Business is so much more rewarding when I depend on Christ.

Directing my dependency away from self and moving it into Him (Christ)

Faith, is an active transfer of reliance.

I must “set my hope fully on the grace that will be brought to me at the revelation of Jesus Christ.”

@signulll Such truth in this post. 😏

Sharing is caring.

Love to see what yall think.

[The Boring Marketer @boringmarketer]

this free resource will help you build world class Skill files for your agents...I'm giving it away, all I ask is you share the love so the max amount of people benefit

- it uses an iterative/recursive process to self improve
- it includes an example of what a great skill looks like

you still need to use your expertise/judgement as the baseline for the best results, but it will do a better job than Anthropic's skill creator skill

use it, enjoy it, share it

@recap_david CALICO flow

[David Roberts @recap_david]

I built an AI system that automates product video creation for entire e-commerce catalogs.

(Saves ~$30K per collection shoot and boosts on-site conversion rates by ~20%)

Here's what the system does under the hood:
→ Firecrawl pulls product images straight from any e-commerce collection URL
→ Calico AI turns them into realistic model videos capturing fit, texture, and movement
→ Every video starts and ends on the original product shot for seamless looping
→ Output is auto-labeled, sorted, and pushed directly to Google Drive
→ The entire pipeline runs in batch — zero manual intervention

The outcome: brands can give every single SKU a video asset, not just their bestsellers — and conversion lifts are immediate.

Static images don't cut it anymore.
Buyers want to see how a product moves before they commit.

If you want the full breakdown,
Like RT & Comment "CALICO".

I'll send you the complete n8n workflow, every prompt, and a step-by-step walkthrough video — totally free. (Must be following so I can DM you.)

No more $30K production shoots.
No more wondering if your product pages are leaving money on the table.

A life without God is a thoughtless and imitative life.

Proximity is Power

[Sage @sagehacks]

Culture doesn’t break loudly. It rots quietly.

> Silence creates stories.
> Stories create fear.
> Fear kills execution.

Say out loud what everyone is already thinking. Making implicit expectations explicit, especially after a leadership change.

[Sage @sagehacks]

Christ strength isn’t just for your victories. It’s for your valleys.
Not just when you’re winning, but especially when you’re barely holding on.

Phil 4:12-13

Don’t get 13 twisted without understanding 12 intimately. The secrets in 12.

Peace. ✌️

[Jeremiah Knight @iamrjknight]

After almost twenty years of sharing the gospel in India, I have lost count of how many of my Hindu friends, relatives, and strangers have said the same thing to me. They admit openly that the idols they bow before are not real gods. They know it. They say it without hesitation. It is spoken almost the way Westerns speak about Santa later in life. Not real, but useful. A noble lie they say. Something cultural. Something emotional. Something passed down.

Scripture already told us this would happen. Romans 1:18 to 23 exposes this. It is not ignorance. IT IS SUPPRESSION. The truth about God is known, yet deliberately pushed down. Not because the evidence is lacking, but because acknowledging the true God would demand repentance and surrender.

Men do not worship idols because they think stone has life. They worship idols because idols make no moral claims. They ask for rituals, not repentance. They accept offerings, not obedience. They comfort the conscience without confronting the heart.

This is why idolatry survives even when belief collapses. It is not faith that keeps it alive. It is fear of the living God. When the true God is removed, something must take His place. And so, men exchange the glory of the incorruptible God for images that demand nothing and change nothing.

And this is where we must be honest. This problem does not end outside Christianity. We have done the very same thing within it.

Many who call themselves Christians admit something similar, though they use different language. They do not deny Jesus, but they reshape Him. They speak of a Christ who never confronts, never warns, never judges. A Jesus who exists to comfort but never to command.

Just as idols are shaped to fit human desire, we have shaped our own version of Christ. A Jesus who affirms our choices, blesses our plans, and never speaks of repentance. A Jesus who saves without lordship and loves without holiness.

Scripture warns us about this. Paul says there will come a time when people will not endure sound teaching but will gather teachers to suit their own passions in 2 Timothy 4:3. That is not paganism entering the church. That is idolatry wearing Christian language.

