Two new data centers worth $25 billion just broke ground in...

New Florence, Missouri.

(That's 90 minutes west of St. Louis, 3 hours east of Kansas City.)

Amazon and Google are both building data centers on opposite sides of I-70.

Seeing two hyperscale builds at the same exit ramp is not something that comes around very often.

So if you are a specialty contractor, start making calls to get on these projects.

Amazon is holding a public open house June 23rd in Montgomery County.

Technically it's for residents. But if you do concrete, electrical, or HVAC work for a living... you probably want to be in that room.

This much money in one place means somebody's getting very, very busy.

Might as well be you.

Want a list of all the data center projects that are planned or under construction in the U.S.?

Comment "SPREADSHEET" and I'll send it over.

@nevmed I like the Ferrari lawn mower best. Where can I buy one? 🤣

$14.5 BILLION data center project just got the green light outside San Antonio.

CloudBurst is building a massive campus. 706 acres near San Marcos. 1.2GW of power. 3 million square feet. Somewhere between 10 and 12 data center buildings.

County signed off by ONE vote.

A 50MW phase already broke ground. Will be live by Q4 2026. The big Phase 1 (400MW) will start in 2026 to 2027.

And that's just one of three phases. We're talking years of work on this thing.

If you pour concrete, pull wire, run pipe, or build substations anywhere near Central Texas... start making calls now.

GET ON THE LIST OR WATCH SOMEBODY ELSE CASH THE CHECK.

There is $262.9 billion tied up in new data center construction right now.

Yet this is just the start of what’s coming:

The amount of training compute required to develop new AI models is doubling every five months.

And with all this power, AI will soon be able to rewrite its own code to make itself smarter.

But the entire thing is bottlenecked because we cannot find enough human beings willing to pull the copper wire.

I think about this often.

@Chicago1Ray Social Security will not be able to pay full benefits because at some point it will pay out more than it brings in. The money didn't disappear.

@MilaLovesJoe What are the sources for these numbers?

@AlexHormozi Mike always tops off my blinker fluid at no cost. Great guy. 5 stars.

@SuzeOrmanShow The best time to start is today!

[Ryan Hart @RyanHartWrites]

@SuzeOrmanShow Spot on, Suze! Roth 401ks can be used as emergency funds without paying taxes. But, you didn't mention that you need to be at least 59.5 years old, to avoid penalties and taxes. 😉

@ViperChill @MattGiovanisci I agree. Your headline tweak is easier to understand.

[Ryan Hart @RyanHartWrites]

@TatsukiThomas What an epic year! congrats

[Ryan Hart @RyanHartWrites]

@merrymakingmack Such a great reminder!

[Ryan Hart @RyanHartWrites]

@AlinDragu Epic manifesto! I would add step 0: Help someone solve a problem. If you don't know who you serve, the other steps are pointless.

[Ryan Hart @RyanHartWrites]

@AlinDragu Well said!
