Sundar Pichai’s powerful message to the Stanford Class of 2026 🔥

“You have thousands of moments ahead of you.
The important thing isn’t to get them all right;
it’s to find a way to keep moving forward.”

This 2-minute clip is pure motivation.

Save it.
Watch it when you feel stuck.

What’s your biggest takeaway from this? 👇

Ken Griffin ($51.8B) says sales is the most important skill you can learn.

Whether you're pitching an idea, landing a job, or raising money, someone has to be convinced. The people who can do that get further, faster.

Learn to sell. Everything else gets easier. 👇

Most people think high performance is about motivation

It’s not

Dr Gio Valiante has worked with elite athletes investors executives and other high performers to understand what separates people who consistently perform at their best from everyone else

Some lessons from this conversation:

→ Confidence is built through action
→ Behavior changes faster than overthinking
→ Mastery matters more than motivation
→ Your environment can shape your performance
→ Focus is a skill you can train
→ Pressure can either break you or sharpen you
→ Long term excellence comes from systems not short bursts of motivation

The biggest takeaway:

You don’t rise to your goals

You perform at the level your habits environment and mindset allow you to

If you want to perform at a higher level this is worth watching 🎯

President Donald Trump brought together some of the biggest names in tech and AI at the White House.

The meeting included executives from companies like Nvidia, Meta, Google, OpenAI, Anthropic, and xAI to discuss the future and safety of artificial intelligence.

The biggest development was a voluntary agreement in which the companies committed to stronger internal controls, independent audits, and additional oversight of their AI systems.

The meeting showed just how quickly AI has moved from a technology story into a much bigger conversation about business, safety, and the future of the economy.

@aishivamm Interesting to see AI leaders and policymakers coming together to discuss safety and the future of AI The focus on stronger controls and independent oversight is especially important as AI becomes a bigger part of the economy

Donald Trump hosted the CEOs of major companies on Tuesday. Nvidia, OpenAI, Meta, Google, Anthropic, and Palantir were among the companies that attended and signed a non-binding agreement with the White House. The agreement included provisions regarding safety, self-regulation, and how the development of AI should be monitored — or, as Mr. Trump calls it, AI.

Twenty of the most powerful men in the world — with influence far beyond political power — stood alongside the President of the United States and pledged that, despite all the criticism, a future with AI could be brighter for humanity.

In this video, you can see Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, Jensen Huang, Dario Amodei, and Sundar Pichai alongside Donald Trump, creating one of the most surprising news events I have witnessed.

Nailed it! Amazon founder Jeff Bezos on AI & jobs:

I know there’s a lot of concern that many smart people have, that AI is going to make humans redundant. I totally disagree with this point of view. In fact, AI is going to create a labor shortage … We have an endless set of things to invent

We were never short on ideas. We were just short on ways to make them real.

[Shivam Kushwaha @shivam100x]

@aishivamm AI may replace some tasks but it will also create entirely new opportunities and jobs we haven’t even imagined yet The bigger question is how quickly we adapt to that change

[aishivam @aishivamm]

Nailed it! Somebody created an AI-generated ad portraying 2036, where humans pedal at Energyme gyms to power AI after robots displace 80% of jobs 👏😂

Co-founded by Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Sam Altman.

Hits even harder now that Anthropic, OpenAI, and xAI just called for slowing frontier AI development.

Absolutely brilliant.

@aishivamm AI moving from generating content to accelerating real scientific discovery is a huge shift. This is where things get really interesting

[aishivam @aishivamm]

Most people would have quit after losing 92%.

Adam Foroughi didn’t.

The AppLovin CEO went through a massive drawdown — and came out with lessons about building, investing, and understanding where technology is heading.

Some of the ideas from this conversation:

Why AppLovin treated advertising like a machine-learning problem
What founders can learn from surviving extreme volatility
Why distribution can be as powerful as the product
How AI is reshaping advertising
The massive opportunity in gaming and digital ads
Why long-term thinking matters when the market turns against you

The interesting part isn’t the 92% drawdown.

It’s what you learn when everything goes wrong.

This is one of those founder conversations worth watching all the way through.

The best AI tools shouldn’t just generate.

They should learn how you work.

That’s why the “taste” feature in @videoclaw caught my attention. Your previous work can actually help shape what comes next.

@heyrohitai @videoclaw this voice cloning feature is next level

143 investors said NO.

Today, WHOOP is worth $10 billion

Will Ahmed didn’t build WHOOP by following what everyone else believed.

He started with a personal problem, got rejected over and over again, came close to running out of money, and still kept going.

That part of the story is what makes this interesting.

Because when you’re building something new, the market doesn’t always understand it immediately.

Sometimes:

rejection isn’t proof that the idea is bad.

It can simply mean you’re early.

WHOOP started with a simple belief:

What if you could continuously understand what was happening inside your body?

Years later, that idea became a company used by elite athletes and millions of people around the world.

The lesson for founders:

→ Don’t confuse rejection with failure
→ Build around a real problem
→ Stay close to the customer
→ Be willing to bet against conventional thinking
→ Give the idea enough time to prove itself

143 investors said no

One founder kept going.

That’s the difference.

“AGI has arrived.”

That’s not a prediction anymore.

At least, according to OpenAI President Greg Brockman.

In this conversation, he talks about what the AGI era could actually look like:

→ AI that can use computers
→ Agents that can work for hours
→ AI solving complex scientific problems
→ New approaches to software & cybersecurity
→ AI assistants that don’t just answer — they take action

But here’s the part I find more interesting:

If AI can actually perform meaningful work autonomously, the biggest change won’t be another chatbot.

It will be the shift from:

“AI helps me do the work.”

to

“AI does the work for me.”

That’s a completely different world.

And we’re already seeing the early signs of it.

The debate over whether Astra truly qualifies as AGI will continue — there isn’t even a universally agreed definition of AGI.

But one thing is becoming harder to ignore:

AI agents are getting much closer to operating like digital workers.

The next few years could be wild.

[Shivam Kushwaha @shivam100x]

@aishivamm The biggest shift isn’t smarter chatbots it’s AI becoming capable of owning entire workflows end-to-end

[aishivam @aishivamm]

Most people think building a $1M business requires a big team.

But what if it takes 2 people and 90 days?

AI is changing the economics of building a company.

You can now automate parts of:

→ Product development
→ Customer support
→ Marketing
→ Research
→ Sales
→ Operations
→ Content creation

The interesting part isn’t that AI can make existing teams more productive.

It’s that a tiny team can now attempt things that previously required an entire company.

The next generation of billion-dollar companies might start with just a few people.

Small team. Massive leverage.

The question is no longer:

“How many people do we need?”

It’s:

“How much can a small team accomplish with AI?”

[Shivam Kushwaha @shivam100x]

@aishivamm The real shift isn’t just fewer people
It’s that AI is making small teams capable of doing work that once required entire departments. The founders who learn to leverage that early will have a serious advantage
