@PBDsPodcast The fact that you can be that unaware. And be “successful” should give all of us hope. Adam is an absolute fucking tool. It’s insane that he’s surrounded by intelligent people, and is that unaware. Even being told by PBD to his face - it goes over his head. Lmao what a joke
@braveben Replacing 10 tools with 1 is huge leverage.
But what we're seeing as the bigger unlock is timing signals.
When you reach people during change (hiring, expansion, renewals, etc.), almost any stack works.
Without that… even the best tools feel like spam.
@jakepaul@samdblond@humancapital@foundersfund AI agents replacing manual outbound feels inevitable.
The edge is catching buying intent early, not just sending more messages.
Curious how Monaco handles signal detection vs volume.
You are using the excuse of lack of passion to disguise your inability to handle difficulty.
Your passion only exists in the vague. even if you start a business around your “passion” 95% of what you do everyday will NOT be your passion.
You’ll just have brief moments where you do that specific thing (if at all) and assuming that thing never changes (which it will).
So if you know that:
1) Unless you get good at your passion, you will have to do things you like less to pay the bills.
2) As soon as you are good at your passion, demand will outstrip your supply of time and 95% of what you do will not be “the thing you love” but stuff you do to support the thing you love, which you may indeed “not love”
3) The 5% of your passion that’s leftover will only be there if your passion doesn’t change (which it will)
Which means the vast majority of your life you will not be doing things you are passionate about. And in the tiny instance you do, it’s likely short lived.
I say all this to say, delaying your pursuit because you’re waiting to find your passion is a fools errand.
Find something people value. Do that thing even though it sucks. Realize there is no greener grass. It all sucks. But it sucks less when you’re good. And the best way to get good is to get started.
If you can’t even go on the field to play … you’re deeply insecure .. once you understand you aren’t chasing your dreams and goals because your fear of judgement if it doesn’t work … you can do something about it!
Friends don’t live your life based on whether the “fans”
Will cheer or boo … please !
Everything you want is on the other side of difficulty, uncertainty and delay.
Hard problems - that you don't know how to solve - on a timeline you aren't sure you're going to solve them in - all while being unsure if all this will have been for nothing.
The reason you’re not getting what you want is because you delay doing the things you don’t like but know you need to do for longer than it takes to do them.
