"This is not a product category." "They're not actually going to work on this." "They're going to acquihire themselves to somebody." When Christina Cacioppo (Christina Cacioppo) first pitched her startup in 2018, investors couldn't believe anyone would want to build compliance software. Eight years later, Vanta works with 16K+ customers from Lovable to Icelandair, earning a $4.2B valuation. Now, she faces the opposite question: With AI, can't anyone build this? How does Vanta stay ahead of a new wave of hype-y startups? "I subscribe to the 'never let them see you blink' school of thought, she tells me. On The Upstarts Podcast, Cacioppo shares how she created value in a sleepy category; how she prioritizes “infinity things” as a startup unicorn CEO; and why when it comes to good security hygiene, we could all spend more time brushing our teeth. Plus, she shares her Upstart Moment: working to re-think, and future-proof, Vanta's software business in the face of powerful AI models.

Anthony Kim’s impressive comeback today meant he got to fulfill a dream of having his daughter and wife run onto the green to celebrate with him. He spoke about what it meant after the victory in Adelaide: “Best moment of my life so far. “Obviously when Bella was born, Emily and my life changed. But to be able to share this moment, even though Bella won't understand it, one day she will, and for her to be able to run on the green and see her dad isn't a loser was one of the most special moments of my life.” AK’s story is well publicised. His battles with mental health and addiction led him into some deep, dark holes. But his return to glory is one of the greatest comebacks the sport has ever seen. So, what will he tell his daughter about his journey? “I will tell her that before she came into this world that I didn't feel any purpose in my life. Whether you have a lot of money, whether you have a lot of success in your life, you still can feel lonely and feel like the world is against you, and that's in your own mind because I had a lot of people rooting for me. Obviously you saw out there how many people were rooting for me. “But I just want her to know that no matter how bad your day is, if you keep fighting, you never lose. “Hopefully she takes that with her for the rest of her life.” And now that AK has won again, how is he planning to celebrate? “I might actually watch the movie "Frozen." I don't know, man. I didn't plan this far. I planned to be contending to win golf tournaments, but I haven't gotten this far. “But I'm going to enjoy my time here in Australia. We're going to be here for two more days and we're going to go see the kangaroos and the koalas, maybe some giraffes. So that's my fun.” AK’s comeback after struggles with mental health and addiction is a truly incredible story that will resonate with a lot of people. Especially with how the birth of his daughter has helped give him purpose in life. His play on the golf course today was inspiring, but his transformation off it is even more so.

Woke up today on the 12th of this month and I figured it’s time to move on from Superman! Im no super human… I cry ! I struggle! I feel like everyone else. Through the lies, the media and the hate I still show love and Smile Through The Storm. But now Im taking off the cape and retiring from all basketball to pour into my family and give back to communities worldwide. I know some of you might think I thought he already “retired” but I didn’t… the game retired me! I still had more left to give ! Yeah I did play professionally for 20 years and Im grateful to be able to say that but I can’t lie seeing these other players still going at it at age 40 inspired me to want to keep trying but now I believe my duty will be to pass it down to the next generation . So Thank you to all my fans and supporters throughout this journey I love and appreciate yall dearly because without yall it would be no me! Also thank you to the Naysayers, the haters, the snakes, and people that came into my life to try to destroy me. Because everytime yall did …it only made me stronger. When my documentary releases this year the world will know the truth about EVERYTHING! Then you will see how the sheltered little boy from college park Georgia who went to the same school from pre-k to 12th grade then straight to the NBA was taken advantage of by the world. But through it all still managed to keep SMILING 🙏🏾😁 & Since I didn’t get a chance to ever have a farewell tour I decided to create a tour not for fans to appreciate me but for me to appreciate them for supporting me all these years and giving me a reason to smile doing what I love Every 12th of the month from now on will be D12 day where I visit cities all over the world and do acts of kindness for random to people to give them a reason to Smile 😊 Let me know where yall want to see me give back ⬇️ Production 🎥🔥: Kevin von Puttkammer @quowavy @mu_reaaal #nba #basketball #retirement

