@samuelthompson Definitely check it out... I've literally replaced heygen with it for very short videos/reels.

[Daniel Mesa @danielmesa]

@samuelthompson Haha... Ditto

@samuelthompson Qwen3.6... Picking your brain on this one.

[Daniel Mesa @danielmesa]

Current meta: Grok → Claude → Replit → Hermes

Research → Plan → Build → Automate

Hours saved. Mind officially blown. Thanks @samuelthompson.

@VancouverGuero @lalanoguera Hahahaha

[Daniel Mesa @danielmesa]

@samuelthompson Ahahaha. This AI generated? Jk

[Samuel Thompson 🥽 @samuelthompson]

nobody left your product because it had too few features.

they left because it was confusing, slow, or didn't solve their actual problem.

stop adding. start removing.

[Samuel Thompson 🥽 @samuelthompson]

Want an extra $100,000 in 2027?

Build a micro-SaaS to $4k MRR

Run it for 6 months to prove stability

List it on an acquisition marketplace at 2-3x ARR

Go buy that new car or rental property or whatever you want

[Daniel Mesa @danielmesa]

@samuelthompson Amazing. Thanks Sam!

[Samuel Thompson 🥽 @samuelthompson]

Stop using AI like a search engine.

A search engine answers a question.
An agent finishes the job.

Once that clicks, you stop asking it things and start handing it work.

[VancouverGüero Bichi y Agave 🥃🐇 @VancouverGuero]

Why are the Tequila influencers, content creators, spirits writers etc. fumbling the “abocante” and “additive” thing in Tequila so badly?

[Samuel Thompson 🥽 @samuelthompson]

It's astonishing how many entrepreneurs launch a product without having conversations with their target market.

Talk to your customers BEFORE you build anything.

Not when you are trying to sell them something they might not even need.

[Daniel Mesa @danielmesa]

@samuelthompson That's another level!!!! What did you use?

[Daniel Mesa @danielmesa]

@VancouverGuero Net take: less "secret payroll," more standard earned-media-and-two-ambassadors playbook, run by a sharp PR agency. Real story is how much mileage they got from one Wine Enthusiast 100pt score vs. any influencer post.

[Daniel Mesa @danielmesa]

@VancouverGuero Zero #ad / #sponsored / #gifted disclosures on any post I reviewed, for what it's worth. And the Nielsen line itself didn't come from a social push — it surfaced inside a trade-press story about their new Reyes Beverage Group distribution deal. Built for distributors, not IG.

[Daniel Mesa @danielmesa]

@VancouverGuero Only fully-documented paid activation I found: a 2024 Cinco de Mayo IG giveaway with @thelucasassis_, run by an outside contractor. Her own portfolio lists the results — 61K views, 42K accounts reached, 317 new followers in 3 days. That's the receipt, if you want one.

[Daniel Mesa @danielmesa]

@VancouverGuero Their PR shop is Overton & Associates (NYC) — confirmed via the agency's own client page. Explains why Forbes, PR Newswire, and Spirits Business all repeat the same lines almost verbatim ("leader of the additive-free movement," the WhistlePig comparison, etc).
