Replying to @jasonlk
When I pitched @sendible to the one and only VC I ever approached, they laughed in my face and told me that no one would ever pay for a social media scheduler. So I decided to prove them wrong. And do it bootstrapped. That was 12 years ago. This year we were acquired.

5. Traffic Secrets by Russell Brunson Full of practical strategies for driving targeted and consistent traffic to websites, this book is a must read if you have an online business.

6. Die with Zero by Bill Perkins This eye-opening book conveys the idea that you should spend your wealth in your prime rather than wait until you're too old to enjoy it. What's your must-read book of 2023?

2. The Simple Path to Wealth by JL Collins This opened my eyes to low-cost index funds and turned me into a Vanguard fanboy. Well worth the read if you want to learn about investing.

These are the 6 most impactful books I read this year, in ranked order. 2023 was my year of fitness and I read a lot of books on health, wealth, and longevity. But there are a few 5-star business books in there too: 🧵

1. Outlive by Dr Peter Attia This is a heavy read but well worth it. It's a practical, science-backed guide to living a long, healthy life. My biggest takeaway: Zone 2 training.

I’m thinking of creating a mobile game in Godot that uses GPT-4 to power the AI. Has anyone tried this?

I speak to 481 users face-to-face every day. It’s helped grow revenue 404% this year. But lately it’s been getting a little crazy. 🤪 So, I added some new AI features to StoryPrompt to help me out.

Having a lot of fun building AI into StoryPrompt. Last week we released: - Auto removal of filler words (“um” etc) from videos Soon, you’ll be able to: - Ask AI about the content of a video without watching it - Generate text or video responses to videos you receive

For a lot of #marketers, the biggest questions are what do I write and how do I know if it's working? We've got a super easy and SUPER effective fix for that: bit.ly/3XTACgW @GavinHammar @heystoryprompt

When I first saw the big X at the top left of Twitter, my first thought was that it meant "close" the window.

I just love how scrappy and messy this rebrand is. Half X, half Twitter. Mostly chaos.
