Cooking new things atm

Right now, nearly everything being created and termed "crypto" and "onchain" has blinders on, namely towards being "the future of finance" in a narrow context.

Copycat apps are being painted over and over as new category kings in the same categories you can count on one-hand.

It's 2018 with a twist and the twist is things work better.

The real innovation that pushes the world forward like Bitcoin and Ethereum have will come from outside this kind of thinking. Including that which changes Wall Street for the better.

The criminally underfunded and understudied crisis right now is the rise of authoritarianism

No better good deed in this world than starting a business and giving talented people the ability to excel, feed their families and make their moms and dads proud all on their own.

@ohdatskate always has been

i always thought of work as “work exists and someone is hired to do it”

but work doesn’t just exist, someone has to come up with it, and that’s where nearly all economic value is created

that’s why top-down hierarchies lose, a million decisions can’t all be made from the top

@CliftonSellers Lack of resilience is what impedes most success

[Ian LeViness 🇹🇷 🇺🇦 🇨🇿 @frontierworlds]

@ashebytes All correct. Plus keeping them on those roads. Not authoritatively. Facilitating. As a guide. As someone they truly trust.

You should be using AI, but the key is how you use it.

Think of it as a co-intelligence, not a proxy for yours.

Start there.

I've personally learned a lot from @John_Vance over the years

Worth a read, whether you're a founder or just trying to level up your sales/ops game

[JV 🪂 @John_Vance]

8 problems I coach founders through every quarter:

1. "We need a VP of Sales." You need 25+ closed deals before that conversation makes sense or your VP of Sales will have leverage over you.

2. "Our AE isn't closing." There was no onboarding, training, call shadowing, or vision prep. The founder needs to motivate and teach in order to pass the torch.

3. "Outbound isn't working." It does. You're just talking to the wrong people about the wrong things

4. "We can't find good reps." Competition is real. AI has thrown a wrench in the system. Depending on your brand, you might have to overpay.. And that's okay.

5. "Pipeline looks healthy." -- Yet no agreements are in "Contract sent"

6. "We need a new CRM." The operations are the problem 9/10 times, retrain the team and have accountability.

7. "Our demo is solid." The demo is off a script and not off the top seller's playbook. Revise.

8. "Sales isn't scalable yet." Ie the learnings haven't been shared
