Call it a millennial crisis if you want.
But in my 30's, I realized l don't actually want the life I worked so hard for. I don't care about titles. I don't care about climbing anyone else's ladder. I care about time. I care about slow mornings. I care about peace. I care about bare feet at the beach with nowhere to be. I still want to make money.. just not at the cost of my life.
@ivanalefebvreh I know exactly what you mean. I loved San Francisco, until the downside began to get to me. It's probably something different for everyone who leaves. It was a long road, but I ended up here. It's not for everyone, nothing is, but I love it. As opposite as I can imagine.
Bernie Madoff’s darkest genius move wasn’t the Ponzi scheme — it was telling billionaires “no.”
Rory Sutherland explained it brilliantly: When ultra-wealthy people begged to invest, Madoff would say he couldn’t take their money right now. That rejection flipped their brains. All normal skepticism disappeared because being denied access by the “exclusive club” became unbearable.
Same psychology behind fake queues at nightclubs, impossible-to-join members clubs, and why scarcity feels so addictive.
🇨🇳 China's 15 Minute Cities are checkpoint cities, and residents are required to take a face scan to verify their vaccine passport, in order to leave or go home.
🚨🚨 Digital ID and facial recognition will take away your rights and freedom.
Most Chinese townspeople are living in 15-Minute cities —— Gated Compounds.
China is reactivating the COVID tracking app, aka vaccine passport, and turning it into ''Citizen Code'' app to track citizens' every move

When Russia invaded Ukraine, BP, Shell, and Vitol ran from Russian oil.
A 27-year-old trader ran toward it.
Three years later, Christopher Eppinger made $250 million, owns a €7M villa on the French Riviera, and a private jet.
The full story of how he did it below:
met a guy making $51,000/month by scraping reddit for the phrase "anyone got recommendations for" and emailing the posters within 2 hours
not joking
he opens reddit every morning
runs a search on 8 subreddits in his niche
finds people who just publicly asked for exactly what he sells
and emails them while the post is still on the front page
reply rate: 23%
average cold email: 0.3%
his is 76x higher
because these people literally just raised their hand in public saying "please take my money"
heres the exact phrases he searches every morning:
"anyone got recommendations for [service]"
"alternative to [competitor]"
"looking for a good [service]"
"got burned by [company], where do i go now"
"has anyone used [company] — are they worth it"
every one of these is a public declaration of buying intent with a timestamp on it
someone posted this 4 hours ago in r/[niche]:
"I need [service] urgently. Budget is $15K. Prefer someone who actually knows what theyre doing and isnt sketchy"
he saw the post at 9am
pulled the username
cross referenced linkedin
found the email
sent this at 10am:
"hey [name], saw your post in r/[sub] about needing [service] urgently. we do exactly that — last client we booked 34 qualified calls in a month. free 15 min call?"
reply at 10:11am
call at 2pm
signed $15K contract by 4pm
7 hours from public reddit post to signed deal
from reading reddit in the morning
this is the process:
step 1: find the 5-10 subreddits where your buyers hang out
step 2: run searches for "recommendation" "alternative to" "looking for" "anyone use" in those subreddits every morning
step 3: filter for posts under 4 hours old with clear buying intent
step 4: pull the username → cross reference linkedin → find their email
step 5: send a 2 line email referencing their EXACT post
step 6: warm call every positive reply within 30 minutes
thats it
last month:
- 187 reddit posts scraped
- 164 emails found (90% find rate)
- 38 positive replies
- 24 booked calls
- 11 closes
- $4,600 average deal
- $50,600 in revenue
from reading reddit while eating breakfast
heres why this layers perfectly on top of a normal cold email system:
your main campaigns are emailing 4,500 cold leads a day building pipeline at scale
reddit is a surgical strike on top of that
the guy on reddit literally JUST declared their problem hours ago
the declaration is the qualifier
theres no discovering pain points
they posted the problem
you showed up with the solution
the sales conversation is already 90% done before the call starts
its the highest intent cold email you can send because it might not even feel cold
they had the problem at 9am
you showed up at 10am
thats not a cold email thats a well timed introduction
and heres the part that should make every cold emailer sick:
every single person on this app is scraping apollo fighting over the same 50 million contacts
meanwhile reddit has 500 million monthly users posting their exact buying requests in public
timestamped
organised by niche
completely uncontested
free
nobody in cold email is scraping reddit
because nobody thinks of reddit as a lead source
they think of it as a place to post memes
while angry buyers are literally typing their credit card out loud every single day
one of the most profitable lead source on the internet has been sitting there for 15 years
organising itself
timestamping itself
qualifying itself
telling you their budget
telling you their pain
telling you what they just got burned by
and agency owners are still writing "hey firstname hope this finds you well" to marketing directors on apollo
go open reddit
search one of those phrases in a subreddit in your niche
youll find 10 hand raisers before your coffee gets cold
simples
p.s. if youre an agency owner with a proven offer and want us to setup a cold email system that books you 10-30 calls per month - DM me "EMAIL"
(you ONLY pay for qualified calls actually booked onto your calendar)

I found a pattern on Bitcoin that has a 100% win rate across 8.5 years of data. 18 out of 18 with zero exceptions.
Every week, Bitcoin opens at a price on Monday and if by Thursday the lowest price of the entire week has not dipped more than 0.25% below that Monday opening price, the week closes green. Every single time. 18 for 18 since 2017.
The probability of this happening by random chance is 1 in 131,072.
The average return when this pattern triggers is +10.98%. Not 2% or 3% but almost 11% in a single week.
The smallest green was +1.9%. The largest was +28.8%. Even the worst outcome was solidly profitable.
It works in every market condition:
2018 bear market: +28.8%
2022 bear market: +8.6%
2023 recovery: +21.9%
2024 bull market: +11.8%
March 2026, three weeks ago: +10.4%
Bull market, bear market or sideways, it does not matter. If sellers cannot push price even a quarter of a percent below the weekly open in 4 full days, buyers are in complete control. The rest of the week is just momentum playing out.
Every Thursday, check one thing. What was the lowest price of the week so far? If it never dropped more than 0.25% below Monday's open, the week closes green and there will be no further dump, you can stay comfortable in your longs.
Bookmark this and check this by Thursday close (today). If price has not dipped 0.25% below 66,000 (Monday open), there will be no further dump.
