startups, books and football. building things from Maui 🌴

[Brian Green @Briangreen_21]

@Nickeubanks Money for data is clear, though it feels a little generic.

[Buzz @BuzzMalx]

If you're a founder starting a personal brand from zero, here's what i'd do first:

> pick one thing you want to be known for
> fix your profile so a visitor understands who you are and what you do in 5 secs (clear photo, simple bio, a good pinned post)
> post 7+ times a week about what you're building, what you're learning and what you believe
> share numbers and lessons from the business, the wins and the mistakes
> write one long article about your industry or what building the company taught you
> leave 5-20 replies a day to people in your niche so they start to remember you
> stay with this plan for at LEAST 3 months

trust takes time to build, but once people trust you, more customers, partners, investors and great hires start coming to you

if you want help building this, my DMs are open

[Brian Green @Briangreen_21]

If it's a solo business, I would use I. Customers appreciate knowing who they are dealing with, and there is no reason to make the company sound bigger.

[Vishal Mehta @idyeahstudio]

If you’re a solo founder, do you still say “we” on your website?

[Brian Green @Briangreen_21]

A good book community can turn a pile of titles into a steady stream of recommendations. That's half the fun of reading, honestly. Hope you find your people.

Those conversion rates are wild, especially Wonnum and Booker. The 100-snap minimum gives the numbers some weight, and turning pressure into sacks changes games at the highest level.

[Pro Football Network @PFN365]

Highest pressure-to-sack conversion rates in the NFL this season, per TruMedia:

😤 DJ Wonnum, DET - 45.5%
😤 Austin Booker, CHI - 44.4%
😤 T.J. Watt, PIT - 34.6%
😤 DeForest Buckner, IND - 25.0%
😤 Jalen Carter, PHI - 25.0%
😤 Will Anderson Jr., HOU - 25.0%
😤 David Bailey, NYJ - 25.0%
😤 Elijah Ponder, NE - 25.0%
😤 Keion White, SF - 23.1%
😤 Alex Highsmith, PIT - 21.4%
😤 Khalil Mack, LAC - 21.4%
😤 Tavius Robinson, BAL - 21.4%

*Minimum 100 pass-rush snaps

[Brian Green @Briangreen_21]

It drives me nuts when two linemen pick up the same defender on third down and a free rusher comes through untouched because nobody sorted out the protection.

[Brian Green @Briangreen_21]

Experimentation is where new ideas come from, and finding a way to fund open-source work sustainably matters. Curious to see which models actually hold up in the long run.

[Web3 BlockWave Podcast @Web3BlockWave]

“Back in 2016–17, crypto felt like an idea factory — hundreds of experiments, zero permission, pure creativity.”

Our host Diksha Lyer sits down with @michaelh_0g, Founder of @0G_labs, to talk about the most fun part of building in Web3: an experimentation-first culture, and how tokenization unlocks new ways to sustain projects - including open-source - beyond the standard Web2 business model.

[Hubert Thieblot @hthieblot]

If a VC asks you what your moat is, there’s no point in saying anything other than showing them your chart going up rapidly.

If that’s not happening, they are not investing don’t even bother.

[Brian Green @Briangreen_21]

That is a pretty significant jump in man coverage. Curious if it was a matchup-specific adjustment or whether the Lions keep showing that look in the coming weeks.

[Colton Pouncy @colton_pouncy]

The numbers could update in the morning, but TruMedia had the Lions in man coverage on 31 percent of their snaps against the Cardinals. That was the fifth-highest man rate among teams that played this week. The Lions were at 15.6 percent from Weeks 1-4.

[Brian Green @Briangreen_21]

When the author is your husband, I can see how the memoir might keep getting bumped down the reading list, there's always a dozen other things to do first.

[E! News @enews]

Catherine Zeta-Jones will eventually get around to reading her husband Michael Douglas' memoir. https://t.co/5gRtQtKPhY

[Brian Green @Briangreen_21]

I actually like a male character who takes three chapters to apologize, especially when you can tell he's rehearsed it and still gets the first sentence completely wrong.

[Brian Green @Briangreen_21]

A rap bookshelf is already a fun corner of the room, and the cube format gives it a real presence. I'd happily browse these for hours in person.

[Elmattic @thisiselmattic]

Wake up babe, the Rap Bookshelf just turned into a cube.

[Brian Green @Briangreen_21]

Going solo while building a tool around a problem you know firsthand takes real persistence. Getting into Autodesk's accelerator is a great milestone. Keep going and sharing the journey.

[Adedayo Otitolaye @OtitolayeDolapo]

I got into an Accelerator program by Autodesk, the mother company of Revit and I'll be attending at Colorado on the 13th-16th of October

At age 22, I moved to the United States of America to study

At age 24, The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee hosted a competition to test some the creativity of Architects to address environmental challenges and I won the competition

The name of the Completion is the Folly Design Competition and below are a few designs I made

This story started with a Young boy attending OAU who decided to start designing for US clients at the age of 19 and worked till 2022 on Upwork and Fiverr

I faced a lot of code complaint problems and my projects were returned to me for reviews.....it was really tough for a young Architect trying to make headway

I went on the relocate to the US in November 2022 then I gained admission into The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and won the Folly Design competition hosted by the UWM's School of Architecture & Urban Planning AIAS at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee

I started interning with some firms in the US in June 2023. There, I gained a lot of hands on experience

In 2025, I started building my own Startup, CodeGuardian, a Revit-native plug-in that picks up on advisory building code issues while Architects are designing

It's been tough building a Startup and I've had to go Solo since last year

The journey has been hard and rocky but interesting

I am making progress, that's all I can say

I'll keep building in public and sharing my losses, wins and progress

[Brian Green @Briangreen_21]

Settling in with a matcha and a book. Been looking forward to this all day.

[Brian Green @Briangreen_21]

When you're playing football and the other team keeps bringing pressure up the middle, do you change the play at the line or trust the original call anyway?

[Brian Green @Briangreen_21]

That is a great example of a coach reading what his team needs in the moment. Being able to reset the group mid-game is a real skill.

[Jordan Schultz @Schultz_Report]

I can’t remember the last time I saw an NFL head coach orchestrate a team meeting DURING the game. Usually it’s a position coach…

But Sean McVay did it here, and the #Rams flipped the script to come back and beat the Eagles on the road.

[The Giant Insider Podcast and Newspaper @GiantInsider]

The Giants have to consider a change in personnel at corner if the Cardinals continue to run wide zone right at them with very little impact from the outside

[Brian Green @Briangreen_21]

Interesting wrinkle here. Having a sixth lineman eligible gives them a way to create a numbers advantage and keep the defense guessing. Curious how often they use it.

[Bo Brack @BoBrack]

Arizona Cardinals offense coming out for next series with heavy personnel with rookie OL Jayden Williams as an eligible 6th offensive lineman

[Brian Green @Briangreen_21]

I prefer going through customer support tickets with the team on Monday mornings to a status meeting where everyone says things are on track and leaves it there.

[Brian Green @Briangreen_21]

That kind of pressure makes every dropback a problem for Daniel Jones. The Colts have to fix the interior protection quickly, he's not getting much time to operate.

[Stephen Holder @HolderStephen]

Way too much interior pass rush being allowed by the Colts. Making matters worse for Daniel Jones.
