The best part is that it costs nothing to be kind, yet it changes the entire energy of every room you walk into. Give without keeping score

Go into every relationship trying to make the other person's life better first. If you're unselfish about it and you eventually get good at something, the value and the network arrive together.

The world isn’t run by geniuses. It’s run by C- students, fired employees and people no smarter than you. You’re more qualified than you think.

LOWERING COSTS AND EXPANDING ACCESS TO HOMEOWNERSHIP: Today, President Donald J. Trump signed an Executive Order to lower the costs of single-family homeownership and mortgages and promote innovation throughout the housing market. •The Order directs the Director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) to create a pilot program to cancel borrowers’ mortgage insurance premiums proactively once they have satisfied their equity requirements based on the current market value, which will eliminate a large monthly expense for qualifying Americans across the country.   •The Order establishes the Task Force on Manufactured Housing Innovation to increase the quality of and lower the cost of building a home by facilitating the use of modern manufacturing methods in the production of factory-built housing eligible for federal housing programs. •The Order directs the FHFA Director to reduce homeowners’ refinancing costs by expanding the FHFA’s title insurance waiver pilot into a permanent program to allow more borrowers to utilize cost-friendly alternatives to title insurance and to reduce the closing costs of refinancing and monthly expenses associated with homeownership.  •The Order directs the Secretary of Agriculture and Secretary of Veterans Affairs to reduce interest rates on single-family home loans made by their respective Departments. RESTORING THE AMERICAN DREAM OF HOMEOWNERSHIP: President Trump is removing unnecessary red tape and making homeownership more affordable for all Americans. •Homeownership is a vital pillar of our great Nation, and President Trump and his Administration are working tirelessly to cut burdensome costs and red tape to make the American dream of homeownership more affordable for all Americans.  •Unnecessary regulations and outdated mortgage processes have made homeownership unaffordable and driven up closing costs.

me when people ask about the current state of AI:

I will likely never subscribe to anything again... And I'm saying this as the co-founder of a Shopify subscription app that over 100,000 stores have installed. After you watch this video you'll understand why. I just bought coffee through my AI agent, over text, in two minutes. Then I told it how I wanted my refills handled. If you're a subscription brand, or you build for them, watch the video first, then my observations: 1. Subscription convenience no longer needs a subscription. I typed "order this every 30 days, but check first if I need more." The reply: "Done. And nothing ships unless you say yes." 2. Managing a subscription is about to feel archaic. Going away for a month today means visiting 17 subscriber portals to pause 17 subscriptions. With an agent it's one text: "I'm away for a month, check in 5 days before I'm home so it's all on my doorstep." 3. One text for everything. "One text with everything due, you reply yes or no, or 'yes except the coffee.'" Your email, SMS, portal and app all compress to one line in someone else's list. 4. The next coffee-of-the-month club will be one I design. "Recommend a different brand every month, then after I try it, ask me to rate it." The agent learns my taste. The brand doesn't. 5. Every public discount code is now the price. My agent finds and verifies every code before every refill. The only discount that survives is one you never publish. 6. Be the cheapest, or be the favorite. If I don't care about the brand, my prompt is: "find me the cheapest decent bag." If I do it's: "always buy this exact coffee." Everything in the middle gets squeezed out. 7. A household budget becomes a buying rule. "Keep my recurring purchases under $200 this month, show me what can wait." Now every brand competes for the same $200. 8. Brands can't see any of this. To Shopify it's a one-time order, so the win-back email fires right on top of my agent's text. Customers can cancel the subscription, keep buying through their agent, and you just see churn. 9. Subscribe & Save won't keep anyone. If the convenience is free and the discount is beatable, subscriptions need more: exclusive products, perks, free shipping, better loyalty. I think it's the biggest thing subscription brands should work on right now, and it's why we went all in on Bold Memberships. I'm not saying subscriptions are dead. Keep optimizing your Subscribe & Save. But how people buy on a regular basis is changing. What to do with all this: - Count your repeat orders that aren't subscription orders - List what subscribers get that non-subscribers can't - Buy from your own store through an agent so you see the experience, and messaging. - Google "[your brand] discount code." If anything beats Subscribe & Save, an agent will find it. - Put "lasts about X weeks" on your product pages so agents (and customers) don't have to guess. If you want to talk through what this means for your brand, comment or just DM me 👋