I paid Alex & Leila Hormozi $5,000 for their 2-day scaling workshop. Why? To grow my business from $6 million to $12 million in 2025. These 12 lessons from the event will help me get there: 1. The fastest-moving entrepreneurs are obsessive resource allocators. Similar to investors, they seek the best risk-adjusted returns with the resources they have. The main resources of the business are: • Time (of the team) • Attention (of the team) • And capital (of the business) So resource allocation is: • Aligning attention on the most important thing • Properly allocating everyone’s time to achieve that thing the fastest • Strategically investing capital to accelerate the outcome or increase its likelihood of achievement 2. $3m to $10m in EBITDA is where the majority of the value in a business is created. $3m in EBITDA likely gets a 1x multiple, so $3m of enterprise value. The process of going to $10m (when done well), not only 3.3x’s the EBITDA, but can take the multiple from 1 to 4 -> which is a 13.2x return. The EV goes from $3m to $40m, and that is the stage we are in right now as a business. 3. LTV:CAC are two metrics you must have staring at you and constantly audited. LTV = lifetime value of the customer CAC = customer acquisition cost The scope of calculating those is beyond this write-up, but basically you want this metric to be ~8:1 or higher when aggressively scaling a service-based business. On top of that, these are the only two metrics that you can “improve” in your business → either making customers worth more or reducing the cost to acquire them. You should be able to tie every project on your list directly to the improvement of one of these metrics. 4. We need a single dashboard with the most important metrics in the business. The quality of the dashboard is: • How many people use it on a daily basis • And how clearly they can connect their performance to the performance of the main numbers on the dashboard. We have data thrown about across Airtable, Google Sheets, and various Slack channels. Now, it’s time to unite them such that we can make even better decisions as a team. 5. Leveling up in business is transitioning from selling to people to selling to employees. In the beginning, you are the one creating all of the value. Over time, you will replace yourself out of certain functions that are customer-facing (if you are approaching business correctly). However, your job then becomes selling to your employees to spark their highest performance and retain them. 6. Brand is the best way to improve LTV and reduce CAC at the same time. It makes it cheaper to acquire customers since you have fixed media expenses (just labor) but unlimited upside in the number of eyeballs you can reach. It increases LTV because the continued content you create makes customers likely to keep purchasing because they associate the good content with the purchase they made, whether it’s free content or not. 7. Every single thing in your business is trainable, you just lack the skill of training. Seeing their presentations, their handshakes, the way they repeat the question back to the audience, it was so clear that Alex & Leila did this first, then obsessively role-played and drilled each person on their performance until it was indistinguishable from theirs. 8. The people doing it at the highest level of an obsessive, intentional standard. It was so evident the way these employees conducted themselves that they: • Loved working there • Loved the culture of high performance • And had been trained with extreme repetition and attention to detail 9. Past $3-5m in revenue, anything “new” starts with “who” not “how.” I made the mistake last year of trying to “bootstrap” our cold ads initiative (while continuing to run the rest of the business & sales team). I spent roughly ~200 hours on this throughout the year, which took time away from both my content and the management of the sales team. But for whatever reason, I thought I “had” to be the one who got it off the ground, then handed it off to a new hire or media buyer. But I had the sequence flipped. I should have spent the first 50 hours finding a world-class director of paid marketing, someone with far more experience than me building out a cold traffic acquisition system. Heck, I could have even spent 200 hours on it and ended up with a far greater return than I ended up with. 10. Excellence is a remarkably high number of extremely small details done well. Throughout the workshop, I paid close attention to the event operations, taking notes on how to run a great in-person event in case we wanted to do so in the future. Several things stood out that were clearly “iterations” from prior events, all based around eliminating the small, annoying parts of attending any kind of seminar. • High-quality food • Greeters at the door • Clear bathroom signs • A barista for fresh coffee • WiFi signs posted everywhere • Constant 15-minute breaks every 90 minutes The list goes on and on. 11. Any change you make in a business you should expect a 20% “decrease” in performance to start. That makes the hurdle rate to doing “new” at least 20% for it to be worth it, and arguably 40%. This happens because the switching cost leads to an immediate drop just from having to retrain the team. Change a meeting cadence, change a sales script, change an onboarding flow, all of these are going to come with a switching cost the team must overcome. Therefore, the highest risk-adjusted return is always to just do more or better or whatever you’re already doing, rather than add something new. 12. The ultimate size of the business is the sum of the intelligence of its people. Alex laid out this golden nugget during one of his talks and I found it interesting for a few reasons. First, because of his definition of intelligence = speed of learning, that means the ultimate size of the company is how quickly everyone can learn things. And so said another way, the ultimate size of the company is correlated to the speed of its iterations. The second reason I found this interesting is because you can create a culture of iteration through constant, rapid feedback on every behavior. And when I say constant, I mean constant. You could tell they’ve built this culture by the way their presenters all presented the exact same way as Alex and Leila. Aaand that’s it! I go deeper into all these lessons in this video, check it out: Timestamps 00:37 The Fastest Moving Entrepreneurs Are Obsessive Resource Allocators 04:09 $3m To $10m EBITDA Is Where The Majority Of The Value In A Business Is Created 07:00 LTV:CAC Are Two Metrics You Must Have Staring At You 10:04 You Need A Single Dashboard With The Most Important Metrics In The Business 12:03 Leveling Up In Business Is Transitioning To Selling To People To Selling To Employees 14:10 Brand Is The Best Way To Improve LTV And Reduce CAC At The Same Time 16:02 Every Single Thing In Your Business Is Trainable, You Just Lack The Skill Of Training 18:54 The People Doing It At The Highest Level Have An Obsessive, Intentional Standard 20:04 Past $3-5m In Revenue, Anything "New" Starts With "Who" Not "How" 23:33 Excellence Is A Remarkably High Number Of Extremely Small Details Done Well 26:23 Any Change You Make In A Business You Should Expect A 20% "Decrease" In Performance To Start 28:07 The Ultimate Size Of The Business Is The Sum Of The Intelligence Of It's People

Ferris State HC Tony Annese - GT Counter Triple Option - Quarterback Fundamentals... Catch the ball and make a 1/8th turn to face the DE you are reading. Stab the ball back off of your back hip. Mesh with the RB while reading the DE. The DE must squeeze hard enough to tackle the RB in order for you to pull the ball. If he does pull and seed the ball at your chest. Attack the pitch key's outside shoulder (1st man outside the tackle box). If he darts to the slot keep the ball. If he stays with you, pitch the ball and avoid the hit. -Running Back Fundamentals... Take 2 shuffle steps for depth (almost like a OT pass set). Wait for the ball to be brought back to you. Once it is, track behind your pullers making sure to keep a big pocket so the QB can get a good mesh. Once you get the ball follow your pulling tackle and fit off of his block. Get upfield at the first opportunity. -Slot Fundamentals... The motion timing is on the slot on this play. Motion as late as possible to still get in pitch position (we would try to motion at the snap on this play but depending on how fast each slot is they may have to cheat it a bit). Motion at the QB's heals and run full speed. Once you get into pitch phase yell for the ball to let the QB know you are there and stay in pitch phase till you get the ball. -Perimeter Blocking - On this play we will switch block with our WR and Slot. That means the WR is going to block the high safety and the Slot will block the corner. We leave the OLB as the pitch key. We still want to make sure we are square to the man we are blocking so the slot will go flat down the LOS until he gets to the same vertical plane as the corner and then he will climb to block him.

