A 12-year old kid knocked on my door
Offered to mow my lawn for just $15
I love encouraging young entrepreneurs
But I wanted to make sure that he actually showed some promise
"How are you incorporating AI into your business model?" I asked.
He stared at me blankly.
"Um...."
I'd heard enough.
I slammed the door in his face.
Then launched my own AI lawn mowing service at $150 per job and immediately took all his market share.
I hope that young entrepreneur learned a valuable lesson about being prepared.
Gave a talk to 300 business school students
I turned the thermostat up to 90 degrees while I gave them insightful business lessons
Almost every student bought an ice cold drink from the vending machine outside the classroom on the way out
And guess who owns those vending machines?
Those students will never forget what I taught them
Met a billionaire for breakfast
I ordered pancakes and chocolate milk
He ordered a 32 egg omelette
I gasped
The bill came out to $957 thanks to his meal
He paid with his Amex Black Platinum Gold Medallion Card
I asked why he got such an expensive meal
"Don't worry, I always get my money's worth," he said, chuckling.
He then went to the restroom and completely destroyed the plumbing.
The business had to pay $2,700 to get the problem fixed
Guess who owns the plumbing company right next door...
Billionaires operate on a different level
