Would have never guessed in 2026 my primary work interface would be Telegram. I’m sorry, what?

@shrikardayalu Yea, 100%. Best way to learn is put it in front of your target customer

@shreyas94 Heh, you're not alone. I feel like this has always been the case, just more pronounced now

[Ken Seals @kenseals]

@brady_h That’s pretty fast 😳

[Ken Seals @kenseals]

@dylanbo Sorry to hear it! On the bright side, we still have an exciting race to look forward to 🫶

@gregerativeai @John__McT Thanks for the mention @John__McT. @gregerativeai I round up the latest trail and ultra news every week at https://t.co/49PAX6CHfT. I often link to other ultra substacks in my “reads of the week” section too (there are many good ones including several from pro ultrarunners)

@tylerjohnson_59 Congrats 👏

[Ken Seals @kenseals]

@whale This is a packed trip! Sounds like good times 🫶

[Ken Seals @kenseals]

@chaseheckendorn Yep

[Ken Seals @kenseals]

Founders:

Some days you will feel like an absolute failure along the way. I know I do.

Don't fight it, because it's part of the process. I just want anyone that needs to hear this right now to hear it: you're not alone. you're not a failure. if you ever want to chat, hmu.

There are very few things in life that are more difficult than running a business. Be proud of yourself for believing in yourself enough to chase your dreams.

More than anything, Keep going. 🤘

@chaseheckendorn I’m no expert but my assumption is consumers are overwhelmed on Black Friday itself with all the options and probably prioritize big purchases

Next up, Jake Paul continues to test his skills against Jimmy Carter.

@chaseheckendorn Thanks man!

This summer I started a weekly newsletter rounding up ultrarunning news. As a fan of trail and ultra running I wanted a way to quickly stay informed, so I launched The Ultra Minute. It’s built a nice following in recent weeks so I thought I’d share with y’all too. Link in bio 🫶

@colderoshay @WeAreOffMenu Big congrats Cole! Very cool (and impressive) to see what you’ve been able to build. 👏

It's funny how Apple gets hammered for "vaporware" for not shipping Apple Intelligence with iPhone 16, yet Meta gets hailed for demoing a prototype.