Nathan rolled up 11 tiny (<$1M EBITDA) HVAC companies, paying low 3x multiples. Now PE is interested in buying the group, and Nathan is already planning to do it all over again. “I see a lot of opportunity in taking these really small mom-and-pop shops and building them up to the lower end of what a PE firm would be interested in acquiring. You can pick them up at 3x, sell them at 10x and repeat that process over and over.” But this story almost ended before it began... After acquiring his first two companies with an SBA loan, Nathan watched revenue collapse, burned through his cash, nearly lost his father's retirement savings and came dangerously close to bankruptcy. The turning point was a complete rethink of incentives, compensation and how to build an acquisition platform that actually compounds. Give it a listen. I hope you appreciate Nathan Lindley extreme transparency on everything, even him sharing how he overcame daily stress through drinking and how, to this day, he is still paying down his SBA note of $8,500 a month… Year six of 10 years on that. It’s very hard out there.

"Remdesivir [is] also known as 'Run Death is Near'...And this is one of the keys to how the pandemic was pulled off; how it was made to look like there was a deadly, contagious pandemic going on...[when] there was [actually] an epidemic of...doctors murdering people..." Medical whistleblower, author, and former medical coder Zowe Smith (Sheldon Diedericks) describes for Charles Kovess (Charles Kovess) et al. how remdesivir, a highly toxic antiviral "medication" produced by pharma giant Gilead (at least ostensibly), was used to create an epidemic of acute kidney failure in hospitals. In some sense, Smith describes how remdesivir was used as a sleight of hand to make it seem like "COVID" was causing kidney failure, and therefore was far deadlier than the disease (whatever its cause) actually was. "Your doctor, during the pandemic, was told that COVID-19 causes pneumonia, [to] run X-rays, and check for pneumonia," Smith explains. "Your doctor was also told by the National Kidney Foundation...that [COVID] causes kidney failure. So your doctor [thought] that if you [got]COVID, you [would] develop pneumonia and you [would] develop acute kidney injury, which is another way of saying kidney failure without the chronic portion. So it's acute. It comes on in a short period of time. That is what your doctor thought the disease process of COVID-19 was going to do without any sort of intervention." Smith goes on to say, "they screen[ed] patients—If patients had poor kidney function to begin with, they would be disqualified. If they thought that the kidneys could withstand the drug, they told the patient, 'We will monitor kidney function. And if your kidney function drops while you're being infused with this drug, we will pull the drug, and that will be that.'" However, Smith says, that is not what happened. She explains: "As they gave remdesivir...it caused acute kidney injury; the kidneys are responsible for maintaining fluid balance in the body, cleaning the blood, but also maintaining fluid balance. So when your kidneys begin to fail and you can't urinate, the fluid backs up. It tends to back up in the abdomen first. That's the first place doctors are going to look for that fluid. It's called ascites, generally, and it can sometimes get up into the chest cavity. It can go through the diaphragm and get into the chest cavity." Smith highlights two side-by-side X-rays, one showing a person diagnosed with pulmonary edema [a condition characterized by an abnormal accumulation of fluid in the air sacs] and one with so-called "COVID-19 pneumonia." They look "almost identical," Smith notes. She further expounds on what happened, highlighting the involvement of ventilators to "finish off" patients diagnosed with "COVID-19 pneumonia." "This is how physicians thought that everything that they were doing was just trying to treat the disease process, which was COVID-19, which causes kidney failure and leads to pneumonia...then they would put you on a ventilator when you developed pneumonia [to] finish you off. This is how your doctor thought that nothing that they were doing was causing this. This was just the disease process of COVID-19. However, remdesivir led itself into other organ failure and COVID pneumonia, which then qualified patients to be put on ventilators who were then given a deadly concoction of more drugs, which further shut down their system, and it was a death sentence that very few people escaped from." Smith goes on to show an infographic put together by electrical engineer and citizen investigator John Beaudoin (John Beaudoin, Sr., The Real CdC, The Last Boomer). "This is the best infographic on how the hospital protocols actually worked out and the timing, which I find really interesting, especially after we've gone over the timing of that [hospital payment] bonus [for] remdesivir [kicking in on] August 1st of 2020." "You can see there's a big, dark red line at the end of 2020, and that is when the line starts to go up of increased acute kidney injury excess deaths," Smith says. "So another important important piece of information a lot of people are not aware of—acute kidney injury happens in hospitals quite frequently. That's why this [line in the graph] is already not at zero, and it didn't just go up in 2020; it's very common for them to give you drugs that will shut down your kidneys while in the hospital. These are some serious drugs that they give you while you're in there. But at the end of 2020, you can see that it began to slightly tick up, and that coincided with the new tech bonus [the hospital payment bonus to use remdesivir], which was rolled out." Finally, Smith highlights a particularly disturbing pattern: this murder protocol (my term) was deployed with particularly high frequency on hospital patients who chose not to get a COVID injection. "I believe in 2020, at the very beginning, when it was a ghost town, and we didn't have that many cases...we [began] to open up society and everyone [was] required to mask everywhere, which made them sicker, that's about the time that the new [hospital payment] bonus [for remdesivir] was rolled out [and] that's about the time that acute kidney injury excess deaths began to go up. And then in 2021, when the vaccine was rolled out, you see that number just goes exponential, and it gets out of control. And that coincided...with the vaccine that came out in 2021. And as the movie Vaxxed 3: Authorized to Kill points out, patients that were unvaccinated were being discriminated against, and they were being targeted for these protocols."

