Now is the best time for founders and brands... to take advantage of this AI bubble to actually stand out from their competitors. First thing that potential customer see is your product video/demo, and If I wanted to buy your product, and the presentation you show me looks crap, I will get an impression you cheaped out on the product as well and just pass. A lot of founders/brands sadly fall for that, especially now with AI hype promising fast and cheap content. Just be honest, if you are a potential customer - would you be converted by AI slop, or videos like ones below, that were fundamentally and manually structured and animated to a T for conversion ?show more

To JYPE TWICE JYPnation : On August 8, TZUYU... and JEONGYEON departed from Gimpo Airport to Japan with only two managers by their side, without any accompanying security personnel. TZUYU, in particular, experienced contact, pushing, and crowding due to the lack of security, posing a danger to the artist's personal safety and increasing the possibility of injury. Your company's negligence in artist protection is disappointing. As ONCE, we are also deeply concerned and angry about such situations. We urge your company to take responsibility. We request that your company ensure adequate professional security personnel are present during public events. We urge your company to take immediate action to establish enforceable safety protocols and ensure a consistent level of protection for all members. Thank you. #TWICE #TZUYU #JEONGYEONshow more

I hope more people are starting to see what's... happening. Whenever people find a candidate to take on the corrupt system, the system protects itself by either co-opting the candidate or pouring in millions of dollars from AIPAC and/or billionaires to crush their campaign. It happened with Bernie and Massie, and it will happen to the next candidate the people put their time, energy, and hope into too. The only thing that can save us is each other. We the people must cast aside the divide-and-conquer politics of our corporate rulers and rise up together to fight for a better system that puts people over profits.show more

I have seen many opposition parties losing to the... BJP from 2014. RJD, SP, INC, SSUBT, NCP etc etc.... But I have never seen the people tease, taunt, jeer & mock the opposition leaders, members of the party and an Ex CM as much as the people of West Bengal did to Mamta Banerjee, Abhishek Banerjee and each and every karyakarta, politician, or MP/MLA of the TMC party. From making memes, dancing on bridges and in pubs, mocking them in front of their houses, making a playlist of File Chor, Pishi chor Vaipo Chor type of songs, cat calling Mamta Banerjee in the Supreme Court,to spitting on Abhishek Banerjee.... they did all to their hearts content and are still dancing and celebrating. This is what happens....when you intimidate and torture people into silence and submission for years. I can predict that after this freedom and new found valour, if Mahua Moitra goes asking for votes in the Lok Sabha elections, every MP candidate of the TMC including her, will get what she most likes to advertise.......Eggs !!show more

Never told this story publicly, but here you go:... Last year, Jump n Pass (Techstars '23) ran out of funds. Was largely deceived by this African VC, and was stupidly depending on their promised funds. Anyways, market timing and building a product that was way ahead of its time in Africa made it difficult to raise. In a bid to save my company I used the last funds in the account and started selling meat. Yes, you read right. I convinced my co-founder Rex Quadry and together we went to the Kara cow market, bought cows and started a cow sharing business. We were killing cows in our building and selling it for parts. Lol. Toni owned the marketing of our meat. 2 months after, we won the Zenith bank hackathon, and 2 days after, I jumped on a plane to San Francisco to rebuild our business for another market. 1 week after arriving the US, we got into Founders Inc and got funded. Our story is still being written, but today, when VCs ask, “what’s your moat.” I almost want to say: “I am the moat.” lol We don’t give up over here.show more

TURBULENCE: “It is not external events themselves that cause... us distress, but the way in which we think about them...It is our attitudes and reactions that give us trouble. We cannot choose our external circumstances, but we can always choose how we respond to them.” ​Epictetus from “The Enchiridion” written by Arrian Welcome to the: complex, high-tech, global knowledge, interconnected, multi-cultural, multi-dimensional, multi-disciplinary, multi-educational, multi-generational, multi-ideological, ​multi-ability, multi-ethnic, and anticipated TURBULENT future business environment that impacts performance: · positively (opportunity), &/or · negatively (threat); coupled with potential crisis &/or chaos. As could be seen on the video (15 seconds); perception of the TURBULENCE in the environment (stable and/or turbulent​) is determined by 4 Attributes, as follows: Unpredictability → Uncertainty which is measured by two attributes: 1. Visibility of future - ranges from unchanged to surprise-full. 2. Speed of change – ranges from slower to faster than speed of response. Changeability → Discontinuity which is measured by two attributes: 3. Novelty of Events - ranges from familiar to not experienced before. 4. Complexity, which contains (orthogonally): 4.1. Scope - ranging from local to global. 4.2. Decision making and/or judgements that are affected by transaction of the entities. Or the extent of importance of each of the following CHANGE(s), as they affect your decision making in the industry (impact of Decision Making on individuals, &/or groups &/or institutions): Economy, Education, environment (natural), Health, Marriage & the Family, Law & Order, Information & Media, Politics, Religion, and Other. Anticipated Future: visibility of future is low, speed of change is high, novelty of change is high, & complexity is high. Anticipated Implications: acceleration, expansion, overlapping, & suction of future levels of environmental TURBULENCE. Advice: learn & act concurrently. To address the above, two programs based on the teachings of H. Igor Ansoff (Father of Strategic Management) were launched on 1-1- 2023, which are part of my Strategic Management Theme. Titles and links of the two programs are below: 1- Strategic Management Seminars and Workshop (for profit), For any type of firm (for profit and not for profit). Prerequisite, knowledge and practice in management and leadership. Details: 2- Strategic Democracy (not for profit), Customized for managing and leading the people’s business in the USA. Prerequisite, High School or above. Details: Fundamental Question (both programs): How to lead and manage ourselves, each other and the entity, while interacting with turbulence for effective, efficient, and equitable performance (potential formidable advantage)? That is done through answering five questions, as follows: ​1. Where we are ​now? 2. Where do we need to go? 3. How do we get there? 4. How to lead and manage the above? 5. Why not?show more

