INSTEAD OF WATCHING AN HOUR OF NETFLIX TONIGHT.

This 1 hour Stanford lecture by Joel Peterson will teach you more about negotiation and getting what you want than most people learn in years.

Bookmark it and give it an hour, no matter what.

THE GOAL WAS NEVER DUBAI

[Ivan ⚜️ @LordMasterIvan]

Why would you ever move to a Dubai apartment when these exist

[Goldie @dezgoldie]

I believe in socializing basically 24/7. This has made me more money than anything else. High energy levels and constant social interaction.

[Coltybrah @coltybrah]

as i get older i realize the biggest epidemic is dudes with no real identity

if running gets cool they become runners. if tattoos get cool they cover themselves in tattoos. if being sober trends they become born again monks, mullet, coffee snob, golfer, carnivore, cowboy, whatever the algorithm tells them

whole personality built out of social contagion

thats why these dudes get smoked at everything. everyone can smell the fraud

no weight behind anything they do because none of it came from their soul. just trend hopping

be something real even if its ugly

I realised that I hate drinking. Didn't drink too much this year.

If I drink I wake up and my psychology is different for 1-2 days, I think about all the bad things I did and it haunts me. If I'm sober I don't give a fuck about nobody and my vibration is up.

It's all a downward spiral the next day after you got drunk. Hangover, laziness, negative emotions, anxiety, guilt, junk food, postponing tasks, empathy for people, missing some bitch, getting fat etc.

Sober is much better from this perspective.

Martin Shkreli came on MFM a while back and told Shaan and I something interesting:

PubMed has 40M+ biomedical papers.

It's the government database of every medical innovation ever logged.

And it's 100% free.

He told us if you sit there and read long enough you can become a billionaire.

In his case:

- Bristol-Myers had spent tens of millions developing a hypertension drug and quit on it.
- Shkreli's company eventually picked up the asset.
- Then he spent hours on PubMed and figured out the same compound could treat a rare kidney disease nobody was working on.

That drug is now FDA approved and the company (Travere Therapeutics) is worth ~$4B.

His takeaway was there are billion dollar opportunities hiding in plain sight, but they're hiding in "boring" stuff nobody wants to do.

Partnership ads on Meta are the closest thing to a free lunch I've seen in paid social in a long time. Across our accounts: 58% lower CPA, 40% higher ROAS, 2x CTR.

Partnership ads let you run ads under two handles at the same time (your brand's and a creator's). The ad shows up with the creator's name and profile attached, so you get built-in social proof and access to a wider audience without producing new creative.

The full breakdown vs brand-only ads across our accounts:

- CPM: $21 vs $26 (24% lower)
- CTR: 1.4% vs 0.7% (2x)
- CPC: $1.47 vs $1.65 (11% lower)
- Cost per reach: $48 vs $88 (45% lower)
- ROAS: +40%
- CPA: -58%

And the setup is way simpler than you'd think:

1. Request partnership access through Meta's Partnership Ads Hub at the creator level (not a code per ad).

2. That pulls all tagged content from the creator into your ad account without any extra action on their end.

3. You now have permission to launch new ads from their handle, download their Stories, iterate on their content, make mashups.

If you somehow haven't started this already, absolutely hop on immediately.

And if you want us to set this up on your account, DM me.

First business formation platform to do it.

Grant Cardone says you should go see a $90 million house even if you don’t have $90

"There's a house for sale for $90 million, let's say you don't have $90… you should go see that house, call the realtor, make up a whole story about who you are"

"This had something to do with my success"

I was fooled, really thought he had the edge to not feel the need for more money and less corruption. Little did I know he would just enrich himself and his family. My bad.

[BOSS @thebeautyofsaas]

what it takes to increase your luck (luckmaxxing)

exposure (groups, activities, environments) + risk taking + energy + right place + right time + removing any negative associations with yourself (no more unlucky jokes)+ recognizing how fortunate you are to live your life = luck

The IRL connection economy is a $400B+ market.

And companies are racing to own it.

In the last 6 months, $800M+ in capital was deployed on "IRL" bets.

@Tinder invested $60M into a new Events feature for connecting matches in-person. They're pivoting to IRL and offering experiences such as speakeasies, raves, and pottery classes.

@222place: raised a $10.1M Series A to curate blind social experiences for Gen Z. Personality-matched groups sent to hyperlocal nightlife events.

@JagermeisterUSA launched BestNightsVC - the only venture fund in the world dedicated solely to nightlife and IRL connection. 16 portfolio companies across 4 continents.

@timeleft: dinner with 5 strangers, every Wednesday. €18M ARR. 6,500 dinners/week across 200+ cities.

Dion: members-only social app where the first move is buying someone a real drink, redeemed IRL. 10K members, 30K+ on the waitlist founded by @revekkapal.

Pie: Bonobos founder @dunn built an IRL friendship app. $24M raised. 130K+ MAU.

@weroad_official: group trips for 20-30 year olds who don't know each other beforehand. $150M valuation.

Matchbox: is an algorithm-powered matching platform for IRL events and has powered over 100,000 connections. founded by @liamjmcgregor (prev @MarriagePact)

New dating apps like Known @Celesteamadon, Cerca @MylesCerca, and Ditto @AllenWangzian are aiming to improve connection amongst young people.

Billion-dollar companies are paying $$$ for community and events leads:
- @AnthropicAI: Marketing Events Manager ($255k)
- @tryramp: Community Manager ($223k)
- @tryramp: Events & Culture Manager ($181k)
- @duolingo: Senior Community Manager ($193k)
- @NotionHQ: Community Programs Lead

Everyone knows the more time we spend online, the more valuable real-life connection becomes.

The question isn't whether IRL wins.

It's who facilitates it best.