3 Weeks ago today it was announced I was no longer with FanDuelTV. For practical reasons and quite honestly, emotional ones, I stayed off Social Media since then. However, during that time friends would forward me some of the incredibly kind posts so many of you made. I’ve now had a chance to look through all of them, and I’m humbled and grateful to my core. Also, many of you ‘slid into my DMs’, each of you will be getting a response from me. Thank You. When you give 26 years and 8 months to something, it is heartening to know that dedication was appreciated by those you worked alongside and those who watched and listened. My greatest reward has always been the immensely talented people I’ve been privileged to work with and the viewers I’ve been able to connect with. In a Sport that leans heavily into stats, Two significant numbers for me during my time at TVG/FanDuelTV are: *1,022,434 Miles Flown *2,112 Hotel Stays When you fly enough miles to circumnavigate the World 41 times, spend nearly six years in Hotel Room stays, not to mention the countless miles driven; all in pursuit of Broadcasting the amazing Sport of Horse Racing, you can’t do it without the Love, Support and sacrifice of your Family and Friends. It is why I understand as John Mellencamp once wrote: “My Family and Friends are the best thing I’ve known, through the eye of a needle I’ll carry them Home…” And through all the travels and the Broadcasts, an amazing blessing happened; I got to meet many of you, the TVG viewers. This has given me more friends than I could ever imagine. On-air you’ve learned some of my Life’s Story and when I met you in-person I was privileged to learn yours. The viewer has always been my North Star, and making a connection with you through all the Broadcasts or in-person has been the reward of a Lifetime. It is that connection that will never go away, it will always be. I never liked to look back at a Broadcast I was on and critique how I felt about it. To me, that was always up to the Viewer. There have been innumerable moments we have shared together, but there are Two I’m asked about the most: One, wrestling Jerry ‘The King’ Lawler. (Which is a phenomenal behind the scenes story I’ll tell one day.) Two, is my Closing Words for the Final Day of Racing at Hollywood Park. Whenever I was given the responsibility to do a Close to a show, there was never a script, it was ideas I’d write and then try and present in a way all the shows I worked on would be; a conversation with you. In other words, I always got to speak from the Heart. I speak from the Heart now when I tell you how grateful I am for all the years I’ve had a platform to speak with you on TVG. In lieu of an on-air Goodbye, I believe that day at Hollywood Park covers all the sentiments I feel now and about this ending. (I’ve attached it to this post.) With one caveat, this is not goodbye forever, it is goodbye for now. I’m going to take a short break from Social Media, but I will re-join the conversation about the World of Horse Racing which has been my Community since I was a teenager, in short order. To that point, my next on-air appearance will be with my Broadcast Family LEX News for KY Oaks and Kentucky Derby a role I’ve enjoyed for 18 years. Beyond that, we’ll see. Most importantly, our connection will endure. And for all you have given me, I can only hope I’ve been worthy of your time. In the end time is our greatest Gift and my time at TVG has left me with nothing but immense gratitude - Todd T. Schrupp

The moral obligation of great design: A call to arms by @ThisIsBobBaxley Bob has designed products used by billions of people over his 35-year career at Apple, Pinterest, Yahoo, and ThoughtSpot. During his eight years at Apple, he led design for the online store and the App Store, and witnessed the iPhone’s transformative launch while working under Steve Jobs. Bob champions the obligation designers have to reduce frustration in people’s daily lives. "I don't think many people working in the industry understand the scale of what they're doing. Software, both for the audience and for the creators, is an anonymous medium. The products we're building are just these crazy, faceless things created by a bunch of people, you know, who knows where. We never see anybody on the other side of the glass. It's very hard to really understand that we're creating something in Figma on their computer that's going to be interacted with by billions of people, thousands and thousands of times. People don't want to try to figure out how to navigate our login screens or go through our onboarding process. They just wanna get home and spend time with their families and pet their dogs and have a nice dinner." Bob also has some other spicy takes: 🔸 Why design should report to engineering, not product 🔸 The “Beatles principle”—why the best products come from teams of 4 to 6, not 40 to 60 🔸 Why you need design tenets, not principles (with real examples) 🔸 Why you should delay sketching and prototyping as long as possible 🔸 Why software is fundamentally a medium, like film or music 🔸 Much more Listen now 👇 • YouTube: • Spotify: • Apple: 🏆 This entire episode is brought to you by Stripe—helping companies of all sizes grow revenue:

Rick Rubin: "Make what you love, not what you think people will like" "If you want to live in a creative way, which will benefit everything in your life, be a better person in your family, do a better job starting a new business, it's all the same. I don't really know anything about music. It's more a way of looking at the world and wanting it to be the best it could possibly be. And doing whatever it takes to be the best it could possibly be." Rubin shares how his career happened: "From the beginning, I never thought any of the things I'm doing were possible or realistic. I just did things out of the love of them, thinking I would have real jobs. That my passion would be my hobby, and I'd have a job to support my hobby. And it just magically turned out different than that without me knowing it was possible." On why some things connect and others don't: "The stars line up at certain times for certain things to happen. Sometimes you can make something great, and it doesn't connect for whatever reason. Sometimes you make two things you think are the two best things you've ever made. One of them connects with the world. One of them doesn't. And it might not have anything to do with what's in the art. It might be that it came out the same day as something else. Or there was a bigger story at the time. There's so much to it that we don't understand." He continues: "All we can do is make something good and put it out and hope for the best. That's all there is. We never know why things work. Even if you make a piece of art and it works, you may not know why." On talent versus work ethic: "There are a lot of talented people who never make it because they don't have the work ethic. It's not just talent, talent's a piece. And you could argue for some people, the work ethic trumps the talent." Rubin explains what real collaboration is: "Having worked with a lot of bands, I see there's often this friction where people are trying to get their idea in. That's not a collaboration. A real collaboration is when everyone who's there is working together towards whatever is the best thing for the whole. Whether it's your idea or someone else's idea, it doesn't matter. If you're invested in the collaboration, you want the best idea to win. You don't want your idea to win." On what makes art great: "What makes it great is the personal. With all of its imperfections. With all of its quirkiness. That's what makes it great. How you see the world that's different from how everyone else sees the world. That's why you're an artist. That's your purpose in sharing your work with the world." He warns against being derivative: "There are these derivative voices where they're finding what they think other people want to hear, and they start saying it because they've heard other people say similar things that are now successful. Even if they have some short-term success doing that, it's not revolutionary. It doesn't change the world. It doesn't last. The people who you first see and you might not like that you come to like because you don't understand them at first, those are the ones that change the world. Those are the ones you dedicate your fandom to for life." Rubin shares his philosophy on taste: "You can't second-guess your own taste for what someone else is going to like. We're not smart enough to know what someone else is going to like. To make something thinking, 'Well, I don't really like it, but I think this group of people will like it,' it's a bad way to play the game of music or art. You have to do what's personal to you. Take it as far as you can go. Really push the boundaries. And people will resonate with it if they're supposed to resonate with it." He describes creativity as catching waves: "We're really talking about magic. The universe conspiring on our behalf if we let it. Being in this flow of catching these waves that anyone can catch. If you're trying to catch it, you're open to it, you see it coming, you take off on every chance you get. And sometimes the ride happens. It's remarkable how it happens. It doesn't come from preconception. It's not an idea. It's through the doing." Rubin explains how ideas exist in the universe: "Have you ever had that experience where you have an idea for something, you don't do it, and then six months later you see someone else has done it? It's not because they took your idea. It's that it's time for that, and you can act on it or not. The best artists are the ones who have the best antenna for this material that's available. It's coming through. The best comedians see the best jokes. They see them coming. We all live in the same world; the way you see it, you have the best joke because you see it best." He closes with how to stay open: "If we listen to what's going on around us, you can overhear a conversation in a coffee shop, and it is the setup for an idea you're working on. You hear a phrase you don't commonly use. My experience is: when you are open and looking for these clues in the world, they're happening all the time. And they're happening often right when you need them."

