Almost 4 full days of listening to @ShaanVP and @thesamparr chop it up this year
In the age of AI
power has shifted from dev to sales
When anyone can build software, it means
10x the competitors
10x the value of someone great at sales
I've been heads down building Pavemnt and some other fun side projects recently
I have some catching up to do here
what did I miss?
My AI agent has generally done a good job finding interesting updates in the industry
After all, it has to choose only 5 articles out of hundreds it scans through
But this is a stretch 😂

Built my first AI agent last week
Scans hundreds of articles across popular AI news sites
Decides which are most relevant
Creates short summaries on a site for me
Also breaks down why the article matters and how I can use the info myself
Very fun project so far
Until you’ve called/emailed at least 1000 people
and talked to at least 50 of them
your product isn’t a failure
“My tool made it to 10k MRR in 6 weeks”
says the founder with 7k followers on their 9th product over 5 years
It’s not luck, it’s repetition
So many lead gen businesses and AI agents promising enriched LinkedIn data
These all have to be violating their ToS, no?
Just doing it anyway?
Harsh truth
the money you want
is just on the other side of
those 100 calls you don't to make
those 100 emails you don't want to send
If you're in your teens or 20s
you have the ultimate advantage for business, investing, learning, etc.
TIME
don't ever take that for granted
passion > profitability
probably an unpopular opinion
but life is too short to not spend it doing something you enjoy
it's just a bonus if your hobby pays well
Typical 9-5 mentality:
work harder, work longer, get promoted, 15% raise
Elite 9-5 mentality:
work smarter, build side incomes, unlimited earning potential
First, set clear priorities
Second, plan your schedule around those priorities
Third, only work on things that align with those priorities
Simple, but not easy
