I'm a remodeling contractor and 14-year Army Special Operations veteran. For almost 10 years I've fought the same battle every trade business owner fights. Admin, lead follow-up, emails, scheduling, estimating, invoicing. All the stuff that isn't building. Then I got an AI agent. It now manages most of that for me. I stay in the field and build actual stuff for my clients. So I thought, why not put this in the hands of other tradesmen? I built Blue Collar OS. Here's what the data says: construction, installation, and repair trades have massive AI capability but almost zero actual usage. The tools exist. Nobody's built them for blue collar. So I started putting agents in the hands of tradesmen. Here's what happened: Rodney is a 62-year-old local plumber. He paid me to set up an agent on a Mac Mini in his office. He canceled a $40,000 consulting contract and built a pricing app for his field techs. In the first weekend. Matt owns Flo Glass Company. Built an entire customer portal for his business, including pricing apps for his technicians. His words: "We removed the biggest limiting factor in growing my company. Coders are in trouble." These aren't tech founders. They're tradesmen. A plumber, a glass guy. Building software because AI met them where they are. On their phone. In plain English. There are 30 million trade businesses doing over $2 trillion in revenue in the United States. Less than 1% are using AI. Not because they can't. Because nobody built it for them. 4 out of 5 of those businesses have zero office staff. The owner does everything. We gave them a chief of staff for less monthly than their cell phone bill...

MrBeast says he helped a friend go from $20k to $400k a month in revenue just by telling him the truth once a week "I mentored this one guy just for fun. He was doing like $10,000 on one channel and $8,000 a month on another channel. And this month he actually just had his highest revenue month ever. He did $400,000 in revenue. Just by listening to what I taught him we were able to 20x his revenue. Just me once a week telling him he was an idiot and what to do." "A lot of times people, oh boy, they think their videos are better than they are." MrBeast: "Tell them Jimmy, tell them, they do." Coffeezilla: "And they have horrible friend groups. A lot of times I'm just like, what you're saying is wrong, who told you this? They're like, oh this guy. And it's like, well they're wrong. So it's getting people with the right YouTuber friend group that will actually tell them when their content's bad and actually roast it." "Usually it's hiring an editor, uploading less videos, just making them better. It's much easier to get five million views on one video than 50,000 views on 100 videos." "A lot of people aren't willing to put in ten-hour days because they don't like what they're doing. It's a long grind, you're doing this for years not months. So the first thing is figuring out what are the things you're currently doing that you don't want to do, and let's figure out a way to get someone else to do it, so you actually get out of bed excited."

Marc Andreessen: Most successful companies started “product first” “There are products that become companies, and then there are companies that come up with a product. One of the interesting things over the years is that many of the most successful technology franchises were products first, way before they ever became companies.” In this talk, Marc gives a few examples: • His team at the University of Illinois worked on the research project that became Netscape for three years before it became a company • Bill Gates and Paul Allen were deep into PCs before there was a software business • Jobs and Wozniak built the first Apple computer as hobbyists • Mark Zuckerberg was running Facebook out of his dorm room before he ever thought of starting a company • Twitter was a side project at the failed podcasting app Odeo Marc believes that this “product becomes a company” template is successful because “it’s a demonstration that the product has to exist. The market needs the product so badly that somebody actually built it and deployed it and you can actually see evidence that people want it before there was an economic motivation to do so.” He contrasts this with the failure cases he often sees when entrepreneurs try to figure out the idea after starting a company. “It’s very easy in that process to fool yourself into believing that there’s a market because you want to find something and you have a very strong motivation to come up with an answer. It’s hard to go through that process for three months and then say, ‘you know what, we can’t come up with any good ideas.’” There are of course there exceptions. Marc gives Hewlett Packard as an example. But that’s more the exception than the rule. As Marc explains: “The moral of the story is it has to be a really good idea. That often will be an idea that is preexisting at the time you decide to start a company. And if it isn’t, be really careful because you’re walking on sharp rocks at that point with a high risk of falling off the cliff into the ocean.” Video source: Stanford eCorner (2010)

Scott Galloway draws a sharp line between being rich and being wealthy —and explains why a $10M-a-year banker is less wealthy than his 94-year-old father. The NYU professor and entrepreneur argues that most people are chasing the wrong target. The goal isn't to be rich. Rich is what you see. Wealth is what you don't. He defines it simply: "Wealth is having passive income that's greater than your burn." To make it concrete, he describes two people in his life. The first is a friend who runs M&A for a bulge bracket investment bank. He makes between $3 and $10 million a year depending on the market. He pays 50% in taxes. Between his ex-wife, his home in the Hamptons, and what Scott calls a "master of the universe lifestyle that he feels he deserves," he has saved very little. Scott says: "He has a lot of sleepless nights wondering what happens if the music stops. He is not wealthy." The second is his 94-year-old father. Between his pension from the Royal Navy, Social Security, and six washer-dryer machines in trailer parks where he goes and "collects the money with his walker," he makes $52,000 a year. He spends $48,000. His passive income is greater than his burn. "He is wealthy." Scott then describes coaching a couple in their late 50s in San Jose who weren't going to have enough passive income by 65 to fund their lifestyle. His advice was to lean into their strengths. Their kids were gone. They were already going to Costa Rica twice a year. So he asked them: Why not sell the house, move to Costa Rica, and cut your burn by 40%? The point, he explains, is to put yourself on a path using basic math — ideally hitting that passive-income-greater-than-burn line by 40, but at the latest by 65 or 70. Because: "That release of economic anxiety frees you up to focus on what is really important, and that is deep and meaningful relationships." He speaks from experience. Raised by a single immigrant mother who "lived and died as a secretary," Scott describes feeling like there was a ghost following his family around telling them they weren't worthy because they didn't have money. Between student loans, the dot-com crash, and the financial crisis, he didn't escape that anxiety until he sold his last company about ten years ago. Wealth, in his framing, comes down to two levers: How much you make so you can save, and how much you burn. He cites a friend who left Tribeca for Portugal (same family, three kids, a beautiful home and great schools) but on $400,000 a year instead of a million. --- Full video here:

