The best small businesses of the next decade will run on a barbell: One side: leverage AI for ruthless speed and scale. The other side: be aggressively, inconveniently human. Show up in person.

How to become rich (1990s vs. 2026)... 2000s: • Go to college • Slave away in IB or Consulting • Buy a house • Retire at 60 2026: • Learn AI implementation • Buy a business and make it more efficient • Use profit to buy assets • Sell some companies at 40 • Never retire unless you want to

If no leaders go to jail for: - Somalians defrauding us for billions - the Epstein predators harming our kids Who’s getting the pitchforks? If we miss a tax payment it’s straight to jail sooo… Seems pretty damn bipartisan.

Don’t take life so seriously. Most things won’t kill you. Fear is always greater than reality. Do the thing that scares you.
