I think I'm going to take a break from X an a lot of the internet for a while. Taking too much information isn't doing so great for me, and this channel isn't growing. I'm also opting out of the AI discussion. It doesn't matter, and things will just happen.

You gotta maintain a lightness to your heart because turning into a bitter loser obsessed with how people have done you wrong is the most off-putting and unrewarding way a person can choose to be

Top 5 signs someone's going to be successful: - acts resolutely and responds with conviction - high EQ / actively pursues self-actualization - equanimous in any high-pressure situation - knows when to shut up and listen - curious enough to question their own beliefs

Growing disgusted with your own predictability is the first sign of actual intelligence. Lying is the ultimate currency of the weak. It’s a cheap survival mechanism deployed by a mind terrified of its own unmasked absence. You rewrite history in real time and defend your illusions because facing the naked truth feels like a death sentence to the identity you spent decades building. The tragic joke of chronic deception is total blindness. A liar doesn’t just fool the world; they are the primary victim of their own fiction, trapped in a house of mirrors where every reflection is a manufactured ghost. They call it diplomacy or nuance. Reality calls it rot.

What people think networking is: •Going to conferences •Passing out business cards •Having surface-level conversations to “get your name out there” What networking really is: •Remembering birthdays, promotions, and new additions to the family •Learning people’s problems AND connecting them to solutions •Speaking highly of people in rooms they aren’t in Networking isn’t collecting contacts. It’s showing up for people.

The #1 outlier predictor I’ve seen first hand is the ability to construct a mindset so limitless that everyone you meet just falls in love with your view of the world and wants a part of whatever you’re doing.

I’m gonna tell you guys something Playing games and eating cheetos in underwear is more fun than anything else in life All you need is a paid off house and a gaming setup Nothing else is more important

Rich people can afford kids. Those kids will inherit that house in the nice area. They also inherit enough to start their own family. Luxury is way more stable than you think and every single decade creates a new set of generational wealth.

Its going to need you bro. How else can this place become great if it sheds all of its greatness?

Lots of founders are crashing out A year ago AI felt like an incredible opportunity. Most of us were able to ship faster, remove admin, and get time back. Lots of engineering founders were even able to explore marketing for the first time: SEO, organic social, outbound. Building complex systems that felt extremely productive. But since then, a lot has happened. Here’s some of the themes I’m seeing: AI marketing isn’t working. At first it feels impressive and it looks good but for most it’s not driving results. This is made worse by the fact everyone has access to the same tools. Inboxes are flooded, buyers are fatigued, the economy is flat. Engineers are fried. Yes you can ship more but for many the flow state has gone. It’s a new way of working and it’s not for everyone. The speed leaves many of us exhausted before 11am. There’s a feeling of what’s the point? Is my product’s next feature going to be redundant in a year, or a month? Can’t AI do what my business does, better? SaaS valuations have collapsed. From 3-4x revenue to 1x. There’s a sinking realisation that a large number of SaaS companies will go to 0 in the next few years. Building to exit seems almost crazy right now. There’s far fewer buyers and far more sellers. These include vibe coders cloning products without the care or craft, contributing to the distribution challenges from people doing it the right way. Lots of people are trying to make money by selling shovels. This just adds to the frenzied energy. Build in public stopped being fun. A few makers realised that the new game is attention, and now everything feels insincere and stunt-driven. They are influencers not founders. Changes to the X timeline compounded the issues. There are exceptions and there are still moats remaining, but the challenges feel existential

Finally a realistic experience with cold email. This shit ain't for the weak. It's for psychos.

Best way to fuck up your life? Do nothing: - don’t talk to girls - don’t take risks - don’t move countries - don’t quit jobs Instead: - stay home as much as possible - avoid “bad things” - stick to what you know - stay in your lane Recipe for being a gigantic pussy

Don't Quit

I just spoke to a couple on my podcast. What would you tell them? - Assets: $11 million - Income: $1 million+/year - Savings: $50,000 - Private school for five kids: $150,000/year - Clothes: $2,000/month - Cars: $3,000/month - Groceries: $4,000/month - Vacations: $40,000/year - They spend more than they make each month When I ask what they'd like to change, she says she'd rather take no vacations for 10 years than sell their $2 million summer home The actual conversation is below