Today, we’re pulling back more of the curtain on... the in-house teams and technology that will bring the Ford Universal Electric Vehicle to life. More than half of our aero team came from the Formula 1 world, where air is either your greatest ally or most punishing enemy - and every curve matters. From the sculpted roofline to the underbody, our teams are chasing physics in search of longer range and lower cost for our customers. Our new mid-size electric truck’s aerodynamic efficiency is more than 15% better than any other pickup truck on the market today. “To the air, it’s no longer a truck”. From a zonal architecture and 48V low-voltage system, to the new in-house E-Box, and smaller and lighter wire harnesses, the team is obsessing over every detail with UEV. Our aim is to have a family of vehicles that we expect to compete on price with the best in the world, including gas vehicles. And they will be FUN to drive!show more

GM CT 🌤🔥🚀💖 💡AMA on AI Scoring for Marketing,... Sales & Customer Service in Crypto industry Set as REMINDER and JOIN the AMA ⬇️ L-Bank Arabic AMA post ⬇️ The crypto community has been the biggest group of AI users in the space. To implement, invest in, and maximize the best AI apps and platforms, scoring will take you to the next level. It helps you as a user, and helps your product + business operations as founders & project owners. 💡Why this matters in Crypto 2026: 1. Bots > humans on platforms. Scoring separates signal from noise. 2. Low quality of sales and marketing team recruitments 3. Prop firms, DEXs, L2s all use AI scoring now. If you don’t, you’re farming bots, not users. 3. Bad scoring = wasted marketing $$ + angry real users. Good scoring = 3x conversion. 💡Why this works for the crypto community: 1. Speaks to the pain: “Sybils”, “airdrop farmers”, “gas wasted”, “wasted narratives” "wasted marketing and service event campaigns" 2. 3 angles in 1: Users feel included, founders get ROI, agent devs get the tech 3. Project angle: Ties back to trading, prop trading, legit KOLs + partnerships, and measuring real liquidity + AI product fit from the user’s point of view 4. Rapid Community's KPI target achieved 🎯 For Ambassador Lead Management, Community Management Lead - Assessment & Results, Project Management Lead, for Hiring, Collaboration & Partnerships ⬇️ Please subscribe or DM me.show more

A ton of people on this app claim to... be Andrew Tate’s top marketer But have they been vouched by Andrew Tate AND Luc Tate on multiple occasions? Has Luc told everyone to ‘read this 100 times’ to a lesson they wrote? NEVER, in reality, 99% of them were just affiliates that barely made any money marketing for him or had a few good days here and there and then decided to claim that they were a top marketer lol And they ALL know that I was the #1 marketer because they learnt from me or through someone else that has learnt from me I was the first guy to come into the marketing group in 2022 at age 13 and run up a Tate account to 500k followers, 80M+ views in the FIRST month… Causing everyone to ask me questions, copying my style, to the point where where Luc took me on personally and I was giving out free lessons in the group constantly I was constantly hitting $2k+ days, some days even $20k+ when we were running FOMO marketing campaigns I am one of the biggest pioneers of clipping so I can instantly spot BS clipping advice when I see it and I am not shy to call it out… And I’ve seen TOO MUCH clipping slop on X recently, which is why I’m back to show everyone how to actually do this properly Clipping is the most profitable form of marketing when done right and I will drop ALL of the sauce in my new clipping telegram channel: Get in ASAP before I make it privateshow more

It takes GRIT and sacrifice to play Div 1... Soccer. Self reflect and ask yourself these questions: 1. Will you get up for early AM lifts and not just drag yourself there but arrive happy and energized, eager to work and motivate your teammates? 2. Are you ready to miss family events—weddings, birthdays and be separated from your parents for longer than you ever have before? 3. Can you manage every aspect of your life for the first time by yourself, before you even throw in the rigors and demands of a sport? 4. Can you survive in an environment where you are defined by your sport and have very little social life existence outside of athletic and academic obligations? 5. Can you handle the mental challenge of going from the super star to possibly bottom of the roster, sitting on the bench, and/or not traveling with the team? 6. Will you be genuinely happy for your roommate who is getting all the playing time and attention while you’re getting none? If all answers are a resounding YES than you are built for this, but it’s not for everyone. And actually not for most. If it was easy, everyone would be doing it.
