@jennyhalasz so I wasn't hallucinating all along?

I've been trying to explain this to my family and friends for years... Great guide!

@pxue would be hilarious if someone started a thread of "cbfr" under that post

Me when the CMO says, “Can’t we just repurpose the LinkedIn post onto Reddit?”

@Armon_Sho @aftersell 🫡

We just killed $1M+ in ARR on purpose. @Aftersell can now be 100% free for merchants using Rokt Thanks. Every $1 you earn offsets your bill until it hits $0. Why would we do this? AI 3x'd our dev velocity the last 2 months. Building software is getting radically cheaper. If we're not passing that on to merchants, someone else will. SaaS pricing is shifting: less for access, more aligned to value. We're going there first. And eventually, Aftersell will be free for all.

@Armon_Sho @aftersell @SkioHQ @LoopEngine awesome

Quarterly upgrades are absolutely PRINTING on post purchase upsells. We’re seeing double digit take rates on average. The fastest growing subscription brands are already running this play. We (@aftersell) also just launched native integrations with @SkioHQ, @LoopEngine, and @getrecharge, so it’s dead simple to set up. If you offer a subscription, A/B test this against your current funnel.

@RayBilodeau crazy

@gloriaugcc Breathing exercises help a ton

This is a letter to my past self + anyone who might be dealing with “anxiety” For most of last year I carried this low grade hum of stress I couldn’t name. It wasn’t sadness, nor was it burnout. On paper nothing was wrong, but I’d wake up at 3 a.m. with my mind racing, sit down to work and feel paralyzed by all the directions I could go, and finish a productive day still feeling like nothing I did mattered. I labeled myself as “type A”, that I always have to be doing something. I labeled myself as “anxious” I tried meditation apps, long walks, gratitude journals. They helped at the surface. But underneath the surface, the hum remained. It was this pull on my chest, that wasn’t allowing me to ever feel fulfilled, I always needed to be somewhere. Then I came across this quote from a podcast that changed my perspective: “General ambition creates anxiety. Specific ambition creates direction.” And I could suddenly see it. My business goal was “grow the business.” My health goal was “get in better shape.” My personal goal was “be happier.” Each one offered a dozen possible paths and zero way to choose between them. No wonder I was spinning. I’d given myself infinite options and no map to follow. So I forced myself to get painfully specific. “Grow the business” became sign four UGC clients at $2,500 per month by March using Instagram outreach to SaaS brands. “Get in shape” became go to the gym three times per week and follow the same three meals per day. “Be happier” became dinner with a friend twice a month, phone out of the bedroom, 10 minutes of journaling + meditation every morning. The moment I wrote those down my shoulders dropped. I wasn’t so “stiff”, always anxious and looking for the next move, but I was actually living in the present moment And here’s the part that I can only look back after taking months off reflecting on what had actually happened: I’d been keeping my goals vague on purpose. And I was keeping it vague on an unconscious level to protect myself. Because “grow the business” is a goal you can never technically fail at. Post one reel? You’re growing. This vagueness wasn’t “laziness”, it was an unconscious self projected safety net because I knew if I were to actually set “specific and measurable goals”, I’d have to live up to that. It was a shield against measurable failure. And the shield itself was creating the anxiety. There’s a huge difference between feeling “anxious” and having “anxiety”. Understanding how to beat your anxiety comes from understanding your unconscious desires and how your “brain” might be optimizing for safety instead of growth. Cognitive dissonance is one of the causes of anxiety, it’s when you want to “grow”, but your unconscious desires wants to “safety” You have to let go of your unconscious and tell yourself that you “are safe” and that chasing your goals is not a threat. The way your unconscious mind works is exactly like your CNS- the central nervous system. It’s the signal system between your brain and your muscles. It’s not just about how much muscle you have, it’s about how many of those muscle fibers your brain can actually turn on at once. That’s why someone smaller can sometimes lift more weight than someone bigger is because they have a stronger “CNS” But your body will only recruit full strength if it feels safe. In the gym, if a weight feels dangerous or unstable, your body holds back to protect you. It needs to feel secure and have permission before it fully fires. In the same way, anxiety is not always about how much potential or ambition you have. It is about whether your brain has permission and feels safe to hit the goal. When the signal is scattered, everything feels tense and heavy. When it is focused and feels safe, your strength can and will finally show up. Too many options, no clear next step, and a quiet suspicion I wasn’t actually moving forward. Because I wasn’t. A few months in, I haven’t hit every target perfectly. Two clients instead of four. Eight pounds instead of twelve. But I know exactly where I stand, what’s working, and what to do next. That clarity erased the hum. It wasn’t bc it was easier but because I finally stopped navigating without a map. If you recognize that unnamed weight, try this before you call it anxiety: write down your three biggest goals and make them specific enough to fail at. The weight you’re carrying might just be your brain begging for direction. Anxiety is too broad of a word. When you leave it undefined, it feels bigger than it is. The devil hides in plain sight, inside the fog of vagueness. Inside the questions you won’t ask yourself, inside the “broad labels” you identify with. When you cannot name the thing, you cannot face it, so it quietly runs the show. Unconsciously. You have to clear the fog. You have to drag the fear from the darkness not the light and give it a shape, a number, a deadline. Once the invisible becomes visible, it shrinks. What felt like a demon in the dark becomes a target you can stand in front of. The moment you turn the lights on, the monster loses its power.