.Ladder was my first angel investment, made entirely on trust in Tom Digan when I had no idea what I was doing in venture. What followed is one of the most unlikely and dramatic business stories I've been part of. Today, Ladder is the number one strength training app approaching $100M in ARR with over 300K members. But it should have died several times and survived through sheer force of will from Tom and CEO Greg Stewart. Tom left a lucrative hedge fund career and moved his family to Austin. He raised money from me, my family and his friends. Tom talks about how when you take money from people that close to you, you have to know deep down that you're willing to do whatever it takes. During the early years, they were in constantly in debt with no customers and no sign of PMF. They celebrated raising $10k checks at night while negotiating with creditors and rebuilding the product during the day. Greg describes copying thousands of App Store reviews into Word documents and color-coding them by theme to know exactly what feature to build next. He talks about going into what he calls a "cave process," disappearing to study a single problem until he masters it. He spent months cracking TikTok with no background, dissecting every minute detail -- the hook in the first three seconds, what the coach was wearing, the gym setting -- to grow from $3M to nearly $100M in ARR in four years. Ladder is becoming the operating system for health and fitness, but this conversation is about how hard it really is to build something valuable, told by two people who were willing to do absolutely anything to make it work.

Microsoft just lost $357 billion in a single day... While Meta gained $170 billion. Both companies are spending over $100 billion on AI this year. One got punished. One got rewarded. The difference tells you everything about where this market is heading: Microsoft reported Wednesday. Beat on revenue. Beat on earnings. Revenue up 17%. EPS up 24%. But the stock dropped 10% - worst decline since March 2020. Why? Azure cloud growth came in at 39%. The Street wanted 39.4%. A miss of 0.4 percentage points erased a third of a trillion dollars. Meanwhile, capex jumped 89% year-over-year to $37.5B in a single quarter. CFO Amy Hood admitted two-thirds went to "short-lived assets" - GPUs that depreciate fast. And Microsoft also said they'll remain "capacity constrained through at least the end of our fiscal year." In other words: "We're spending $72B in six months and STILL can't build data centers fast enough." But that's not the real problem... The real problem is what's happening inside Microsoft's spending. They're not just building infrastructure for Azure customers. They're allocating scarce GPUs to their own products: M365 Copilot, GitHub Copilot, internal R&D. Hood said they must "balance Azure revenue growth with growing needs across first-party apps and AI solutions." Microsoft is competing with its own cloud customers for compute capacity. If they'd allocated all new GPUs to Azure, growth would've exceeded 40%. Instead, they're betting their own AI products will generate more value than selling raw compute. That bet hasn't paid off yet. And 45% of their $625B backlog is tied to ONE customer: OpenAI. Now compare that to Meta: Revenue beat. Earnings beat. Guidance crushed expectations. And they announced $115-135B in AI capex for 2026 - nearly DOUBLE what they spent in 2025. The stock surged 10%. Why the opposite reaction? Meta is seeing immediate returns. Ad impressions up 18%. Average price per ad up 6%. Revenue up 24% year-over-year. Their AI investment is already showing up in the core business TODAY. Better ad targeting. Better recommendations. Better engagement. Q1 revenue guidance came in at $53.5-56.5B - Wall Street expected $51.4B. That's 30% revenue growth ACCELERATION. When you have 3.58B daily active users, AI improvements compound immediately. Zuckerberg called it a "major AI acceleration" and Wall Street didn't care about the $135B spending number. Because they can SEE the connection between spending and revenue. Here's what matters: The hyperscalers are now spending over $600B combined on AI infrastructure in 2026. AI assets depreciate at roughly 20% per year. The five hyperscalers face annual depreciation expenses approaching $400B - MORE than their combined profits in 2025. This is the biggest capital spending cycle in history. And we just entered Phase 3, where AI-enabled revenue models must finally prove their worth. The market stopped rewarding spending. It's rewarding RETURNS. Meta showed returns. Microsoft showed constraints and margin compression. That's why we saw a $527B swing between two companies reporting on the same day. My read: The easy money in the AI trade is over. From here, execution matters more than ambition. Companies that can turn infrastructure spending into measurable productivity gains get rewarded. Companies still building without clear payback get punished - even when they beat estimates. Microsoft isn't a bad company. It's a company that bet big on AI infrastructure and is now scrambling to show ROI before margins collapse further. Meta isn't necessarily a better AI company. It just has a business model where AI improvements translate directly to revenue growth. For investors, the lesson is clear: The AI infrastructure phase is maturing. Winners from here will be companies with clear paths from spending to earnings. Not companies asking you to trust the process while margins compress.

