Pivots and Progress

Lost everything in 2009. Rebuilt from zero. The next disruption is already here & bigger than 2009. I help owners pivot before it's too late. AI | Coach

I have created AI Agents to handle both my personal and each business I’m involved with. They are built to help me with ideas, scenarios, tasks, research and even write code to create. Every business owner needs this.

[Pivots and Progress @Menright5]

So many small businesses can benefit from AI agents today. We have built several for our 3 service businesses.

Clarity Act is the pivotal battle in the War between old money and young money.

Passing it won’t win the war, but it will set the stage.

AI/Robotics isn't coming for jobs someday. It's happening now!

AI for White collar. Robotics for Blue collar.

Most small businesses are still playing an old game.
The ones who survive will pivot NOW.

I help with that. Follow along. 👊

In the near future, Stable coins will be the largest US Treasury Bond holders, overtaking Nations.

To fully understand just how remarkable today’s exchange with Colombia was, you need to understand how Washington DC has traditionally worked through these sorts of issues, and the different way it works now under Trump.

I’ll illustrate.

Traditional Approach:

1. Colombia announces it will not take our repatriation flights.
2. On Monday, the State Department convenes an interagency task force with DoD, NSC, DEA, INS, ICE, Commerce, Treasury and Homeland Security.
3. The task force meets for four days and develops a position paper.
4. The position paper is rejected by the Secretary of State, who is unhappy that insufficient equity considerations are built into the process.
5. The task force reconvenes a week later to redevelop three new, equity-centric courses of action and create a new position paper.
6. The process is delayed a week because Washington DC gets three inches of snow.
7. SecState approves the new position paper for interagency circulation, and considerable input is received from the heads of other departments so the task force must reconvene.
8. The original three proposed responsive courses of action are scrapped in favor of a new, fourth course of action that achieves the worst aspects of the three prior courses of action but satisfies the interagency.
9. Someone in State who disagrees leaks to the Washington Post, who writes a story about how ineffective the Presidential administration is.
10. The White House Chief of Staff sets up a session three days later to brief the President, who approves the new fourth course of action.
11. Over a month after the issue is first raised, the State Department Public Affairs Officer holds a press conference announcing that Colombia has agreed to try to send fewer criminals into the US and everyone declares victory.

Trump Approach:

1. Colombia announces it will not take our repatriation flights.
2. After a par-5 third hole where he goes one under par, Trump uses his iPhone to post on social media as to how the USA will destroy Colombia’s economy if they do not do what the USA demands.
3. By the time Trump gets to the par-4 sixth hole, Colombia’s President has agreed to repatriate all the illegal Colombians in his own plane, which he will pay for.
4. Trump finishes three under par and goes to the clubhouse for a Diet Coke where he posts a gangsta AI image of himself and the new FAFO Doctrine.
5. Winning.

See the difference? It’s called LEADERSHIP.

For the record: I would be totally OK with paying higher tax rates (30%+) if I knew tax money was not used irresponsibly.

#BTC broke it's all time high. Those who stayed - know. And those who know - know!

These are considered "chokepoints". Banks, Governments and Institutions are rightfully fearful of crypto and will likely fight to retain control via these chokepoints. Have alternatives.

3 Lessons I learned from the last crypto cycle (thread):

[Pivots and Progress @Menright5]

3) On/Off Ramps Matter: Perhaps the greatest risk to retail investors is the ability to get fiat money out of crypto. Until Blockchain transactions are widely adopted by retail businesses, it will be necessary to convert to fiat.
