The Corn Cob Secret Making Farmers Rich
Most farmers throw away corn cobs, but smart farmers are turning them into money:
Corn cobs can be processed into animal feed, organic fertilizer, charcoal briquettes, mushroom substrate, and even bedding for poultry. Instead of wasting them, farmers are now selling each by-product and adding extra income to their farming business.
What many see as waste, others are turning into profit. That is the real secret.
[ THE CASE FOR VIRALITY ]
There’s been a lot of noise the last month on X about attention as a strategy and whether or not it works. As one of the frontrunners getting most talked about here, I think it’s about time for me to offer my thoughts.
Fundamentally, I believe that it has never been easier to scale an idea quickly, and it has never been harder to break through the noise.
Pretty much every attention-first company is less than, or around a year old. The relevance behind us is hyper inflated because, despite being months old, we’re seen much more than some of the biggest companies.
Virality compresses time, and a few big moments make a months-old startup feel, in your head, like we’ve been around for five years.
The truth is, there is no “proof” that attention-first strategies don’t work because the experiment has barely even started.
Startups fail all the time, but most of them just fail quietly. The key difference is that attention-first companies are hard to forget, so people obsess over their trajectory in a way they never would for 99% of startups who sit behind a waitlist for 2 years.
The macro suggests the same too.
There have never been more eight-nine-figure ARR bootstrapped companies. Most of these would not be possible without social media.
Distribution today scales orders of magnitude faster than in any previous era. A “disappointing” few months for one or two early startups don’t disprove the entire model.
And at a cultural level, the actual winners of the attention-era who have built the biggest empires are ALWAYS the most polarizing figures. It’s Donald Trump, Kai Cenat, iShowSpeed, the Kardashians. This is fundamentally different from the world these older operators come from.
Short-form only became the dominant cultural medium a few years ago, and there are already countless examples of impressive businesses formed out of it.
Nobody is claiming that virality is the only way to build a company or even necessarily the best way.
But it is intellectually unserious to claim that it’s not a viable way when the entire experiment has just started.
This time 12 months ago, I was studying for my midterms back at Columbia.
Companies are built by building something and selling it.
If you can go viral, you can sell something good much more quickly than you could in the past.
That is the case for virality.
Hey, I'm Louis.
A 24yo guy who made $1M with one App:
GlowUp.
And now, I accidentally coded an entire app in one afternoon:
I know nothing about makeup.
Can't tell the difference between concealer and foundation.
Couldn't name a single brand if you asked me.
But I saw girls in TikTok comments begging for an app that showed them how a look would actually appear on their face.
So I built it in 2 weeks.
2M+ downloads.
Everyone says "build sth you're passionate about."
I wasn't passionate about makeup.
I was passionate about solving a problem that wasn't properly solved yet.
= GlowUp was born.
Passion for the craft, not the niche.
Those are two very different things.
And that gap is getting even smaller now.
I was playing around with @blackboxai's multi-agent feature last week - where Claude, Codex, and Blackbox's own model all work on the same task and 10X your shipping speed.
It was 1pm, last Friday.
Started with a simple prompt.
Wanted to test what the hype is all about.
But accidentally ended up with a fully working app by the end of the same afternoon.
The 2 weeks it took me to build GlowUp? Yeah, that timeline is dead lol.
The only thing that still takes time is seeing the problem nobody else is solving.
Go test it yourself.
Maybe you accidentally end up with a 6-figure app.
goal: get as many african startups funded before november 2026.
currently: reviewing pitch decks and submitted the first batch for april's funding cohort.
african founder?
comment "FUND ME" and i'll send you the link 👇
Happy Friday everyone 🤸♀️
the engineering behind databases makes me wonder how the engineers who designed these systems do it.
How did they design those subsystems, storage engines etc. Bruhh
The problem is not technological. Building an App is easy. But to effectively solve this problem. You have to effectively become a real estate company first. With the app just being your interface.
