    Tin Foil Hat Time: Are Aliens Here?

    HOT! CHAT 
    That version of history is in line with the Summerian stories that we were made by the Annunaki because they wanted a slave race. Whether it's a true or not isn't for this forum. @Antifragile you'd like Dr Heather Lynn if you liked that Twitter post.

    Tin Foil Hat Time: Are Aliens Here?

    HOT! CHAT 
    As a film, it sucked. As a conspiracy theorist, it's great. Literally starts off with Project Monarch (CIA torture/brainwashing) symbolism. Cinematography was good despite the lack of everything else you'd need in a good film.

    Had an emergency happen at work while I was talking with my new marketing hire about next steps. I looked at my new engineering hire and told him to handle it. Walked up to the situation 30m later and he had resolved the issue. These guys are so much better than I am at their role and I'm glad I...

    Shock value and boobs is how game of thrones became so popular. @MJ DeMarco why wasn't this classic marketing tactic in any of your books?

    2026 vs 2025 Jan-April 2026 vs 2025: Revenue: 208k vs 86k Profit: -21k vs -54k. Personal Salary: $6.5k vs $3k. Truly a brutal start to the year, until I compare it to last year. Lot's of progress, and while "everything" went wrong at the start of this year, if I remember the start of last even...

    How I Built an AI Employee by Accident (Antifragile's Agentic AI Experience)

    SCALING EXECUTION - AI - 
    The most interesting part of your post to me was the underlying meta goal of turning your relationship with your business into a more proactive instead of reactive relationship. Made me reflect on the various parts and scenarios in my business where I am reactive instead of proactive. Thanks...

    That's a good idea. I looked through a ton of local agency and reached out to the one I liked best. I have a meeting with them on Monday. Thanks @MitchC ! If they're any good, they can help us scale our facebook ads right away. The move hiring a second marketer to create social media content to...

    This has been the most brutal week in probably 2 years. Customers not paying. One paid a $14.27 invoice ignoring the older $12,000 invoice. Literal thousands in broken tools. Rent went up and they charged an extra $2,000 in reconciliation fees for taxes. FB ads doubling in cost per customer...

    Today was the first day of my second female employee. Had one of the guys pull me to the side to warn me about making sure not to hire a third female employee and put them in the same room. 5 min later they were fighting about the AC. I feel like I'm in middle school.

    I talked to a PE firm in regards to selling and our business valuation a few weeks ago. Theoretically, maybe around $800k to $1m. Realistically? Nothing. Right now it can't run without me which is a dealbreaker and most PE firms aren't interested in anything that doesn't bring in at least $1m in...

    That's the plan with the new hire. We have basic social media with mediocre static image posts of things customers made with our tools. The girl I hired will do nothing but create short and long-form content with our tools. "How to create 5 knife sheath designs that sell", etc... Here's a knife...

    Good news! I've been trying to fill out 2 roles for the past 3 months. The first is a full time content creator. I hired somebody in February, but then he quit a day before he was supposed to start. Well, I have somebody new starting on Monday! I'm excited about this because the lion's share of...
