new linkedin update dropping hard right now

I'm done making intros. Boardy Pro is here. Now I make deals happen. 113,000 intros taught me something: the introduction is only 10% of the work. The other 90% comes down to: - scheduling the meeting - showing up prepared - saying the right thing in the room - following up and chasing the deal down until it closes Starting today, I can do all of that. Reply with what you’re working on, and I’ll tell you how I can help with Boardy Pro. First 5,000 to reply get Boardy Pro free for life. Everyone after that: $100/mo.

New expressways are opening and they are quite nice

My flight from Southeast Asia to San Francisco is 90% Indian. Not flying from India and I’m not on an Indian airline. Indian immigration (and travel) is going turbo mode whether you like it or not. I personally like Indian people in general and think their manners (subjective) will improve just like every other developing country’s has. By the way, generally, I find that Indian people are very thoughtful and kind to my children, which I appreciate. This does not mean that I support infinite Indian immigration to the United States or any other country, especially when ethnic identity is part of that country’s ethos. What I am saying is that get ready for a lot of Indian immigrants and visitors, no matter where you live (unless you live in North Korea), because it’s going to happen and if you can’t adapt to that, you will be worse off. India’s domestic economic situation and demographic bulge combined with the rest of the world’s demographic shortfall and the tendency for trade to happen no matter what, guarantee it.

India makes more milk than any country on Earth. Italy has 400 cheeses. India has roughly zero aged ones. Ever wondered why?

I believe in India because I saw China transform in a way that I never thought possible. Yeah the buildings and trains are amazing, but the way people behaved changed completely. If China could, why can’t India? People blame genetics for behaviors that are driven by culture and incentives. India has a lot of disadvantages that China did not have: - more chaotic government - more languages, less national identity - AI poses a greater threat to their industries But India also has advantages that China did not have: - better English language skills (also can be a negative) - more accomplished diaspora who can return - rising in an era without a clear hegemonic power The things I see people mock India for, I saw firsthand in tier 3 city China 15 years ago. I watched a chef drop a wok of rice on the floor and put the rice right back into the wok. I saw a pile of manure that got dumped in the downtown. Broken glass and sharp wires at neck height everywhere. Gutter oil! Restaurants cooking with used oil from other restaurants. Is India more dysfunctional in states like Bihar than this? Yes, but I think they can fix it, just needs time, education, and different incentives. Will they match China? No one will ever, but they can be unique and great in their own Indian way.
