An ever changing and evolving story of humanity and love.

@ClayCollins Literally used those so many times!!! Especially with pulsing button ;)

I've been marketing forever and I swear nothing converts like these early Leadpages templates.

Ugly as sin. Beat every polished page I've built since.

Especially this one below. The attractive woman looking directly at the opt-in box on the right. Something about it has never stopped working.

Gary Halbert had it right: if it's ugly as hell, it'll probably sell.

Feeling some @leadpages nostalgia today.

Are You Lighting Up Your Life? Or Burning Yourself Up?

Everyone has different levels of grief going on in their life.

Many of these forms of grief can be seen on people's bodies (for example, being overweight), but many forms of grief aren't seen (for example, the alcoholic who hides their drinking).

When there is internal grief, no one can necessarily see it just by looking at someone.

The common denominator is they are ALL fighting battles; Often silent battles.

Some people are good at fighting these battles, but a lot of people, especially Entrepreneurs, constantly get into battles they don't know how to fight.

And, interestingly, people that fight a lot of fires can oftentimes be arsonists.

The question is this: Are you lighting flames that are lighting up your life and the world, or are you burning yourself up in your own house?

Wow. The government just released their first local AI model

It’s a very small model that can run in your browser and strips data of personally identifiable information

It’s not a chat bot, it’s a model that has one very small, concise purpose

I think this is a big part of the future of AI

Small tiny models that can run in browsers and on phones that do 1 very specific purpose well

For instance, I’m training a small local model right now that runs a small security check on your codebase every 20 minutes. Can run on most decent computers

This is a new category of software you can monetize big time

Ideas you could start building now if you have a decent GPU to train a tiny models (could do this with a DGX Spark):

• Tiny model that de-sloppifies code
• Tiny model that makes text sound more human
• Tiny model that monitors and keeps agents healthy
• Tiny model that routes prompt to the most efficient models
• Tiny model that manages your email/calendar

Writing by hand = 40% better retention. I refuse to let AI turn me into a "camouflage lazy" version of myself. https://t.co/obgeHxO51V

In marketing you have to look at the control as the enemy. If you love your control, you'll rest on your laurels and never improve.

Truly unbelievable

GLM 5.2 just released and it's an open weights model you can run locally

The insane part is, it's just as good as Opus 4.8

Unlimited, free super intelligence running on your desk

In this video I cover how it works, and how to set up your first local model:

Unpopular opinion: AI is creating a generation of intellectually malnourished people.
Not because AI is bad.
Because too many people are using it to replace thinking instead of amplify thinking.
The danger isn't artificial intelligence.
It's artificial competence.

[Mike Hill @MikeHill]

@jimkwik I literally spoke about this topic at the most recent Flight Club mastermind. There are some very real dangers that people are not aware of and they have nothing to do with the economy or job losses.

@real_n3o Mid project and all :(

The Most Powerful Force In The World?

What do you think the most important force in the world might be?

Money? Power? Fame? Intelligence? Grit?

Well, some people might say: LOVE.

Now, before you write off love, think about it…

As @AnnieLalla talks about, true love can be a “crucible for self-development, a path for transformation, and your own personal self-actualization.”

How so?

In love, your partner becomes a mirror. They reflect your brilliance AND your shadow. The relationship can ignite awareness, and, again, as Annie says, “emancipate us from smallness” and “grow us up in the areas we’ve stopped growing”.

What else can love do for us?

It can INSPIRE us to become the BEST VERSION of ourselves with the most important people in our lives.

It can make us more RESPONSIBLE for how we handle our lives and relationships.

It can TEACH us to be more conscious of our thoughts and actions, and, ultimately, love OURSELVES more.

Today, think about what @kamalravikant says: “Love is a fundamental thing we are wired for.”

Love is a fundamental thing YOU are wired for.

Success traps are harder than failure traps. Your identity is tied to past wins. True character shows how you treat those with less power.

AURA this month had 90 production releases.

Many people think:
1st, 2nd, 3rd… are random abbreviations.
But they actually come from:
firST
secoND
thiRD
Your brain remembers better when information stops feeling arbitrary.
That’s a secret to faster learning:
Don’t force memorization.
Find the pattern.
Your mind is built to recognize meaning, structure, and connection.
What’s a random fact you learned later actually had a hidden pattern behind it?

The Bigger Market Trap

There’s a simple lesson about niching that most Entrepreneurs miss.

Everyone thinks the bigger the market, the bigger the opportunity.

A lot of times, it’s the reverse.

Think about a company with salespeople assigned to different territories.

They have a zip code area they can go sell in.

They do face-to-face sales.

A lot of it is cold calls. Walking into businesses. Going to the dry cleaner, the clothing store, the office, or whatever business is in their territory, and asking, “Do you need this?”

And every time the company hires a new salesperson, they have to shrink the territory.

Let’s say there are six territories.

Every time they hire someone new, the salespeople go crazy.

They say, “You’re taking away territory for me to go sell.”

But every time they shrink the territories, everyone’s income goes up.

Why?

Because they’re forced to drive less distance.

They’re forced to be more concentrated.

They’re forced to go deeper with the people who are actually in their territory.

That’s why niching is so important.

That’s why specificity is so important.

Everyone thinks a bigger market means a bigger opportunity.

But the bigger you try to target everything, the less you focus on what exactly you’re trying to solve, who exactly you’re trying to solve it for, and who actually has the money to pay for it.

So the question is:

Out of all the things you could address…

Out of all the problems you could solve…

Out of all the people you could serve…

What are the things people are already looking to solve, haven’t solved yet, and are willing to pay money for?

And are you targeting the people who actually have the money to pay for it?

That’s where focus happens.

That’s where depth happens.

That’s where income happens.

If you want word of mouth marketing, you've got to give people something worth talking about.
