Reposting for all my new followers:

Hi everyone,

I wanted to (re)introduce myself since I have many new connections here. I'm Mike, a father of two and founder of Jump Satori, a fractional CMO / growth agency.

I've primarily held marketing and operations roles, leading teams of up to 40 people. I founded and sold a health e-commerce business and a sales development agency.

I also joined companies mid-stride, leading them to successful exits, including a home improvement lead aggregator, a digital marketing agency, and an auto glass lead aggregator.

At Jump Satori, I work with founders and operators as a fractional CMO to help scale their businesses. I also co-founded LeadAide, a lead response SaaS. I recently acquired https://t.co/AH0rSagvkJ and am working with a small team to grow the site.

Outside of work, my children are my priority. Three years ago, I divorced, reinforcing the importance of family.

Fun facts: I grew up playing lacrosse; I even played a bit in college. I love live music and have traveled for shows across the US, even to Alaska. I live on 5 acres on an island in the Puget Sound with my two kids, two dogs, a hamster, and a crested gecko.

The @SeaTimesOpinion criticizes the legislature's use of a "necessity clause" in the proposed income tax in order to block a voter referendum on the unpopular proposal.

"To keep the necessity clause is an insult to the people of Washington state." #waleg 1/2

@GovBobFerguson Small business owners would pay a tax on income not what they take home. A millionaire’s tax means owing on money still in business accounts, forcing owners to empty operating funds to pay the state. This doesn’t target the wealthy. It puts small businesses in a chokehold.

[Anna B 🇺🇸 @pnwmom91]

Washington voters have said NO to a state income tax 11 times—including overwhelmingly in 2010 and by passing I-2111 in 2024 to block it.
If Bob Ferguson truly cared about his constituents, he'd understand what 'NO' means instead of championing SB 6346, the so-called 'Millionaires' Tax' that opens the door anyway.
This isn't leadership—it's ignoring the will of the people. Time to listen, not tax.

A company with $24 billion in revenue and 24% gross profit growth just cut 4,000 people while raising 2026 guidance to $12.2 billion in gross profit. Stock ripped 20% after hours. The market added roughly $6 billion in market cap. That's ~$1.5 million in enterprise value created per eliminated role.

Block is the canary in the coal mine. And they're not alone.

ASML cut 1,700 jobs last month while reporting record orders and said they were "choosing to make these changes at a moment of strength." Salesforce cut 5,000 after AI agents started handling 50% of customer interactions. Amazon cut 16,000 in January on top of 14,000 in October. Every one of these companies was growing when they did it.

Dorsey said the quiet part out loud: intelligence tools paired with smaller teams have already changed what it means to run a company. He chose one massive cut over repeated rounds because, his words, gradual cuts destroy morale and trust. The restructuring charges are $450-500 million. At the operating income Block is guiding, that pays for itself in two quarters. After that, pure margin expansion. That's why Wall Street rewarded it instantly.

Here's what's coming. Goldman estimates AI is already responsible for 5,000 to 10,000 net monthly job losses in exposed U.S. industries. Citigroup is planning 20,000 cuts. Dow just slashed 4,500. 40% of employers surveyed say they expect to reduce headcount because of AI. 30,700 tech jobs gone in the first six weeks of 2026 alone.

Block went from 10,000 to 6,000 while growing revenue and raising guidance. Every CEO running a company with more than a few thousand employees is doing this math tonight. The canary just stopped singing.

We have a brush fire on the doorsteps of the Washington tech industry created by the inept people governing our state and leaders in this industry don't have the courage or leadership to stand up and fight the disaster that's about to engulf their industry and our state.

You live here and it behooves you to do something. Washington's past success was never inevitable. We benefitted from the comparative advantages of a business and tax friendly climate that have almost entirely been nuked in the last five years. And our Governor and legislature have imminent plans to make the situation much worse.

It is entirely possible (and perhaps likely given WA's current trajectory) that Seattle (and WA more generally) follow the path of prior industrial powerhouses like Detroit and Cleveland that committed seppuku through years of horrendous policy. choices.

Show some leadership. Speak to the politicians in Olympia, most of whom have never run so much as a lemonade stand, and let them know they're going to kill the golden goose that has brought so much prosperity to our state.

@GovBobFerguson You clearly don’t understand small biz owners & startups. These bills (this one + others) will hurt the biz community badly. Pushing it as an “emergency” bill disgusts me. I’ve voted Dem in nearly every election my whole life, but I’m done with the state Democratic Party.

[Joe Wallin @joewallin]

Washington’s proposed income tax isn’t just a “millionaires tax.”

It’s a builder's tax.

Here’s why that distinction matters — and why legislators should understand what they’re actually taxing. 🧢

My son (26) and I are going out to lunch today because he is craving oysters, and also he wants to borrow my copy of The Count of Monte Cristo and you know we’re going to talk about The Brothers Karamazov, which I’m reading on his urging.

My daughter (22) and I have two online Crossplay (like Scrabble) games going and we are so evenly matched, and she’s in Manhattan for the weekend and keeps texting me pictures of the incredible food that she is eating in Chinatown, and now she’s telling me about the show she saw last night (Stranger Things lol).

Have kids. Not just because they’re so freaking cute and hilarious when they’re little, but also because they grow up to be interesting people who might share your interests and who you’re so so lucky to have in this often lonely world.

I know there are terrible hard times to get through, and I know it doesn’t work out for everybody. But if you had told me five years ago that my son and I were even on speaking terms, I wouldn’t have believed you.

[Mike Wienick @MikeWienick]

@WashingtonSRC Just emailed both my state reps, I urge everyone else to do the same.

@GovBobFerguson This tax would hurt small business owners. As income is taxed whether distributed or not. This will simply lower small biz owners cash reserves and make businesses more likely to fail with any downturn.

[Mike Wienick @MikeWienick]

@GovBobFerguson Before you tax another dollar, start with a zero base budget and go through every budget line by line.

[Mike Wienick @MikeWienick]

@WhidbeyWXGuy Just hit camano. Went quiet to Loud like someone hit a switch.

Cal Raleigh couldn’t publicly say it at the time during All-Star Media Day in Atlanta. But now, three months later, what he said when hugging Eugenio Suárez carries a sense of surreal.

“We’ve got your old locker ready for you.”

According to Grok: 8 major Middle East peace deals signed in the last 50 years. 4 collapsed. I really hope this one holds.

I don't like war on any people at any time, and I'm not well read on the issue so i would love to hear other opinions. Given the current situation and the assumption that our bombs can actually destroy these enrichment facilities, we have to do it now. Israel has air superiority and we have a clear shot to push Iran‘s nuclear program back years. You have to take it right?