Even superstition has found a place among us. Crosses are treated like charms, verses are repeated like spells, prayer is reduced to technique, and worship is shaped more by atmosphere than by truth. We anoint everything with oil as though the bottle holds power, sprinkle water as though holiness can be transferred by touch, and chase methods instead of repentance. Faith is measured by outcomes rather than obedience, by results rather than surrender. What was meant to draw us to Christ has been turned into ritual without reverence, practice without truth, religion without the fear of God. And in doing so, we unknowingly replace living faith with sacred habits that demand nothing from the heart.

This is not far from what Romans 1 describes. It is still an exchange. Not of stone this time, but of truth. We exchange the real Christ for a manageable one. A Jesus who asks for admiration but not surrender.

The tragedy is not that people reject Christ openly. It is that many worship a version of Him that does not exist. And a false Christ cannot save, no matter how sincerely He is spoken about.

The living God cannot be edited. He is not a symbol. He is not an idea. He is not safe. And until He is known as He truly is, even Christianity can become another form of idol worship.

🚨 GLOBALISM JUST DIED IN DAVOS

Howard Lutnick just walked into the lion’s den — and told the World Economic Forum exactly what they didn’t want to hear.

“Globalism has failed.”

Not whispered.
Not softened.

Declared — on their own stage.

He dismantled the entire WEF doctrine in minutes:
• Offshoring hollowed out the West
• Cheap labor destroyed innovation
• Net Zero made Europe dependent on China
• Sovereignty begins with borders
• Nations must control their industry, energy, and medicine

Then came the line that shook the room:

“Why would Europe agree to Net Zero when they don’t even make a battery?”

That’s the truth globalists can’t answer.

Green agendas without industry.

Climate pledges without sovereignty.

Moral posturing while outsourcing power to Beijing.

America First isn’t isolation.

It’s independence.

And Lutnick made it crystal clear:

The old model is finished.

The globalist experiment has failed.
And the future belongs to nations that put their people first.

Davos just heard the obituary — live.

We've talked a lot about this on the Pod, but the Great SaaS Meltdown has started and there's no going back.

What exactly is happening?

In short, hi growth, low/no profitability SaaS is no longer a winning strategy because the big question mark is the durability of that growth in the short term and, because of AI, the lack of profits in the long term. Every SaaS company has sold the dream (to investors and employees) that they will growth quickly now, and harvest lots of cash later. With AI, this assumption may be completely out the window.

Now the threshold question is whether their growth will be overtaken by a much cheaper AI-developed solution?

If you are a venture supported SaaS startup and are a legacy Heuristics+APIs+CRUD product, it is likely that a new AI oriented workflow is coming for you.

Investors in private markets can see this now and think that money to fund short term growth will not be rewarded. Investors in public markets no longer believe long term profitability is possible. They would rather pivot into something they think is more resilient.

This is a change in the risk calculus that has existed for the past 15 years and why the chart below is the chart below.

Good luck to all the players!

Knowledge without love is dangerous

[Wes Huff @WesleyLHuff]

“So people quote Abraham Lincoln, ‘Government of the people, by the people, for the people.’ They forget he’s quoting Theodore Parker in the 19th century, who was quoting of all people, John Wycliffe in the 13th century. And Wycliffe is saying, when we put the Bible in the hands of ordinary people, then you have a chance of government, of the people, by the people, for the people, because the Bible will be the foundation for self-government and self-rule. And without that, freedom will be impossible.” - Oz Guinness

[Alex Hormozi @AlexHormozi]

"Passion" comes from the Latin “passio” which means "suffering" and "endurance."

So people think that following your passion means doing something you love, when it really means finding something that you are willing to suffer for.

@WorkflowWhisper I’m curious to see this work. MCP please

[Sage @sagehacks]

@signulll Facts.

simply build to solve a problem that needs solving, rather than compete and try to reinvent the wheel. Unless one feels they could steward the resources better than the one currently.

don’t compete, improve or solve for…

great insights. true understanding.