BREAKING - MUST WATCH: This was perhaps the most EXPLOSIVE exchange today between Dr. Anthony Fauci and Congressman Rich McCormick (Congressman Rich McCormick, MBA MD), a medical doctor who treated patients during COVID but was censored for pointing out the science. He told Fauci, "You said in an interview that you gave as part of an audiobook written by Michael Specter that you believed institutions should make it hard for people to live their lives so they'd feel pressured to get vaccinated." WATCH Question: Someone said only politicians, only bloggers, only conspiracy theorists are disagreeing with you. I want to point out that I'm probably the only member of Congress that actually treated patients during the pandemic. From the very beginning to the very end of the pandemic, during night shifts in the ER, thousands of patients during that time and in 2020 I was censored. My medical license was threatened because I disagreed with bureaucrats, literally taken off the Internet as a person who is treating patients with leading edge technologies, developing theories, but doing my very best, but being censored by the United States government for the first time, stepping in and taking the place of medical professionals as the experts in healthcare. Any dissent surrounding COVID-19 treatments, mask mandates, and any public policy surrounding the pandemic was immediately labeled as anti-science. I watched as public health officials and politicians told my patients what treatment options were best for them, regardless of their comorbidities or their medical history. Despite my education and my training and my experience, my opinions were relegated to conspiracy and misinformation by so-called healthcare experts who had never treated a patient throughout the entire pandemic. This has been a black eye on the medicine and has highlighted why government should never, never insert itself in between patients and their healthcare providers. The American people deserve to make medical decisions through conversations with their physicians rather than politically motivated mandates. Question: Doctor Fauci, did you ever treat a patient for COVID during the pandemic? Answer: I was part of a team that was at the NIH that took care. We didn't take care of many of them. Question: Okay, so not hands-on. Got it. Thank you. Why would I be criticized by a bureaucrat for doing my very best as a healthcare professional? This is a rhetorical question, but why? Why would the government, who has never treated a patient for COVID... You can read all the things you want, but you're not there. You're not seeing patients. You're not watching people die. Intubating patients right there with that disease in your face, watching it happen, watching the development of this disease and actually learning from it. But I'm being told by bureaucrats what's right and wrong. And what's funny is everything I was censored on, I was proven to be right. Pretty crazy, isn't it? Question: You said in an interview that you gave as part of an audiobook written by Michael Specter that you believed institutions should make it hard for people to live their lives so they'd feel pressured to get vaccinated. Could we run the audio clip on that, please? Answer: You think it can be done about it. I have to say that I don't see a big solution other than some sort of mandatory. I know federal officials don't like to use that term. Once people feel empowered and protected legally, you are going to have schools, universities, and colleges are going to say, you want to come to this college, buddy? You're going to get vaccinated, lady. You're going to get vaccinated. Big corporations like Amazon and Facebook and all of those others are going to say, you want to work for us? You get vaccinated. And it's been proven that when you make it difficult for people in their lives, they lose their ideological bullshit and they get vaccinated. Thank you. Question: Are all objections to COVID vaccinations ideological bullshit, Doctor Fauci? Answer: No, they're not. And that's not what I was referring to. Question: Well, in reference to making it hard for people to get education, traveling, working, I'd say it very much was in context, and I take great offense to this. Miss Allison Williams testified before this committee about losing her job because she sought an exemption for ESPN's vaccine mandate, which came from recommendations from bureaucrats like yourself. She and her husband were actively working with a fertility expert, a physician, on how to get pregnant, and agreed with the premise that she was young, healthy, wanted to get pregnant, and shouldn't get the vaccination for medical purposes. But she was fired because you made it hard, just like you said in your statement, because you didn't want to make sure that the ideological bullshit got in the way of her working, of living her life, of making a medical decision with her healthcare professional. I think America should take great offense to this. That's exactly what you meant when you said making it hard for people to live without getting a vaccination. You affected people's ability to work, travel, be educated, to actually flourish in American society, to self-determine as we're all given God-given rights. Shame on you, Doctor Fauci. You've become doctor of fear. Americans do not hate science. I don't hate science. The American people hate having their freedoms taken from them. You inspired and created fear through mask mandates, school closures, vaccine mandates that have destroyed the American people's trust in our public health institutions. This fear you created will continue to have ripple effects over generations to come. You have already seen its effects in education, in the economy, and everything else, quite frankly.

Sharing for Emmie. What a beautiful dog . The ending is so heartbreaking. It’s a little longer but worth it. “…….on January 22, 2026, our 7 year old golden retriever with terminal cancer woke up and couldn't walk. After bringing her to the vet, we got the call that she wouldn't live to see the next morning and at best, we had hours. There was so much pressure to determine how we would spend these last hours. Perry's Steak House in Short Pump, Virginia invited Emmie to dinner for her last meal and an incredible experience. She had a line of people to pet her and love on her from employees to strangers and even the head chef. She ate the best food one could eat like steak, her very own custom cake, a bone and even chocolate that was flombayed in front of her. She had her own sparkling water, server and a beautiful spot by the fire. She enjoyed a stunning sunset, a brand new bed and blanket that they allowed us to bring in. She had an honor walk through the restaurant. The last time she walked on this earth. This was beyond what we ever could have imagined. The reservation was even under her name. Instead of tears, staring at her just waiting for her to pass, her last hours were spent happy, joyful and with so much love. We are grateful to the staff and management at Perry's for not only providing these memories for us but for putting it together so last minute and being beyond incredibly patient with all of our needs as Emmie continued to decline even within just the small amount of time that we were there. We will treasure these last moments that we were given and remember them with joy in our hearts. Just 40 minutes after we left the restaurant, Emmie passed peacefully at home surrounded by her family and her favorite cat. Our hearts are shattered into a million pieces, but we simultaneously feel immense peace and gratefulness in our hearts that her last moments were given to her and our family like this. Thank you Perry's for giving our girl the sweetest most special send off to heaven.” This is the second time I’ve heard of Perry’s Steakhouse doing this. What a special restaurant and group of people that work there. You are a beautiful dog Emmie. God bless that family. I hope I can give my dogs the same kind of last hours and day. 💔

