Pro tip: Every time you're wondering if quitting your 9-5 was worth it, go to a Marriott, order a burnt Pike Place from the Starbucks in the lobby, and watch the corporate guys choke down parfaits in constricting collars at 7:17 AM.
Panacea.
BIG ANNOUNCEMENT! 🚨 🚨 🚨
We have been keeping a HUGE SECRET. We’ve been planning the biggest surprise event for almost a whole year for financial advisors that are building the best practices in the US.
Our podcast, Advisor Freedom, has (amazingly!) exploded over the last 18 months and has been so much fun to run.
We thought the greatest way to celebrate that is to do the opposite of what every podcast seems to do (World Tours) and instead host an awesome and massive event for incredible financial advisors in Austin TX!
Soooo, we are excited to host the Inaugural Crossover Retreat!
I am obsessed with learning from other financial advisors (especially these superstars) on how they’re building their practices, growing their firms/social media reach and utilizing AI everyday.
That’s exactly what Crossover is for. Sharpening with and learning from some of the best minds in the same room.
If you want more info comment CROSSOVER and I'll send you info and event details.
Big thank you to our sponsors: @JumpAdvisorAI , AdvisorCRM , InfluenceLab and Momentum Media
Excited to explode with this year’s cohort!

The answer to this is very simple.
Just:
• Quit your job
• Find a work-stay program that pays room and board
• Work part time for the program
• Build your thing in your downtime
I did this at a coffee farm in Hawaii and it worked like a charm.
Led farm tours for 28 hours a week, got my two biggest expenses taken care of, got to live in Hawaii, got to build with low stress.
I don't know anyone who quit their job to live of savings and built something that made money before their savings run out except @AndreyAzimov
I always think it's the wrong way to do it
I think you should build something on the side and once it makes equal or more money than your main job or freelance gigs and it's stable, quit the job and switch
Being unemployed somehow makes people lazy and feel too relaxed to build something, like your day is fully free of commitments which sounds ideal but freedom isn't when stuff is built I think, you need constraints
I had income from my YouTube channel Panda Mix Show in 2013 when I started, and it took over a year before I made enough money to switch
Obviously I wish him well but I think better do the switch than hard quit
@TJ_Bongiorno Have you ever listened to his podcast episode with Greg Isenberg? Funny to hear him go mask off and explain, in detail, how he engineers these.
Yo @LinkedInHelp — I've been running into constant issues recently, including posts being suppressed, issues leaving comments, and now users telling me my account does not display when they try to access it.
Can you please assist asap?
Content creator “thought leader” sellouts are 100x funnier than music or art sellouts.
At least in art or music, there is a layer of abstraction between your output and your Self.
But for their “thought leader” guys, their product IS their thinking.
At a certain point, you get big enough that it makes more sense to post drivel that only appeals to people who fill their bookshelves with rocks.
It’s more broadly appealing. Probably makes you money. Don’t hate the player, hate the game. I get that.
But imagine reviewing this tweet from your ghostwriter and going, “Yeah, that’s hard-hitting. That makes good points. I want my face attached to it. Post away!”
Secure the bag, surrender your pride.
Imagine for a second you could choose your life at 35:
Option A:
Work from anywhere
$100K/month income
Do work that feels fun
Never get told what to do
Become a quiet millionaire
Option B:
Work a 9-5 job
Commute in heavy traffic
Make a salary that barely covers expenses
Ask your boss for permission to send an email
Work in an open plan office with noise-cancelling headphones
Barely see your family
Let’s be real. Which life are you choosing?
I built an AI coaching tool for financial advisors’ LinkedIn posts. $0-> $4,700 MRR with 117 users in 8 weeks.
It’s built on a year’s worth of real coaching I gave my advisor clients. I… do not beat around the bush when I edit posts.
The No. 1 piece of user feedback:
“This thing hurts my feelings. It’s brutal. Please don’t change it.”
Mean AI is a legit business model.
This is the problem with AI right now in ONE screenshot.
LLMs are TOO agreeable. and that's actually a billion dollar opportunity.
There are MULTIPLE billion dollar companies hiding in plain sight here. the entire concept is just: AI that pushes back.
If AI is your employee...
Well, your best employee isn't the one who says "great idea boss" to everything. it's the one who tells you your idea sucks before you waste 6 months on it.
Brutally honest AI for fitness coaching. Dating profiles. Financial planning. Copywriting. Design feedback. Hiring decisions. Etc etc.
The niches are endless and nobody's building for them yet.
Someone please go build this
