We’re hiring on Google Cloud AI 👀 HMU :)

🚀 Today, I'm officially launching @ArushaWealth , a registered and regulated financial planning & wealth management firm for immigrants and children of immigrants building their American Dream. Over the past 18 months, I've directly helped 300 people get their green cards & indirectly helped so many more. But there’s one reality we keep seeing: that's just the beginning of the journey, not the end. We arrive with ambition & do everything right: we get into top schools, earn valuable degrees in the right fields, build strong careers & earn well, only to realize over time that high income doesn’t always translate into high net worth or lasting wealth. You're earning well but you see how much goes to taxes You're not sure how much should go to paying off your past student loans and how much to investing for your future You have family obligations back home that you can't ignore & you're not sure how to manage this without sacrificing your own goals Without a clear long term plan, you wake up down the line & realise you are stuck - permanently dependent on your paycheck to maintain the lifestyle you have. This is not the American Dream we came here for. We have officially launched @ArushaWealth a financial planning & wealth management firm for immigrants and children of immigrants in the United States. Built on my experience as a wealth advisor at Goldman Sachs Family Office, along with my training as a Certified Financial Planner® and my MBA from Columbia University, Arusha helps individuals & families put structure around what comes next through comprehensive financial planning, tax planning, investment management, and legacy and estate planning. I've worked with some of the wealthiest American families and seen exactly how wealth is built, protected & passed down in the U.S. With Arusha, our focus is on bringing to immigrant families that same level of planning and the opportunity to build lasting prosperity. Our clients so far include startup founders who have raised over $10M, and professionals across tech, finance, and law, including Microsoft, Amazon, the World Bank, private equity, and Big Law. 👉 If this resonates, feel free to reach out here: arushawealth.com/contact And if you’d like to stay in touch & receive occasional updates and guidance, you can subscribe to our newsletter here: immigrantmillionaire.substac… This is just the beginning. I’m excited to work with the next generation determined to build lasting wealth.

Remember, algorithms will always push the most negative images of black people. I’m a rapper and my organization has been sending books to prison for years! We just sent 1200 this month. If you’d like to support our work retweet and join us for $1/month 🤎Patreon.com/nonamebooks

When people say these things - builders sometimes get convinced what there doing won’t have a market. AI Agents are where Bitcoin was in 2014. Sure in 10 years everyone would have heard of AI agents but most people & industries have not touched the stuff yet.

SERVICE-AS-A-SOFTWARE. That is the real opportunity for 90% of us. I keep watching smart people pour months into building beautiful UI applications that Anthropic and OpenAI are going to absorb in a single product update. It will feel ARCHAIC in two years that we used to click through user interfaces to navigate databases and complete tasks. Agents just do it. One prompt. Done. 90% of the entire application layer is going to get eaten over the next decade. The dashboards. The forms. The CRUD. All of it. Where does that leave you? Exactly where the money is. Service-as-a-software. E.g. An ad agency that bakes its winning playbooks into AI systems and serves 1,000 clients with the quality they used to give 10. An IP law firm that encodes decades of expertise into AI skill files and sells legal services at infinite scale with near-zero marginal cost. A consulting firm. An accounting practice. A creative studio. Pick your vertical. The backend is AI. The frontend is your expertise packaged as a service. The moat is that YOU actually know what good looks like in your domain. You're not competing with OpenAI. You're competing with other service providers who are still doing everything manually. That's not a hard fight to win. Encode your knowledge. Automate your delivery. Sell the service. Scale infinitely. The technology gets commoditized. The person who knows how to USE it doesn't.

We're launching Claude Community Ambassadors. Lead local meetups, bring builders together, and partner with our team. Open to any background, anywhere in the world. Apply: claude.com/community/ambassa…

Today we’re launching Design Canvas for AI agents. AI can build a feature, but every "design tweak" turns into another prompt. We built a drag & drop editor for Claude Code, Cursor, Codex to explore and iterate on your UI, so you get the best design by default. No endless prompting. Ship better designs in code with Subframe.

Proof of life

This is one of the best and authentic rollouts since Kendrick. In the age of AI authencity is winning.

I’d be very surprised if Nigeria & South African authorities & producers allow this anti-competitive deal to expand in their markets.

Yet in still, some folks will find a way to defend the indefensible.

STATE OF THE VIBE MARKETING COMMUNITY tldr: rapid growth, going to start charging for access momentarily. last chance to sign up for free until 12pm ET. link in replies. updates: 1) between Slack Skool, 1700 members, 77% active 2) last week community members hosted two live events! 3) we've created a mods team of pro vibe marketers who are supporting new members 4) hosting a workshop soon with a multi-billion dollar company that you know & use all the time! 5) I'm building out a number of zero to one resources like my free resources site (may make it paid and give it to the community for free) 6) blown away w/ the energy inside, full of BUILDERS and doers, not just talkers 7) I haven't had one issue w/ bad actors or anything, everyone genuinely wants to help people...great culture 8) more workshops and partners coming soon, classes/courses for members coming soon 9) lots of membership requests now that I have to sift through...some not the quality I want, so we're going to have a nominal annual membership fee, starting today. not charging to try to make money, its a quality filter. 10) I'm open to collabs, our community is experimenting, reviewing, giving feedback on, and leveraging new tools and products daily.

The new standard for early stage companies is real initial traction and revenue to be fundable. AI just makes it too easy to get a useful product into the market with zero capital. Failing to have those early customers before attempting to raise is now a massive red flag.

The intensity of Warriors vs. Clippers makes more sense when you realize that it’s a bunch of guys in their 30s fighting for a week off work

When do you think sovereigns will start to issue their own stablecoins to absorb the dollar demand of their economies & earn a big on their fiscal incompetence?