How Jeffrey Epstein rose from maths nerd, to a financial fixer for elites, to the boss of blackmail: ‘If you look at Epstein’s operation, what it looks like to me is that it’s a criminal operation on a number of different levels. Epstein is an interesting case because where does he come from? Well, he doesn’t come from a wealthy family. He doesn’t come from an influential family. He was a Long Island kid who was good at mathematics…he was a kind of smart, nerdy kid who made friends by doing their math homework. You’re not popular because you’re a jock. You’re not popular necessarily because you’re that good-looking or you dance well. You’re popular because you can do other people’s math homework and get them to pass. His whole career is ingratiating himself to wealthy, powerful people. What did he do as a financial advisor? Look at it. Just stand back and look at what he did. And what he did was that he helped them dodge taxes. He also helped them hide money. He could help people discover money that had been hidden abroad. He could help them hide money. If you do one, you can do the other. And that’s how he moved as a kind of fixer and arranger into the realm of the rich and powerful. And in that process, either he or other people who were working with him found out that these people can be compromised in a number of ways. And so then you start installing cameras in your residences, in the bedrooms and the bathrooms. There’s only one reason you do that. It’s fairly simple. The only reason why you collect all of this video information on your rich and powerful friends is to potentially use it as leverage against them. You don’t have to actually use it. You simply have to make them aware that you have it and could use it.’ -Prof. Richard Spence on the latest episode of Going Underground FULL INTERVIEW:

Dublin Woman Confronts Anti-Irish Jamaican Migrant at his own front door because she fears his hate inciting online behaviour is creating a risk to her and her kids. "You're putting my kids in danger with your online bile." Andre Buchanan (36), also known as 'Kannon', son of one of reggae music's greatest failures BANANAMAN and partner of Diana Jere (28) accused of selling drugs by an ex landlord, has posted numerous anti-Irish videos in the last few years which at one point incited so much public anger that he had to be moved from his home by Gardaí over fears for his safety. He also posted a video telling other migrants in Ireland to "Do a reverse Santa clause" and go out and rob Irish homes if they want nice stuff like the Irish because he says the Irish owe it to them for stealing their documents. Confronted by an Irish woman at his front door he folds like paper and whines that the woman is making his baby cry while he stands there filming it on his phone like a girl. He incited so much anger with his lame TikToks that it drove someone to knock on his door but he couldn't even protect his crying baby from a concerned Irish woman trying to make a point so his poor kids and his partner probably shouldn't depend on him to protect them in life. She should find a real man for that. If he was a decent father he'd quit the online anti-Irish race baiting bullshit, but he just keeps it going regardless of the consequences. In my opinion his online clout is worth more to him than the safety of his family.

A new way of working. And a scary one at that. Memory Store is one of a group of new kinds of AI-first companies that can turn you into a Fast Company. I’m using several of them on my desktop and they are a dramatically new way to work. It builds a memory for: 1. Your AI agents. 2. Any employee using it. 3. The company itself. I sit down with founder Diwank Singh Tomer, Diwank Singh Tomer, who both freaks me out as well as shows how AI can radically help workers as well as managers. First, why does it freak me out? Well, his AI watches nearly everything a worker does and keeps a “memory” of it. It watches your email. Your calendar. Your Slack. And a whole lot of other things. This can really freak out workers if “forced” on them. And leads to a whole new set of security issues companies need to consider before adopting these things. Such data about a company could give a competitor a HUGE advantage, if leaked. They would know how a company “thinks.” It really is a surveillance system for employees and the company itself. OK, now why would anyone ever use such a thing? Because it gives employees super powers. It makes them more productive. Shows workers a lot of things about themselves, and helps them work and stay on task. It also gives the company super powers. Institutional memory stays with the AI now, even if an employee dies or leaves. As companies move to “AI First” approaches, they will increasingly see the value in companies like Memory Store. It prepares employees for meetings. It helps them remember things. It shows them what they should be working on, and helps them do it. Memory Store builds a memory for: 1. Your agents. 2. Your company. 3. Yourself, or any employee on it. This helps all three work better together. Diwank Singh Tomer and I go in depth about what it does and how deeply it improves working at a company that deploys it. But to get the ultimate benefits you gotta convince your coworkers to use it. And your managers to approve it. Which means you have to get over your fears and get everyone you work with over theirs too. Which will be the challenge for Diwank. Luckily for him his first customers are raving about how good it is and how much his platform helped their companies. Increases sales. Makes teams more productive. Decreases errors and unnecessary costs. Which tells me everyone soon will be using systems like this. This is what the new way of working looks like. Once I got over my fears it sure is an amazing way to work. Will you try working this way?
