    Discrimination and Disparities - Thomas Sowell. I am continually impressed by this man. The Art of the Deal - Trump. Didn't expect it to be such an engrossing read. Real estate people live a different life! The Mom Test - Rob Fitzpatrick. Still reading this, so far it's blown my mind. The...

    Web Dev Positioning - the Anti-AI Play

    HOT! MARKETING 
    I've been thinking about this a lot lately. I think here on the forum we're all pretty pro AI generally, same at my work place, but everyone else I talk to is sick to death of it. I saw a Massage ad poster on the tube on the way home that simply said "Something that AI can't do". Being non-AI is...

    You really don't need to learn to code to build a modest application anymore, though of course it helps, but it may end up being better for you if you build a crude MVP with an AI tool, get customers, and then get someone more technical to manage the software. That saves you a very long time...

    This is really interesting to me as I build a very similar tool before for a client at my first place. Extract info from passports, visa documents etc, create reminders that were traffic light colour ordered. Provide an audit mechanism and monthly reporting mechanism, etc. That kind of thing has...

    How are you guys beating the social media addiction?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I've been off social media for the whole of March. I can't begin to express how quickly I feel the change! The major changes: I have absolutely no desire to get back on it. I don't feel like I'm missing anything, I get annoyed with myself when I'm on it. I know a lot less about what's going on...

    How do you control media consumption and distractions while building your business?

    INTRO 
    I've got to disagree slightly with @Jobless here. I believe it's a discipline problem. Your consumption of all this stuff is a lack of discipline. You want the quick dopamine hit, not the long hard work. You're choosing easy, not hard (as is the theme of this community lately). You can do...

    Just got my annual raise, 2.3% oh baby. But the numbers in the email are off, must be a mistake, because it looks like I got a 23% raise. Hopefully they've made an error but put it all in the system and never notice haha. It would be so discouraging if I wasn't determined to make my own path in...

    $7k/mth reddit account hacked and gone...

    SOCIAL MEDIA 
    There's no denying it's a really shit situation. Do you have emails connected with that Reddit account? Photo evidence? Not for the mods, though that may help, but to start reposting and growing again. Your second time will be easier than your first, I don't see how you'd need another 13 years...

    Entrepreneurship as a professional athlete

    INTRO 
    Hey Adam, There is no instruction manual for starting entrepreneurship. Most people here aren't professional athletes, we don't know you, so we can't tell you what's best for you. Instead ask yourself, what value you can bring to other peoples lives? What can you do that people will pay you...

    What is your Decisional Fallout Condition (DEFCON)?

    Interesting quiz, looking forward to getting the physical copy in Europe. I definitely take it too easy, though I do believe if I had a business I was actively working on I would work harder.

    Stock Market Discussion, Chat About the Latest Market Action

    HOT! CHAT 
    Man I really appreciate reading your book when I did. Before that, my whole view on wealth was based on another book, where it's just work hard, save half, invest in Vanguard, for 30, 40, 50 years. It's just crazy to devote your entire life's hopes in the stock market.

    Book and Whiteboard Videos goes into app development

    IDEA 
    Personally I don't think YouTube is a problem for C, as long as it's not the one thing that breaks your business long term. It has such a monopoly over the online video market that you really can't avoid it. As you grow you'd want to diversify and gain more control of course. I think you're...

    Are 20-40 Years Old More Lonely Than Ever?

    NOTABLE! HOT! PEOPLE 
    This is a topic that's quite important to me, I think it's one of the biggest crisis's we're facing but fortunately a lot more fixable than others. I bring this up a lot with my small group of friends, who are all now around 30s. I think there is absolutely no doubt that social media and phones...

    I wanted to jot some thoughts down, hopefully for the purpose of looking back on it in 5 years when it all worked out! Firstly that Shopify thing went nowhere. I created a store for him, he thought it was okay, but then told me a whole bunch of stuff he never said before that he'd like to see...

    Discovered Michael Girdley today on YouTube. He has a ton of simple videos where he just walks and talks about businesses, like the rise and fall of craft beer, etc. I'll be listening to a few of these whilst doing housework. Also discovered Acquired which are hours long detailed stories of...