The Ultimate "50x Investment Treasure Map" Of Metaverse Crypto My full guide to what I believe will be the easiest 20x+ in investing in the next 2 years +Exactly where I think the biggest easy wins will be (Give a like + comment, 2 will win a $2000 NT Citizen NFT) What people seem to be missing is that AI will completely change how the gaming space works. We will start seeing 3 things primarily -INFINITE games : These are games where AI can endlessly create AAA content, even with a small dev team. -MERGING of game universes : Similar to "Ready Player 1" I see thje world folding into a few BIG metaverses with the games already inside them -AI NFT assets : Right now NFTs dont really make sense because they are stuck to 1 game. In the future NFTs will have the AI modeling data cooked into them allowing ANY game to import LARGE chunks of NFTs and then AI will use the data to model the item into the game effortlessly If you combine all these together, we are going to see much bigger implications to NFTs/In game assets/digital currency as games will become more like giant blobs of many games/worlds with HUNDREDS of different teams working on them with their own AIs building their "part of the world". NFTs will also cross digital planes, giving them far more weight in gaming/metaverse status. NEXT I believe by 2035 MANY people will spend most of their time in VR and connected to AR. This means working, socializing AND gaming. The only way to transact, verify ownership and do business transactions (say paying someone to YOUR AR ad on their shirt) will be via blockchain and NFT tech. Again this will create a huge wave. FINALLY : The main course, the easy X's All the above is cool, but they are long term thesis's. The SHORT term is this The metaverse narrative is building right now. Its a matter of TIME before a game pops off on Twitch that heavily uses NFTs and gets bigger than Axie. I'm talking mainstream use. Once this happens the ENTIRE game crypto market (currently at 8 bil) will sky rocket to at least 100 but more than likely 300-500. Good coins, bad coins, all will blow past old all time highs regardless of merit and we will see a "meme coin" like mania...the pent-ultimate shit coin rally. Anyone who is prepared for this narrative early and gets in when see the makers I discuss on this video can in my opinion hit 20-50x consistently during this time. FYI...If you want the edge here, you should be in NEO Tokyo. Enjoy the vid!

🐾 💔Today, my beloved Tiki, my loyal companion for nearly 18 years, has crossed the rainbow bridge. 🌈 🐾 My heart is shattered, and the depth of my sorrow is beyond words. The void left behind is truly indescribable. We found out in mid-August that Tiki had a cancerous tumor in his lung and there was nothing they could do for him. It would be weeks, not months. It was devastating news. But were weren’t ready to give up on him and Tiki wasn’t ready to go yet either. I’m incredibly grateful to my mom and stepdad for helping us give Tiki the best care possible during his final weeks. Thanks to their tireless efforts, we were able to have a few more weeks with him than anyone expected. They are the best caretakers anyone could ask for. Tiki was such a little warrior through it all, even until his last breath. He held on through our anniversary and my birthday, almost as if he wanted to give me one last celebration with him. But today, he let us know, it was time. Nothing prepares you for their departure from your life, especially when they’ve been a part of it for so long. Tiki was there for every milestone of my life for the last 18 years, most importantly when I first met my husband. Many know the story of how he infamously had to pass the “Tiki Test” when we first starting dating and thankfully he did with flying colors! When Tiki crawled up on his lap the first time he met him, I knew he was the one. Tiki chose him too! They became best buddies. Tiki travelled to so many places with me over the years …from late nights in my Capitol Hill office to our road trips back and forth to Jersey in his Giants gear and trips down the shore, to flying back and forth to the Florida Keys (where my mom originally rescued him from and brought him to me) to Harvard for my resident fellowship, to my first apartment to our first house…Tiki has been a part of it all. So many wonderful memories captured over the years that I will cherish forever. Tiki was the coolest, most extraodinary cat and everyone loved him. Although the time with our four legged family members is never long enough…Tiki’s spirit, unconditional love and the joy he brought to my life and Marcelle’s will live on forever in our hearts. He’ll always be a part of me. Having the “Tikster” as my little buddy for all these years will always be one of my greatest blessings. I know he’s up there in kitty heaven enjoying endless “somethings” and purring away. Even though losing Tiki today feels like a piece of my heart has been taken, I find solace in the belief that one day we will be reunited in heaven, where he will greet me with the same warmth and affection and “kissies” he shared with us in life; until then, I will keep his memory alive, embracing the bond and unconditional love we shared every day.

From sitting 80 T83 with a torn UCL to 87-90 and pain-free in 1.5 years, a coach's post from @jjasonfosterr🔥⁠ ⁠ I started working with Max Moore in the summer of ‘22. At the time, he was a HS senior topping out at 83 with consistent elbow issues. In May of his junior year, he partially tore his UCL and was told by doctors it would heal with rest.⁠ ⁠ After going through a shutdown and rehab phase on his own, we were able to run it up to 86 his senior year, although the elbow was a constant issue.⁠ ⁠ He went back to a different doctor, found out his UCL was still torn, and decided to get full TJ in March of ‘23.⁠ ⁠ During the rehab process, Max made significant progress both physically and mentally. His body weight went from 170 to 190 with the following increases in the weight room:⁠ ⁠ DB Bench 5RM: 60 —> 85⁠ Deadlift 1RM: 295 —> 375⁠ DB Row 8RM: 65 —> 100⁠ ⁠ Max also went through months of what I like to call “the velo yips,” something plenty of guys coming off injury experience. It didn’t matter if his prescribed throwing intensity was 50% or 100%, it all looked like 50%. It felt like max effort to him but there was clearly a mental block there. ⁠ ⁠ Why does this happen? Plenty of reasons - internal pressure, trauma associated with the pain/injury, thousands of social media experts pushing their agendas all day, watching YouTube videos all hours of the night trying to figure out “what’s wrong with me,” but that’s a post for another day.⁠ ⁠ After countless conversations with Max and experimentation within his throwing schedule, we finally decided it was time to get back to playing baseball. Stop worrying about hitting certain metrics in the weight room, stop worrying about rehabbing a healthy arm, and stop trying to “figure out” a made-up problem (yips aren’t real 🤷‍♂️). Go pitch and we’ll see what happens.⁠ ⁠ Max proceeded to hit 89 multiple times in his first outing back, followed by multiple 90s the week after. The best part is seeing how his teammates reacted, knowing how tough this dude is and how much he’s had to push through to get to this point.⁠ ⁠ Foot on the gas, only up from here 🚀⁠ ⁠ -Jason

