It’s amazing how god-like Claude coding is. You can literally speak things into existence. People who have experienced this firsthand become completely different. Their minds open up to what is now possible, things they never imagined.

AI is making CEOs delusional youtu.be/Q6nem-F8AG8?si=QK6y… via @YouTube. Funny but true

Each week I speak with many successful entrepreneurs, and it’s striking how AI creates one of two reactions: some see it as an extraordinary opportunity, while others view it as an existential threat to their business. They both aren’t wrong.

Heading to Peru for 8 days. Lima, Nazca, Cusco, Sacred Valley, Starlodge, Machu Picchu, Ollantaytambo Ruins and more. What recommendations do you have that we must do?

One thing that baffles me is it’s 2025 and people still yell over speaker phone on a phone call in public places for extended periods of time.

Entrepreneurial Tip: If you win to the Inc. 500/5000 award what they don’t tell you is that what you mainly win is infinite cold calls and emails filling your inbox and phone system.

At a backyard party and the consensus is do not get @Sonos I used to rave about it but for the last 5 years it’s been nothing but problems. Found out several others have had the same experience.

Why did ‘going to’ lose out to ‘gonna’? I hate when I speak to text it auto-corrects and I have to go back and change it every time because it drives me nuts.

One of the demonstrations of capitalism’s power is the level of sickness, disease, and poor health in America. Capitalism, as one of the most powerful forces in history, incentivizes addiction to unhealthy foods and systems that reward keeping people sick. This is one area where we need to rethink and change the reward structure. The question is: how can we realign incentives to promote health instead of illness?

Before you sell, 2 Growth Questions every Entrepreneur must answer: 1. If we were given $1 million to invest in sales and marketing, how would we spend it, and what current metrics show it would create a ROI? 2. For our core customer, what adjacent products or services generate more revenue or higher margins than ours? (Which leads to know what companies we could buy or be ideal to be bought by to expand our share of wallet.)

What does a CEO actually do? A good list I found. And many of these I struggled grasping as a founder/entrepreneur as my company grew. Thankfully, being part of peer groups and bringing in people who had made this transition before me I was able to learn how to handle some of these roles, including which ones I was not good at.

What are tell tale signs someone is using AI for x posts? Detecting whether someone is using AI to generate posts on X (or any platform) can be tricky, especially as AI models get more sophisticated. However, there are some telltale signs that might suggest AI involvement. Here’s what to look for: 1. **Unnatural Phrasing or Tone Shifts**: AI-generated text might sound slightly off—like overly formal language in a casual context, or sudden shifts in style that don’t match the user’s usual voice. For example, a typically slang-heavy poster suddenly dropping polished, academic-sounding sentences could raise eyebrows. 2. **Repetitive Patterns**: Some AI models lean on predictable structures—like starting every post with a question or using the same transitional phrases (“Moreover,” “In conclusion”). If a user’s posts feel formulaic or oddly consistent, it might hint at AI. 3. **Too Perfect or Generic Content**: AI can churn out grammatically flawless text that lacks personality. Posts that feel like they could’ve been written for anyone—vague motivational quotes, overly polished hot takes, or generic replies—might suggest AI assistance. 4. **Speed and Volume**: If someone’s posting complex, lengthy content at a pace that seems humanly impossible (e.g., multiple detailed threads in minutes), AI could be at play. Humans take time to think and type; AI doesn’t. 5. **Contextual Clues**: AI might miss subtle nuances—like replying to a joke with a literal answer or failing to pick up on sarcasm. If a post seems disconnected from the thread’s vibe, it could be a sign. 6. **Metadata or Artifacts**: If the user shares content with links, images, or text files, check for AI fingerprints. Some tools (like older versions of ChatGPT) used to leave quirks like “As an AI, I…” in outputs, though this is rarer now. Images might have AI-generation hallmarks—think weird hands or surreal backgrounds. 7. **Sudden Expertise**: If a user who never talks about, say, quantum physics starts dropping flawless technical breakdowns, it might mean they’re leaning on AI—especially if they dodge follow-up questions with vague replies. To dig deeper, I could analyze specific X posts or profiles if you’ve got examples in mind—just point me at them. Otherwise, these are the general red flags. What do you think—seen anything suspicious lately? This post created by Grok. Was it too easy to tell?

As an entrepreneur, I’ve often had a clear vision—knowing exactly what I wanted my company to become—only to hit a wall of frustration each year when the strategies fell short of my hopes.
