“you got lucky” the luck👇

Going to Seoul for a couple a days - anyone I should meet?

Looking for a designer that can help us spin up (couple a month) new landing pages feature updates (in @framer) and announce it on our socials.

It is unbelievable how valuable 1 person can become simply by mastering how to use AI properly. From the founder to cleaner of the office. Genuinely the biggest opportunity of our time.

Friends - what's the best WhatsApp, iMessage, e-mail and Instagram CRM?

Found a really nice couch for my place in Tokyo. They told me it's going to take three months to deliver. Bro, 3 months? Living in Hong Kong really makes you realise how fast things move here.

I had around a €1.000 in my bank account and spent the last €700 on a ticket to Hong Kong. Back in the day I did nothing but being on the road and working at the same time - ask anyone who knows me - I’ll always whip my laptop out without excuses. That said; times are very different now. My work used to be a lot of action, today it’s a lot of thinking and planning which my environment really helps with. So yes and no - kind of depends on the stage your in based on my experience.

I’ve realised over the last couple of years how important creating a creative/productive space is. Helps me feel good, shoot content and get creative to solve hard problems.

Guys, where can I buy Pokémon cards in Tokyo?

You can sign-up via the website. So far we've tested it with around ~1m orders and it's working really well. Still improving parts here and there but expecting to roll this out soon :)

1.25 billion dollars a month — a lot of people don’t fully fathom the scale of these companies and how much actual cash is deployed. Crazy!

.@Danieldalen knows 🫡

I went from being lost and broke watching @DanielDalen to actually working with him and tens of 7-10 figure ecom brands 2 years ago I took a gap year I was a professional football athlete, living with my parents and working in a warehouse Toxic relationship with my ex, training 7 days a week, 8-hour shifts plus 3 hours of football training on top of that €4.50/h in the warehouse I was in a dark place,I couldn't prioritize myself I was chasing my father's dream of me being a professional athlete while trying to live up to whatever my ex girlfriend wanted me to be I was doing what everyone else wanted me to do It got so bad that going to the toilet was literally the only place I could be alone with my own thoughts I was watching Daniel a lot during that time It was one of the few things that gave me hope, it helped me hear myself and realize that deep down I wanted to become an entrepreneur One day I just told myself - I can't keep living like this Something has to change I moved abroad, stopped my football career, ended the relationship, started college, launched my email agency And most importantly I started prioritising myself Every time I struggled, I'd go back and watch Daniel He was a role model and a proof for me that I can build something big Fast forward 2 years - I dropped out of college after my first year, scaled my business, and started working with 7-10 figure brands And the biggest personal win of all - I got to work with Daniel Dalen himself, handling the entire email marketing for his latest LENSE launch, NO.004 Working with him showed me how genuine he is, exactly the same person you see in his videos This whole experience proved to me that if you want something badly enough, you can make it happen It'll stay with me forever and it'll keep pushing me to go harder, stay consistent and leave even more skin in the game Nothing is impossible If you want to know exactly how I helped Daniel with the launch, drop a comment and I'll break it all down Love!

How To Document Your Journey Authentically (The Blueprint And Gear I Use) youtu.be/bK6283rQ7c0

I think it's time for a second channel. Will continue to share the two week long documentation format on my main channel. Will start carving out some time to go deep on some of the things I'm learning :) Feel free to drop some suggestions

Launching some company merch for the @ecomflow3pl team. Will also launch a limited public drop where we’ll donate the profits to charity (we’ll keep doing these with new designs) Any designers that want to help out? Already got the supplier (t-shirts I always wear myself - boxy fit)

Great question! Heavy overhead, marketing budget, lengthy cash flow cycles, with a premium margin. It’s working now, but if you'd put a gun to my head and asked me what's gonna happen in 10 years' time? I’d tell you this. The quality of products produced in the East (China) is unbeatable. The only gap that exists right now is the understanding of branding and the feeling it leaves with the customer. With this drop I'm trying to show that the price doesn't define the quality and that the source where these are produced is of the same quality as all the other big brands. Long term play would be to help the 'source' bridge that gap - penetrate the DTC market with the same supply and to the existing ever-growing demand of the consumer for a fraction of the price. Mid-term play is for brands to stop being a client to their manufacturer and become a partner.

I've got a hand full of examples where clients I've personally helped scaling their supply-chain find out their biggest competitor is their own manufacturer. I'm of the opinion that its inevitable that the manufacturer to consumer model eventually will put almost every single DTC brand out of business. The next wearlense.com drop on the 25th of April is positioned as "the factory" itself where we show the COGs and markup. We'll share the profit with the factory to show them what's possible while delivering the same quality without the logo tax and heavy opex and marketing budget.

Running openclaw in Hong Kong on anthropic with VPN is a bit slow. What VPS / setup would you guys suggest?

Silicon Valley is quietly running on Chinese open source AI models. Here are the receipts: → Cursor confirmed last month that Composer 2 is built on Moonshot's Kimi K2.5 → Cognition's SWE-1.6 model is likely post-trained on Zhipu's GLM → Shopify saved $5M a year by switching to Alibaba’s Qwen model. Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky has also said: "We rely a lot on Qwen. It's very good, fast, and cheap." And now Zhipu dropped GLM-5.1, an open source model that performs almost as well as Opus on coding benchmarks. 📌 More on the Anthropic OpenClaw drama and what I'm learning about AI on the ground in China in my new post: creatoreconomy.so/p/the-all-…
