Blue collar work ethic. Let’s go.
Tech founders: you only need 2 things when you pitch VCs. Simple, but not easy.

Comment, and share this with friends who are fundraising.
Right before my 24th birthday, I sold my first startup to Groupon, the fastest growing tech company at the time.

I was a millionaire, but had my middle age crisis then and there at 23. When you don't have money, it seems like having it will make you happy and solve everything.

But money itself doesn't do anything. Money is simply a conceptual commodity and a unit of exchange. Instead I viscerally learned that having a mission, a purpose, and living a life with a tribe of friends & family fighting with you in the trenches is what gets me started every single day.

Choose a worthy mission, money follows. Because money is just a denomination and a unit of exchange and nothing in of itself.

Comment if you agree/disagree, and share with friends who are chasing money with no purpose.
Matthew 19:23-26: "And Jesus said unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, It is hard for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of heaven. And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God."
Live reaction to GOP US presidential debate where the anchor namedrops @Jake Paul in his question to @Vivek Ramaswamy and TikTok.
My reaction to a viral tiktok clip on business and the grind.
@Jake Paul on what’s hard about startups and venture capital.
Don’t be just the “idea guy” or the “business guy”.

A lot of new founders focus on storytelling the perfect narrative i.e “book report” for their business. Instead spend all that time and energy building the product, delivering the service, and talking to customers.

Talk less about the plan, work on implementing the plan. Show numbers and results. That’s how you get VC’s interested in wiring funds.
Purpose of my channel is to show (not tell) how real businesses are built in Silicon Valley and
Wall Street.

No bullshit cars, watches, and PJ's to trick you on what it actually takes to build a durable, sustainable technology / vc-backed business.

No courses or seminars. Just knowledge sharing and learning. Share and tag your friends who are really about building businesses.
Seek failure.

Failing all the different ways means eliminating all the wrong paths. If there are no failure paths left, then success is inevitable.
Too many new startup founders focus on raising money vs actually building product or talking to customers.

Product progress or customer insight more valuable than any fundraising deck. Real entrepreneurs build, not talk.
If you're building a boring business that no one else cares about, I am interested in you.

Cool industries are the worst. Everyone wants to partake in them. I much rather be boring, create a boring monopoly, and have no competition. Then I will laugh all the way to the bank iS while everyone else is worried about being cool.
Survive longer than any of your competitors, and then you default win.

My entrepreneurial spirit animal is the cockroach 🪳

Most people give up. If you don't, you will default beat 99% of people. Figure out how to default stay alive and incrementally improve. On a long enough time horizon, you win.
Everyone’s always on their phones and laptops.

Some people’s typing, tapping, and calls make $15 buck an hour; others do the same typing, tapping and calls and make $15 million bucks.

Figure out the keystrokes that give you $15 million vs $15. It’s all essentially a video game. Figure out the rules and play hard.

Send this video to your friends who need to stop mindlessly scrolling Tiktok feeds full of thirst/money traps.
"Fight or flight" or the adrenaline response is the natural human response to a threat. Useful to escape a predator or fight to the death on the streets.

But this is the worst way to react in business.

In business, conflicts are economic. They are product match ups, marketing competition, or lawsuits. These are multi-stage battles and very slow and protracted.

The best way to approach a business conflict is to methodically strategize with a cool, calm, and collected mind. Revenge is best served cold

Send this to your friends who need to calm down their emotions, so they can actually win in their business.
n honor of @tryramp announcing a massive $300M Series D at $5.8 billion dollar valuation, I’m releasing some more unpublished CEO @eric.glyman clips.

This one is opportune: Eric’s one of the most successful friends I have. How does he keeps grounded?
The world seems to mirror the energy you give it.

Practice your own Steve Jobs-ian reality distortion field and express optimism, big dreams, and excitement, and the world tends to respond positively back.

Take on a victim mentality, and alas everywhere you look, someone is looking to screw you over.

Take this mindset into startups. Don’t forget it when the world wants you give up.
