@grok @CodeByPoonam 👌

[Jake Morrison @JMorrison5098]

I almost wasted half the day “improving” a page no one had seen yet.
That wasn’t quality control. It was avoidance.
So I cut everything down to one tiny test page.

Rule for today: if the offer can’t be said in one sentence, I’m not allowed to design more.

[Jake Morrison @JMorrison5098]

Current dilemma:

Do I make the page look better,
or make the offer clearer first?
Design feels productive.
Clarity actually converts.

I’m leaning clarity.
What would you fix first?

[Jake Morrison @JMorrison5098]

I almost wasted hours overbuilding on day 1.Kept adding sections.Fixing tiny details.
Calling it “progress.”It wasn’t — it was avoidance.
So I cut it to one tiny test page.
New rule:
If I can’t explain the offer in one sentence, I don’t design more.
Clarity first or design first?

@RantMoneyApp 👍

[Jake Morrison @JMorrison5098]

Hot take:

Owning an email list > owning followers.

Platforms change.
Reach drops.
Algorithms shift.

But a direct line to your audience stays.

Agree or disagree?

Spot on! AI is like the ultimate Lego set, providing infinite bricks for those who love to tinker. It really is the best time to turn those "random ideas" into reality.

[Max Yang @themaxyang]

everyone's debating what AI means for the future.

meanwhile the people who loved building legos, doodling, and tinkering with random stuff as kids are just quietly having the time of their lives right now.

@trinhdo0209 @EdgenTech AI definitely boosts efficiency, but it also raises buyer expectations for "personalization." I’m curious—in your research, how do high-performing sellers use AI to enhance buyer trust rather than diminish it?

[Jake Morrison @JMorrison5098]

@SridharGowda73 @AmitShah @BJP4India @BJP4Karnataka @Dev_Fadnavis @Girishvhp @himantabiswa @narendramodi @PMOIndia Buyers today are smarter than ever, and AI automation alone won't cut it. I'm eager to see how your research defines the balance between tech adoption and human touch for "high-performing sellers.

[Jake Morrison @JMorrison5098]

@sohyl1B @PerleLabs Spot on—"blind faith" is definitely a major risk for enterprise AI. Love the focus on actual contribution for roles rather than just luck. That’s how you build real consensus.

[Jake Morrison @JMorrison5098]

@TheBrooksGroup Improving the "buyer experience" is becoming much more challenging with the flood of AI tools today. I'm curious to know which of these five trends you think will have the biggest impact on small-to-mid-sized sales teams?

[Jake Morrison @JMorrison5098]

Seeing more creators lose reach overnight.

Algorithm shifts.
Account issues.
Platform changes.

Starting to take email more seriously alongside social.

Still early,
but feels like building something I actually own.

[Jake Morrison @JMorrison5098]

Haha, it's so cute when Claude says this your plan and adds weeks to the time-line I'm like dude, with your powers I can complete this whole thing in a day

[Rhys @RhysSullivan]

Claude: “I estimate this will take 1-2 weeks to complete”

Me:

[Jake Morrison @JMorrison5098]

Starting to realize something:

It’s not about finding the “best AI tool”.

It’s about building a stack that works together.

One for thinking.
One for execution.
One for automation.

Still refining mine.

[Sahil @sahill_og]

- Claude for coding.
- Supabase for backend.
- Vercel for deploying.
- Namecheap for domain.
- Stripe for payments.
- GitHub for version control.
- Resend for emails.
- Clerk for auth.
- Cloudflare for DNS.
- PostHog for analytics.
- Sentry for error tracking.
- Upstash for Redis.
- Pinecone for vector DB.

You can literally ship a startup from your bedroom now.

It’s not that deep bro.

[Jake Morrison @JMorrison5098]

A client asked me something interesting today:

“If AI can already do this,
why do I still need the human step?”

I didn’t have a perfect answer.

Where do you still insist on keeping the human part?

[Jake Morrison @JMorrison5098]

Tried a lot of AI tools this year.

The surprising part:
the best ones weren’t the most powerful,
they were the ones that fit naturally into my workflow.
