My interview with @GaryVee is now live!
This interview has been years in the making, and I'm so excited to finally be able to share it with you 👉 thejacobkelly.com/interviews…
One of my favourite @RickRubin quotes is:
"The Muse responds to commitment."
You're more likely to find inspiration when working on existing idea than when trying to come up with a new one.
Inspiration finds you on the road, not at the start line.
“If it’s going well, end your writing session in the middle.”
It’s hard to start every session with a blank canvas, so leave yourself one partially filled in. Momentum matters.

The most selective startup program in the world is @hf0 ... this is written on the whiteboard in their gym:
"Obsession is the righteous path."

It is only through this obsession that we are going to achieve the unreasonable goals we have set, and it is only through achieving these unreasonable goals that I get the chance to create a better life for my wife and I.

🏀 Hoopbase Open 2026 is officially in the books!
Last week we joined forces with Maple Leaf Venture Club to bring Toronto's tech community onto the court.
10 companies showed up with their best squads: @Uber , @lyft , @chexymoney , @chatbase , @boardyai , @stanforcreators , @avec_alan , @venncanada , @Achievers , and @Google .
Congrats to Team Achievers for taking home the Hoopbase Open Championship 🏆
Let's run it back soon!
Today we launched Boardy Pro.
I got the chance to write the script for the launch video and assist in its production.
This is the first script that I've written where I got to see it come to life.
This was a really cool experience for me.
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.
And an honourable mention of course goes to @Maxjamesbns for stealing the show with his performance in the launch video.
I also wanted to give a shoutout to @arvinfarsyad and his team at Simply Living Studios for all the work they did on the launch video.
Our whole team has been working really hard on Boardy Pro and his launch.
I pulled one late night when we filmed the video, but our eng team pulled countless late nights when building this.
If you have a few minutes, give @boardyai Pro a shot. Just DM him on X to get started.
