This man broke Instagram this weekend.

8.8M views and 249k followers since Friday.

Kumar is (allegedly) a retired accountant who wants to be poppin on the internet.

Idk whether this dude is real, or AI, or a brand's campaign.

In any case it's gold because of the character and the contrast. Accounting is one of the textbook examples in content because it can be SO boring or SO interesting in the right context.

This dude uses it as a platform to introduce a ridiculous character. Closing with the viral wife demand is perfect too cuz it's a dated trend. It builds the character more.

No idea whats going on here, either excellent creative strategy work or somebodies uncle is a legend

@amasad Having people self selecting people of out of your life is one of the rarely spoken about cheat codes to life.

@Mochievous Can almost always score a hard to get item at retail. Check luxury stores in the airport in Europe to find Rolexes, Hermes bags, Chanel etc and all tax free. Iykyk

This is the wildest World Cup story yet. If someone in Toronto sells a ticket above face value they get fined $25,000 yet the city of Toronto bought 3,500 World Cup tickets early and then sold them to taxpayers at a markup as a “revenue generation strategy.” What the hell man.

Todd had terminal ALS and just ordered a wheelchair—then DMSO gave him his life back

His brain fog vanished. Breathing crises stopped in 3 days. He dragged 340-lb beams across a road. His reflexes healed.

His recovery shocked his doctors—but ALS is far from the only thing DMSO helps.

James Miller MD found roughly 80% of neurological issues people see neurologists for simply go away once he gives them DMSO.

Approximately 2500 studies support its use for conditions ranging from Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s to strokes, MS, paralysis, chronic pain, spinal injuries, depression, epilepsy, and Down syndrome.

Here, I will show how DMSO can cure many "incurable" neurological disorders.🧵

What did Michael Jordan think about 3-point shooting?

“My 3-point shooting is something that I don’t want to excel at, because it takes away from all phases of my game. My game is a fake, drive to the hole, penetrate, dish off, dunk, whatever, and when you have that mentality, as I found out in the first game, of making threes, you don’t go to the hole as much. You go to the 3-point line and you start sitting there waiting for someone to find you. And that’s not my mentality, and I don’t want to create that because it takes away from my other parts of my game.”

@BrianMRey Read The Mom Test by Fitzpatrick, interview 20 or so people in the problem space/target segment, then run a landing page or presale to convert talk into a real commitment.

@PhantomStays @grok shake this out and find the non-workable parts of this. Keep it concise.

Bitcoin isn't crashing below $60k because Saylor sold 32 BTC.

It's crashing because $19 trillion of new AI market cap got created in 12 months... 13x the size of Bitcoin.

The most liquid risk asset on earth is being drained to fund the biggest IPO cycle since 2000.

When I first became a dad I was genuinely worried my career would suffer.

The opposite happened. 3 things changed that I wasn't expecting.

First, a child cuts the filler from your life instantly.

I used to sit at my desk for 14 hours and feel like I was crushing it when in reality maybe 4 of those hours were actual work and the rest was meetings that didn't need to happen, scroll sessions I told myself were research, and "quick calls" that turned into 90 minutes of nothing. A child deletes all of that overnight.

Because you literally don't have the time anymore. Every hour matters in a way it didn't before. You could be with your kid, working on your startup, exercising, having dinner with your wife, sleeping. When your time is actually full of things you care about, the filler can't survive. I'm shipping more now than before my kid was born. Half the meetings. Faster decisions.

I stopped saying yes to things out of politeness because my time has a very real cost now that I can feel in my bones.

Second, your risk tolerance goes up, not down.

Everyone assumes having a kid makes you play it safe. For me it created this urgency to build something real while my kid is young enough to not remember the hard parts. That urgency is more useful than any productivity system I've ever tried.

Third, your thinking just gets clearer.

I don't know how else to explain it. You stop deliberating for days and just make the call. You stop chasing every opportunity and only chase the ones that actually excite you.

Something about being responsible for another human being gives you this filter that cuts through the noise instantly. Before my kid, I'd go back and forth on a decision for a week. Now I make it by lunch and move on.

I used to think having a kid was the thing I'd do after I built the company. Turns out the kid made me better at building the company. Wish someone had told me that sooner. So I'm telling you.

I know this sounds like something a new dad says to justify it. I thought the same thing when other dads told me. Then it happened to me and I understood.

I think you will too.
