A few hours of work on a Sunday afternoon = a live beta for a web app i’ve been dreaming up.

What a time to be alive 😊

@Codie_Sanchez Facts. I can see monk mode positively benefiting someone who desperately needs to get away from people that drag them down. Because it’s far better than the alternative. But momentum builds when you get out and about. GTFO!

We are not in a tech bubble. We are in a tech Big Bang. Expanding in every direction at once.

Giving your AI tools direction to "push back and ask questions" before moving to execution produces significantly stronger outcomes

As AI eats into middle management jobs:

Every startup and emerging franchise brand needs to play this on repeat.

David Barr is one of our investors / partners. In just 75 seconds he delivers THE hard hitting message that so many need to hear.

As an industry we need to get away from celebrating the number of units sold.

And get back to focusing on building systems that empower “average franchisees, with an average work ethic, on an average day” to build a business with predictable cash flow.
