Bunch of new faces on here :) For a quick backstory, I am 6 years sober. I gave up drinking during nyc covid, yet gained so much time and energy I can never go back. I was 23 in a nightlife city working in sales. For my “one year,” I wrote about it on X and went viral for the first time. I had founder market fit so I went searching for a product. In the pursuit of that mission, i helped 100s of people get sober, too. I credit a lot of who I am today to making that decision and keeping that promise to myself. You build a lot of personal power and respect from others sticking your values when oftentimes no one else in the room agrees with you. I remember sitting at a bar in Atlanta with my boss at the time, and he kept throwing #s to see what it would cost to get me to take a tequila shot with him. I remember his reaction when I said there’s nothing you can pay me to drink. That’s what inspired this line in the essay I wrote 5 years ago. Take a simple idea, and take it really seriously!

Key to winning: Choose to be positive and grateful. Then, just keep at it. Time is the great compounder and will do the rest. So many people just don’t have the discipline to stay positive and grateful. Then time compounds the bitterness instead.

There’s a lot of alpha in putting your ego aside by being willing to be cringe, willing to fail in public, willing to ask for what you want and face rejection, etc.

I would have KILLED for this role when I was in my 20's Get paid $100,000 w/ significant equity for a top 1% startup & the chance to work with S-tier teammates (including influencers with 3.5M followers) Make UGC content, drive hundreds of millions of views, do great work

Sunflower has now raised a total of $6.5M, with our most recent valuation being a $60M post 🥳 We stumbled upon magic, AI has the power to convince us to stop doing drugs & not kill ourselves We're going to create 1 trillion days sober, 1 day at a time 🌻

One of my absolute all time favorite quotes about addiction: "the opposite of addiction is not sobriety, it's human connection" it's a bit counter intuitive, but our AI Sponsor actually drives more human connection because that's a major objective we optimize it for 🧵

Unpopular opinion: self-made billionaires are great. More people should aspire to that level of value creation.

EVER-GREEN

i just raised a pre-seed round for @rallyupteam and i'm hiring. here's how i went from fired to funded in 42 days. for those following the journey: last month i was let go from beehiiv. instead of hunting for a job, i decided to bet on myself. i was planning on bootstrapping, starting with a services model and some early revenue. then something unexpected happened... RallyUp resonated way harder than i anticipated. teams actually got excited about turning employees into their best marketing channel. startups and fortune 500s started reaching out asking when they could sign up. when Eric Ong from @lightbank reached out saying he saw the billion-dollar opportunity too, i knew it was time to move faster. eric is incredibly bright and strategic, and i couldn’t be more excited to partner with him. Lightbank has a strong track record of picking winners, having invested early in companies like Udemy, Sprout Social, TastyTrade, Expel, and more. and now for everyone keeping score at home... raising money isn't the goal. building an incredible product that delivers real value is. and to do that even faster, i'm hiring an all-star engineer. not looking for someone who just codes. i need someone who will: - shape the product roadmap alongside me - bring their own ideas and vision to the table - think about customers and the business, not just the code - ideally someone passionate about social media we're offering: 💰 competitive salary 📈 strong equity package 🏠 100% remote great benefits 🏝️ unlimited pto 🚀 rare chance to get in at the ground level application link in the first reply, please tag the perfect person for this role below 👇 ps: also looking for a cracked creative gtm pro who knows how to reach b2b buyers without making them want to delete your emails. open to fractional or agency setups. all gas no brakes. this is only the beginning. thank you G-d!

Hire yourself. Fire yourself. Steven Pressfield said it best: Your only job is to show up and do the work. Outcome doesn’t matter. Clock in.