DON'T LET YOUR BITCOIN DIE WITH YOU 💀 ⚰️ Yea look, nobody likes to admit it but we all have to die one day. As I've been talking to people about their self custody lately - both Casa members and not - I hear the same thing over and over. "What happens if I die?" Many people feel pretty good about their bitcoin security for themselves. But their family members often have no idea how to use this stuff. Hardware wallet? Seed phrase stamped on metal? Shamir's secret sharing backups using SD cards, a passphrase, and a treasure hunt through the backyard with a shovel? 😵 We're solving that problem for all Casa members, starting today with Casa Inheritance. A key design principle we kept while building this was to make it as simple as possible for Recipients (your family members that will receive your bitcoin if you pass), while maintaining Casa-level security. An estate transfer is already a stressful time for family, and it can become even more stressful if you add in a crazy treasure hunt to access a fortune in bitcoin. For our basic 3 key vaults, we wanted it to be as easy as using the app. No metal plates, no need to use a hardware wallet, no magic passwords you have to keep track of or else risk messing up the asset transfer. Simplicity is security. So how does it work, in detail? A Vault Owner (Casa member) designates a Recipient (their family or friend) in the Casa app. The Recipient receives an invite to create a free Casa account. The Recipient scans a QR code provided by the Vault Owner, which contains an encrypted version of the owner's mobile key. This encrypted key is only able to be imported by the Recipient's Casa account, and the Recipient can't initially use it or see the vault balance. If the Vault Owner passes away, the Recipient can request access to the vault in their Casa app. This starts a 6 month timer, and sends a ton of notifications every month to the owner. If the owner is still alive, they can reject the request in app. If they are not, the timer will run out. When it does, the Recipient will be able to use the shared mobile key and the request a signature from the Casa Recovery Key for the shared vault. This gives them 2 out of 3 signatures, enough to access the assets. For 5 key vault users, one hardware key is shared with the Recipient. This small increase in friction for Recipients is often worth it for the increased security and resilience of a 5 key vault for larger holdings. To summarize now that you have the details: 1. Share keys and vault access during setup 2. 6 month timelock to ensure no malicious theft 3. Use shared keys and Casa key to access assets Full setup takes less than 5 minutes. Inheritance is one of the biggest problems in self custody today. If you've hodled through years of painful bear markets, you owe it to yourself and your family to not let the reward for that patience go to zero because you didn't have a plan - and we're here to make that easy. Check out the video to see how easy it really is. Like I said earlier this week - Casa is going after major problems in self-custody this year. Check this one off the list ✅. Next one coming sooner than you think 🔥.

$ASTS | Scott Wisniewski at JP Morgan conference, May 18, 2026 Transcript - part 1 Good afternoon, everyone. I'm Sebastiano Petty, and I cover the telecom, cable, and satellite space here at J.P. Morgan. I'd like to welcome Scott Wisniewski, President and Chief Strategy Offer of ASTS Space Mobile. Scott, thanks for joining us. Thank you for having me. You're good. You're live. Can you hear me? All right. Thank you for having me. Great. So, Scott, just to start, let's zoom out. As you sit here in mid-2026, with Bluebirds launching, commercial service activation approaching, and the government pipeline accelerating, where are you spending most of your time as President and Chief Strategy Officer? And more broadly, what are your two to three highest priority objectives over the next 18 months as you transition from what has primarily been an R&D and manufacturing story into a scaled revenue-generating operating company? Thank you. And for those who don't know us that well, we were founded about a decade ago around the direct-to-device opportunity. That's what we do. That's our entire strategy. It's from space, of course, and we build our own satellites, and we'll be operating them and selling capacity on them. But at its core, we are a direct-to-device pure play. And over the years, I met our founder in January 2019, but over the years, telling our equity story, people always asked three questions. Does it work? Can you fund it? And how big will the market be, or will there be a market? And that's our traditional private company questions that we still got even as a public company for a while, and we really retired those risks in 2023, 2024, and 2025. And so this year, yeah, you're exactly right. Traditional growth stuff, scaling stuff is where we are. And for us, if I were to say two simple things, one is network deployment. The vast majority of the folks in the company are focused on exactly that, network deployment now for revenue in 2026 and 2027 and beyond. And then the second one is, I think, building the market out in the right way. This is a brand new service. It's a service that is at the very heart of connectivity. Remember, we all know the trends in connectivity. When I started my career in connectivity, there was a question, bubble, what inning are we in? When is the expansion going to end? And then, of course, AI comes along, and there's always something every couple of years. So for us, we're at the heart of connectivity. We can do coverage better than any terrestrial footprint by its very nature. And making connectivity work for our partners, the mobile network operators, and ultimately for the consumer mass market among other markets, is our focus. So building out that market is our second priority. Great. And let's address the news from last week. AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile announced a proposed joint venture to extend mobile connectivity using satellite-based D2D technologies. You guys put out a statement commending the announcement. Unpack this for us. What does this mean for ASTS in practice? Does it change your commercial positioning with the carriers? Does it accelerate or maybe even complicate your path to service? So we really value the carrier relationship. We've organized the business, the technology, the go-to-market strategy. Everything we do, really, is about making connectivity better for the mobile network operators. And so you see that in where we've prioritized the company over the years. You see that in how we've built out the tech. And even the network stack is organized with the RAN on the ground, so the operators control it. So that's really been our focus. We share their spectrum, although we also have our own spectrum now. And that's always been the approach. Part1, 1 (of 2)