@AdamRy_n agreed. Codex is decent but other than that i dont see OpenAI leading in anything

We are in the middle of moving our entire team from ChatGPT to Claude. We’ll move over all company subscriptions. Cowork was the driving decision of that. But the product/eng team is all in Claude with Gemini as our backup tokens. Some Codex and Manus but Claude leading the way. I bet many companies are similar with the changes.

@BubbaDoesEcom for real

Yeah sorry bro I can't make it tonight. Some guy on X said that ABO is working better today so I gotta go rebuild my entire ad acct

@robbie_maltby @bitcoin_studios @allenf32 Yep bitcoin is going big here

New essay on why we (@bitcoin_studios) build on Bitcoin, and not crypto. Owes a lot to @allenf32's work on the structural case for Bitcoin over altcoins, particularly "Only The Strong Survive." Covers up-to-date attack costs, the Knots debate, emerging Layer 2 infrastructure, and why governments are accumulating Bitcoin (not Ethereum or Solana).

@acmediasocial for real

When the APIs are so tight one database -> data lake -> ad platform -> CRM -> sales facing report. 🤝show me the money.

@WesMcQ agreed

This has been an obvious play for a while 18-24 yr olds have dorms & meal plans 55+ yr olds have their own closed neighborhoods 70+ have nursing homes with cafeterias, activities, programming But for 24-55 yr olds... ? As a single childless adult, one of millions, I've been saying for at least 15 yrs that condo buildings that are more dorm-like in terms of community, dining, activities are an obvious move with more % being renters I love living in a condo building, sharing resources, having cheaper bills, but like a lot of singles, I don't cook - as dumb as it sounds, I do wish we had a meal plan for an inhouse dining option, I'd probably befriend more of my neighbors We can boo-hoo about extended adolescence or whatever but humans are biologically meant to be social Watching to see how more of these shake out

@Beliaevalex @zborovskiy_d you should also look out for prompt leaks in your product.

What are the 3 must-have AI Skills for 2026? We've talked about it with Microsoft, Google and @zborovskiy_d , AI Director @ Deliveroo (acquired by DoorDash) ⚡ 1. Just build. Now. Stop waiting and long planning Today, you can build a working prototype in a few days, using only AI tools With AI skills in vibe coding, you can save between 5 and 20 hours per week, and upwards of $50k per month for your company If you haven’t started yet, just open Lovable or Bolt, or others and go for it ⚡ 2. Ship AI features and products faster Cut endless planning cycles that corporates and some startups love Ship faster because actions create data -> Data helps you learn -> Learning helps you improve your business But - do it in the smart way Many companies have wasted millions of $ on AI integrations without any positive results ⚡ 3. Measure whether AI actually works in your company Start with AI Evals But evaluating AI is much harder than integrating traditional tech That’s why many startups in San Francisco are trying to solve this and build billion-dollar companies around AI evaluation tools How can you start AI evals today? You have 2 options: - Build your own evaluation system from scratch - Use ready-to-go tools like: @braintrust , @promptfoo , or others And read the article about AI evals by the @AnthropicAI team. It's the best

@MattMeanders thats a nice cup there

It's been a while! Shoot me a message to grab coffee or lunch and talk marketing, startups, AI, movies, etc. #yesphx

@Chey_Christman @HarnessSaratoga insane pov

What a cool horse Magic is from winning the Gerrity at @HarnessSaratoga to competing in the Camluck Classic, Borgata, and more. He’s such a beast, and ending his career on a high note. Enjoy your retirement buddy, well deserved. ❤️❤️

@shiraz @dbrand looks cool

It’s beautiful Gonna have to use a case this gen, but at least it’s clear thanks @dbrand

@ShelbyHintze @RonanFarrow You can ask AI for that info

I really want to read the @RonanFarrow Sam Altman article but I really need a flow chart of names and roles to accompany it first.

@Beronikaugc exactly

A UGC ad that converts isn't an accident. It's a studied hook. A tight script. A strong CTA. And a creator who's watched enough content to know what works. Hire creators who study the craft. Not just ones who own a ring light.

@nineralex can't wait

List of participants for #49ers local pro day today at 1 p.m Does anyone catch your eye?

@BenSmith2588 about time you had that test Ben

I mentioned to my son that I had ordered another monitor. He asked, "Why do you need four monitors?" It was at this moment I decided a paternity test would be necessary.
