Underrated life advice: Being resourceful is more important than having resources. Money helps. Connections help. But there's nothing more valuable than the person who can just make things happen with what they already have in front of them. That person will find a way to win.

Meet mate, your AI growth teammate for marketers.

We spent the last 2 years in stealth building the hard part first: distribution. A live network of 12B+ shopper intent signals that tells us who’s actually in-market, right now.

Now mate puts AI on top of that network to find your customers and convert them.

It's like Claude for your marketing team but with our own consumer distribution infrastructure underneath.

We quietly signed 700 brands to the beta, drove $94.4 million in sales in 12 months for the likes of JD Sports, Brooklinen and Everlane, and are weeks away from crossing a $15M run rate.

Today, we’re thrilled to be opening the beta.

Drop a comment if you run an online store and we'll get you set up!

Underrated life advice: You can reinvent yourself as many times as you need. New habits. New standards. New people. New career. You’re never stuck. You’re allowed to change. Today, tomorrow, and as many times as it takes to create the life you want.

A Monday morning question for you:

Slow down for a minute. Close your eyes. Scan your body.

Where are you holding tension right now?

Take a deep breath. Relax.

"The very best startup ideas tend to have three things in common: they're something the founders themselves want, that they themselves can build, and that few others realize are worth doing."

Major career cheat code: Being the person who makes your boss's job easier. Anticipate their needs. Solve problems before they become crises. Communicate in their style. Excellence isn't just doing your job well. It's making everyone around you more effective.

6. They’re artists, not professionals.

Jobs wanted people who cared about their craft—like artists.

These are the ones who tweak, refine, and perfect until it’s “insanely great.”

Jeff Bezos on raising Amazon’s seed round: “It was the hardest thing I’ve ever done”

“To raise the first $1 million of seed capital for Amazon, I sold 20% of the company at a $5 million valuation. I sold 20% of the company for a million dollars to 22 angel investors, roughly $50,000 each.”

Jeff recalls taking 60 meetings to get to those 22 angels who said yes, which means roughly 40 of the investors he pitched said no.

“And by the way, the 40 ‘no’s were hard-earned ‘no’s… They were multiple meetings, working really hard to get people to write that $50,000 check. And the whole enterprise could have been extinguished then.”

This was in 1995, and the first question Jeff would always get was, “What’s the Internet?”

So Jeff would patiently explain what the Internet was. He would also always tell them he thought there was a 70% chance they would lose their investment.

“In retrospect, I think that might have been a little naive, but I think it was true. In fact, if anything, I think was giving myself better than the real odds.”

My first book publishes today.

It has nothing to do with hardcore finance or bitcoin, but everything to do with self-improvement, constant learning, and living the life you want.

The book, which is titled How To Live An Extraordinary Life, is a compilation of 65 letters to my children on various life lessons I have picked up over the years.

I never had an intention to write a book, but as I started writing these letters in private it struck me that many other people could benefit from these insights.

The beauty of the book is that each letter is the product of a mistake I made, a piece of advice someone gave to me, or an experience I lived through over the years. You will learn lessons about money, investing, work, relationships, health, and happiness.

None of the ideas are my own — I had to live my life and rely on people much smarter than me to teach me all of this information.

Each letter in the book is structured to share the lesson, explain how I learned it, and then give actionable advice on how to implement it in your own life. My goal is to share the information with my children and some of you. These are timeless lessons that have been passed down to me, so their survival over time signals their accuracy and value.

As you all know, I hate asking people for a favor. But the publisher has told me that sales in the first week really matter for the long-term popularity of the book.

With that understanding, if I have ever helped you in any way (taught you something, given you an idea, made you think more critically, etc), then please consider buying the book today.
