for @FazeshiftHQ and a continued validation of our founding principle that AI will fundamentally transform how businesses operate and transact. This fundraise allows us to accelerate product development and expand our reach to more teams around the world. This fundraise is also a testament to the innovation and value we have already delivered to our clients. My favorite moments are hearing customers say “This is amazing. I’ve been waiting to see something like this.”  To the Fazeshift team—let’s keep pushing the bounds on what’s possible. A massive thank you to our investors, customers, and the growing Fazeshift team for believing in our vision and being part of the journey 🙏 Incredibly proud to partner with top-tier investors who share our vision of an AI agent future. Fazeshift's $4M seed round was led by, @darian314 and Clayton Petty from @GradientVC with participation from, @ycombinator @yuris from @WayfinderVC Pioneer Fund @chrisfhoward from @RitualVC @devontriplett21 from Phoenix Fund and incredible angels, @tmrohan @kul @RichAberman Thank you to @garrytan and @ooshma for being incredible mentors and YC partners 🙏 Thanks to @ryanlawler at @axios for covering our story - read more here: lnkd.in/eWq23WcA
