The "Sleepless Founder" story is a tragedy :(
We’ve glorified the grind for too long. Missed birthdays. Ruined sleep. Zero social stability. All to keep the pipeline full.
The data shows 53% of founders are burning out. That doesn't build billion-dollar companies. It builds broken ones.
The lie we tell ourselves: "If I sleep, the business stops."
The new reality: Your business should sell while you sleep.
We are entering the era of the Autonomous Workforce. At PoliTech, our AI Agents don't just "assist." They take the night shift.
They prospect 24/7 ✅
They run the ads ✅
They book the meetings ✅
You wake up to a calendar full of qualified deals not a list of manual tasks.
You don't have to sacrifice your life to build your empire. Deploy the Agents. Increase your sleep AND your bottom line.
There are some car wrecks in Florida tonight.
And I'm not talking about the crashout that just happened to a certain gubernatorial campaign 🥲
There are some actual traffic issues and other things happening like wildfire activity in the state.
You can Monitor the Situation live in our free FloridaMan dashboard, coming soon!
What else should we add to it?
The person who found this research (@LouisLJJohns) was mass reported by the losing campaign and is currently banned from @X.
Louis defended @ErikaDonalds from a catfish account and cleared @ChristinaPushaw from having any involvement in that slop account.
And exposed the disgusting tactics other campaigns are using against the current and future First Families of Florida.
@Support@nikitabier@elonmusk this manipulation of reporting and community notes must be fixed is this platform is going to stay a political town square.
🚨ANNOUNCEMENT: FL DOGE SUCCESS STORY
An early County to volunteer for the @DOGEFla program was Manatee County, Florida.
Their comprehensive savings and efficiency report will be released within a few weeks.
But today we're proud to release a success story to preview of our work with them:
Using a DOGE and efficiency mindset championed by @GovRonDeSantis and @GovGoneWild , Manatee set out to complete a new Administration Center.
But they didn't build new. They acquired a vacant building in the district and renovated it...
SAVING THE COUNTY AND TAXPAYERS $28.5 MILLION DOLLARS.
Here is how we calculated the savings and a few comparable builds in other Counties:
Manatee County bought an $23.5M existing office building in Lakewood Ranch and spent $11.33M to renovate it; total $34.83M ($344 per sqft) to consolidate six departments under one roof.
Sarasota, their close neighbor, is currently completing a comparable NEW facility for $75.1M ($625 per sqft).
2 other relevant comparisons:
Pompano Beach City Hall ($73.9M, $625 per sqft).
City of Miami Admin Building ( $238M, $609 per sqft).
$28.5 million savings: calculated as 101,312 sf × Mean ($625 − $344).
PLUS they filled an empty commercial building improved operations by putting departments in the same building.
This is the potential of FL DOGE, FAFO Audits, and Government Efficiency programs as a whole.
Manatee County Director of Public Relations Stephanie Garrison (@stephgarrison) said of the construction:
"This project allows us to finally house several departments under one roof, which creates efficiencies just being close enough down the hall.
Cost wise, we're proud of our FL DOGE work in collaboration with Governor DeSantis, the State of Florida, and our County Board".
Byron Donalds nailed it at the Sunshine State Showdown saying Government Efficiency & Modernization is Florida’s #1 priority.
He called for expanding DOGE like programs to every agency with real transparency and tech modernization.
Here are 10 real world ideas to deliver on existing FL DOGE (EO 25-44), AI leverage, and Florida law:
1) AI real time audit alerts. Automatically flag waste/fraud and send public notifications like Amber Alerts. An expansion of @DOGEFla.
2) Legacy IT modernization EO. Mandate agencies migrate off outdated systems to secure AI/cloud platforms. Digitize all paper records like DC @DOGE.
3) Public Performance Dashboard: Track every agency’s cost, outcomes, and speed in real time with leadership accountability. Sample dashboard below.
4) Cross agency AI Fraud Strike Force. Deploy ML tools on Medicaid, UI, and procurement to catch waste at scale.
5) Regulatory Efficiency Commission + Sandbox. Run AI cost benefit analysis and test new tech like blockchain/AI for permitting and records. Study AI benefits in education and workforce (@ErikaDonalds).
6) Smart AI agent to monitor e-procurement. Add AI anomaly detection, vendor scoring, and mandatory ROI justification.
7) Local efficiency incentives. Tie portions of state funding to FL DOGE or audit cooperation and measurable improvements.
8) Workforce productivity program. Equip employees with AI tools + training and reward efficiency gains and manage attrition smartly.
9) Zero based budgeting pilots. Use AI modeling in select agencies to justify every dollar from zero.
10) Unified AI Citizen Services Portal. One digital front door for permits, licenses, and benefits with real-time tracking.
These respect home rule, civil service protections, and procurement rules while maximizing executive power and smart legislation.
Donalds background makes him the right leader to execute the next level of government efficiency in Florida.
I just left a meeting with a County for @DOGEFla.
We toured some Construction work being completed in their municipal building.
The County explained how the FL DOGE mindset coming from @GovRonDeSantis and @GovGoneWild’s FAFO Audits made them reconsider design choices and save MILLIONS.
Pre-DOGE the standard was “We need a new city building, let’s build it”.
Now the thinking is “How can we save money while delivering good services?”
The result:
- No new build.
- They purchased a building that a Covid company defaulted on and renovated it.
- I’m still confirming the exact numbers saved by doing this renovation instead of a new build but it’s above 2 MILLION dollars.
No big program or spreadsheets needed. Just 1 choice to be efficient, saved millions.
This is the hard and soft power of FL DOGE.
Teachers unions are once again on the WRONG SIDE of history.
They are suing 1 MILLION Florida students who benefit from school choice.
Florida is where education freedom thrives, and we will not let unions take that away.
Florida is the BEST STATE in the USA, with the BEST BOOTH at the Great American State Fair! Bravo to the team who put this together - it needs to be displayed in our state capitol when it leaves the National Mall.
We were the only booth with a line out the door! But next time, flamingo giveaways (not gators!)
President Trump was arrested, shot in the head, and his good friend assassinated but @LeaderJohnThune and the Senate can’t upset Democrats and the Zombie Filibuster.
Meanwhile here’s how the Founding Fathers reacted to an attempt to kill George Washington….
America has led the world in liberty and prosperity for 250 years.
Today, civic pride is in decline, and knowledge of our founding principles is even LOWER.
My @dcexaminer op-ed makes the case for why civics education must be restored in EVERY classroom across America.
Wow, @GovRonDeSantis signs his final Florida budget.
This will be the first of some sad “lasts”these next few months.
Thank you for being a steward of Florida’s capital and budget these 8 years Governor.
Thanks @BrandonLudwigFL & @FloridaYRs for honoring me as an inductee in the Legacy of Freedom Society!
I enjoyed sharing how founding the Collier Young Republicans over 15 years ago taught me to be an effective conservative advocate.
This new generation of YRs will do great things for our country and I’m here to support! 🇺🇸
