Boring Investment Dad

I like to share viewpoints on building, growing, and managing your financial portfolio. I also enjoy a few sports and some other topics boring Dads enjoy.

[Tyler Denk 🐝 @denk_tweets]

we have had a few $50K revenue days via the @beehiiv Ad Network in the past few weeks

that's nearly a $20M revenue run rate 🤯

massive updates re ads coming soon...

[Boring Investment Dad @BrngInvstmntDad]

hey guys, I can't DM - turns out I am not cool enough on X.

Do you mind DM'ng me?

[beehiiv 🐝 @beehiiv]

@BrngInvstmntDad hmm weird..dm us the email on your account & we can help get you sorted!

[Boring Investment Dad @BrngInvstmntDad]

@beehiiv - hey guys, we are stuck.

We upgraded to Scale from the 'Launch' plan. However, the Scale will not be effective until November '26 (see screenshot).

We can't get to your hands on support due to our plan not upgrading. Any help you can offer would be awesome!

[Boring Investment Dad @BrngInvstmntDad]

@borrowed_ideas I think '29 is conservative. The amount of capital Meta is investing into data centers, and user-behavior shifting at rates unseen since early 2000s - '28 may be the year.

[Boring Investment Dad @BrngInvstmntDad]

Incredible platform, brother - thanks for sharing the behind the scenes.

[Daniel Berk @danielcberk]

I joined @beehiiv in November of 2022, which might as well be 20 years ago. I can recall thousands of conversations where I had to explain what beehiiv was.

We weren't even doing $1M in revenue yet, had less than 10 employees, and were working endless hours to out ship and out grit everyone else in the space.

There were times (many times) that I would work 15 hours, put the kids to bed, say goodnight to my wife, pour a glass of bourbon (before I stopped drinking) and hit up Zendesk until 3 or 4am to answer support tickets from customers.

I remember taking a demo call on Thanksgiving because the company was international (they're now an enterprise customer).

I remember cold emailing important political figures and influencers on Super Bowl Sunday because I knew they would be looking at their phones.

I remember doing 4 months of diligence with a $125 billion dollar company (yes billion) only to be turned down because we didn't have enough employees (yet).

I remember waking up to at 4:30am call to fix someone's website because they'd be driving traffic 3 hours later from the Kelly Clarkson show and the site wasn't loading.

The early days of beehiiv are something I remember and won't forget. They were special and are the lifeblood of what we've become and are evolving into.

Now I routinely speak to billion dollars companies who ask ME for advice about how to turn their email program into a profit center.

I have texted powerful political figures, famous billionaires, and C-suite individuals of the largest media companies on the planet.

I get messaged dozens of times a week asking for referrals to work here.

When we have a job opening, thousands of people apply (actually thousands, multiple).

Daniel in 2022 wouldn't have been able to understand what Daniel in 2025 is witnessing first hand.

And we're just getting started.

The best is yet to come, and we haven't even scratched the surface.

Strap in.

@Here4Racing @iRacingMyers Yes! I have load cells and the braking only works when my pedal is completely down

[Boring Investment Dad @BrngInvstmntDad]

@Desib_b @grok can you translate this to English?

[Boring Investment Dad @BrngInvstmntDad]

@mbain_38 You are the man, Bain. Congratulations on your accomplishments. No one deserved it more. You worked your ass off.

[Boring Investment Dad @BrngInvstmntDad]

@hell_let_loose I wouldn't be able to focus on working. I'd just want to "test"' the enhancements all the time! 🫡

CONGRATULATIONS to all $NVDA share holders & traders!! 🎊🎊🎊

[Boring Investment Dad @BrngInvstmntDad]

Fail fast. Learn. Go to market, again.

[Justin Welsh @thejustinwelsh]

The danger of inaction greatly outweighs the risk of error.

[Boring Investment Dad @BrngInvstmntDad]

@PinkProfit How do you go about getting this started? Curious in learning how to monetize this platform.

Asking for a friend 👀

[Boring Investment Dad @BrngInvstmntDad]

Grats to you! 🤝

[Boring Investment Dad @BrngInvstmntDad]

Enough to make me really happy, or really unhappy. 🚀

[TslaGroupie @TslaGroupie]

How many $NVDA shares do you own & are you holding through earnings?

[Boring Investment Dad @BrngInvstmntDad]

I have, with one condition... it needs to be a 0% APR...

I've done this twice, and kept my money invested / in a high yield savings account.

Both are paid off.

[Finance Girly @PinkProfit]

Shocking fact: I've always paid cash for my cars.

Why? No interest payments, total ownership from day one, and lower total cost in the long run. Plus, it shows financial discipline and independence from credit scores.

Do you finance your car?

[Boring Investment Dad @BrngInvstmntDad]

Our first year with a rental, we had someone do it.... it helped tremendously with lessons learned and cleaning up how I keep my accounting.

Certainly worth the fee.

[Rawk @Rawk_FI]

I’m sipping my morning coffee.

Telling myself I need to get my tax docs together and not wait until the last minute.

First year with a rental property in the mix. Trying to decide if I want to DIY my taxes again or hire someone now.

RE friends, how do you handle taxes?
