10 years ago I made a decision that changed my life.

When I quit my finance job to teach English in South Korea, I asked myself 4 questions:

1. What's the worst that can happen?

I'd spend a year abroad, learn a new language, and come back with a completely different perspective. Even the "worst case" would push me out of my comfort zone and force me to grow.

2. What's the best case scenario?

I'd break out of the conveyor belt my peers were on (banks, hedge funds, same path). I'd actually expand my horizons instead of settling into an office at 21.

3. Is this reversible?

Finance jobs weren't going anywhere. I could always go back to the traditional path if it didn’t work out. But the window to take risks before life gets complicated? That was closing.

4. Will I regret this?

Definitely not! I'd regret playing it safe rather than taking the risk.

That decision led to everything: a university scholarship, an MBA, meeting my wife, corporate training for Hyundai, building an AI education business in Thailand, working in customer success at @TheRundownAI and now at @Chatbase as the first sales hire.

Most “risky” decisions aren’t that risky when you actually break them down.

One thing I admire about the suburbs is that people have unprecedented pride in their gardens.

The way they spend their time, evenings, and weekends growing plants and doing landscaping doesn't make sense at all to a working professional, because you could be spending that time vibe-coding, selling, or building.

I think they get the same fulfillment from showing off a beautiful garden that I get from closing enterprise deals.

Definitely something to look forward to later on in life.

everyone is arguing about which model is best

wrong argument

the question isn't "GPT vs Claude vs Llama"

the question is "can you switch between them without rebuilding your product"

if the answer is no you've already lost

model neutral is the new cloud neutral

remember when everyone said "don't build on one cloud provider"

same thing is happening with LLMs right now and most people aren't paying attention

model neutral is the way forward

New handle arrived lfggg…!!

Lyle_AI played a huge role in 2023/24 but it’s time for change

[Clint Kruger @clintkruger]

If you're a business owner, you have to use AI to think and move like a grandmaster.

the best part of sales at @chatbase isn't the close

it's when a customer emails you back saying "we went live in 48 hours and our team finally has breathing room"

that's the value right there

not the contract. not the credits. not the SLA

someone's workday got better because of something you built

that never gets old

it's like @Tesla FSD saving you countless hours on the road and providing a safe ride

[Clint Kruger @clintkruger]

@yasser_elsaid_ Let ai handle the critical processes in your business

[Clint Kruger @clintkruger]

@humphreysu8 AI agents run in strict 1 2 3s

[Clint Kruger @clintkruger]

AI agents get the steps right - every time.

[Chatbase @chatbase]

Surgeons don't wing it. Your AI agent shouldn't either.

Introducing Procedures. You define the trigger, the steps, the branches, and when to hand off to a human. Your agent does the rest, exactly how you designed it.

Live now on Chatbase.

Contains graphic scenes.

[Clint Kruger @clintkruger]

@chatbase Every business has critical processes, there's no other choice than to let AI handle them, and ace them!

[Clint Kruger @clintkruger]

@thebdao @benln no delay, and you can whisper while on train or in noisy environments

11:40pm. An empty office and a whiteboard I’d rewritten four times.

We were planning the quarter forward. Week one, week two, week three. Every version collapsed by row five.

A guy named Dan drew a line down the middle and wrote the number we needed at the far right of the board. Then he asked one question: “What has to be true the day before that?”

We answered it. Then we asked it again. And again.

Twelve steps back, we landed on Monday. Monday had one task on it. One call.

Planning forward gave me four pages and no direction. Planning backward gave me a phone number.

Most plans fail because they start where you are.

[Clint Kruger @clintkruger]

[Clint Kruger @clintkruger]

@chatbase This is a gem, you'll definitely want to see what's inside!!

[Clint Kruger @clintkruger]

@jackfriks sounds good, yeah it's a beautiful part and not too crowded, but still close enough to city action when you need.

[Clint Kruger @clintkruger]

when you're 20 you think you have all the time in the world

when you're 30 you realize you don't

when you're 40 you realize you never did

the time is now. it was always now. it will always be now

stop waiting for the right moment
