Alright. This is an exciting one — thanks to the hard work of @c_gro , our company Respoke Collection got featured in the September edition of Road and Track! Very cool seeing our little idea in such an iconic magazine.

Thanks to @KyleKinard for the write up!

From ~ 200 Creative Strategist interviews, here's what we see for salaries across different years of experience.**

[Connor Gross @c_gro]

When starting @ConstantHire I spent $15k on Google ads to drive new business.

Zero new clients.

So I stopped spending time on marketing & just doubled down on having a really good service for the maybe 4-5 customers we had back then.

Since then, 80%+ of our new clients have come from referrals.

The cost to "do things" will plummet over the next 5 years.

You'll be able to build high-output muli-million dollar teams on a $200/yr Chat GPT subscription.

Here are 5 predictions on how it will impact your team.

1. Entry level jobs are going to become obsolete (or glorified internship programs).

2. Teams will be smaller & 10x more efficient compared to existing teams.

3. Everyone will be "technical" (coding will feel like writing. deploying AI agents will be a Microsoft Excel level skill)

4. Bad managers will look at the cost savings on the bottom line of a P&L. Good managers will see this as an opportunity to overpay and get talent they couldn't afford before.

5. This will hurt overseas hires the most in the short term.

@DavidRoseHRL Actually they’re very reliable it’s a fluke

[Connor Gross @c_gro]

Hiring someone to run & grow a business with.

We've been incubating it for last 3 months.

It's been getting traction & solid feedback. Now we just need someone with more time to add ⛽️ to the 🔥

It's an e-commerce brand in the SMB space.

Why this?
• $20k+ in seed capital + monthly payment for you.
• Work 20 hours a week to start (can scale up and down from there).
• Opportunity for profit share + potential equity.

Both founders have built 7-figure brand & have had exits before (in the e-commerce space)... will be a fun time 🙂

DM's open.

@DaveRekuc Workaround is probably to use tags (all customers who used a certain code get a tag).

Can backfill data with apps like arigato automation

@MBTA_CR what’s up with train 158 inbound to north station? 15 min late and no updates?

@DavidRoseHRL 11-13 models have few-no issues. Earlier and later are bad

@DavidRoseHRL They are the best rovers you can buy. Interior just blows.

2013 LR4s are close to the same reliability but 100x better interior
