Matt came by and ran a terrific workshop on email tactics for the students. So awesome having deeply tactical experts in front of our students to help them level up. There will never be a college-level textbook that can provide the same level of value. Thanks for the session @mattragland!
Great time teaching the kids at @alpha_founders today!

Today @mnt_rushmore became the first @alpha_founders student to cross the $10k revenue mark. We had him hit the sales gong 10 times in celebration. Earlier in the day, he passed his negotiation final test, navigating a tough role play scenario using Chris Voss’ techniques. I didn’t give him an easy time, and he held his own. Can’t wait to see what his revenue dashboard looks like in a year from now.

One of the best feelings one can experience in NYC: Not breaking stride when descending the stairs directly into the open doors of the subway which arrived at the station at the same time as you. Bonus if the train car you enter is nearly empty.

Spending time with my 3-month-old nephew this past weekend reminded me: It was the news 1 yr ago of my sister’s pregnancy which sent me down the rabbit hole learning about @Alphaschool, concerned about the future of education. He’s the reason I became Alpha-pilled, and now spend my days at @alpha_founders

The biggest negotiation hack Chris Voss (@fbinegotiator) shared with our students during his visit to @alpha_founders this afternoon: “Seems like you have a reason for (saying/asking) that.” Amazing uno reverse card for when you’re facing a tough question mid convo. So cool to watch a master at work.

Peak life moment: getting to watch our students negotiate with @fbinegotiator himself. Never Split the Difference is the book that has single-handedly made me the most $. I’ve always considered myself lucky to have read it as early in my life/career as I fortunately did. An unreal feeling to watch our students get to lock in their negotiation skills by drilling with the mastermind behind the tactics. Thanks for coming in, Chris!

The fact that Henry is a freshman and we get to spend 4 years watching him succeed is mind boggling.
14 years old and just did $2,500 in sales this week. A couple of weeks ago, I had $0. Still can't really believe it, but we're just getting started.

Grok @bot really needs a multiplayer mode where I can just have my bot message someone else’s bot directly instead of sending a message to the human for them to share with their bot. Unless there is a better way today I’m not aware of?

The only instruction manual you need to make your life 10x better this weekend.
If you're new to using Grok Bot, start by having it interview you using this exact prompt: "Interview me so you can set up my first two bots. Ask one question at a time and keep it to five questions or fewer: what I do, which tools I use every day, what eats up my week, what I'd never want you to touch, and when I want to hear from you." In 2 minutes, your bot will propose two custom bots, each with: • A specific job • The tools it needs • A scheduled routine • A strict "never do" line And before it builds anything, it walks you through exactly what each one will do on its first run. That's only step one. The full guide we wrote takes you from that first setup to a team of bots using connectors, routines, skills, APIs, and bot-to-bot messaging. Read the full guide here.

Such a captivating afternoon workshop at @alpha_founders today. Students got to practice telling their personal stories to professional storyteller @RobbieCrab and have him rework their narratives on the spot. Felt like watching a live magic show.

Something Rushil is excellent at is time management. I’m consistently impressed by his ability to say yes to more and then execute.
Hey, I’m Rushil- 17 from Founders School, but I don’t want to wait until graduation to be useful. I’m taking on a few paid projects: - Website designing - Video editing - software dev for enterprises If one of those would help you, DM me what you’re working on. I’ll tell you honestly if I can help.

Insatiable drive is a core personality trait of all of the @alpha_founders students. They come from all different walks of life, but they all share that in common.
I wake up thinking about business. I think about it all day, I go to bed thinking about it, and lately I am even dreaming about it. I do not think I would want it any other way. Is that obsession, passion, or something else?

Getting to watch James cook up insanely cool stuff on a daily basis is such a privilege.
I’m 16, living in NYC alone and I’m trying to make $1,000,000 in 2 years I would love to connect with people in tech, software, and AI to advance my journey

We're getting custom poker chips made. Students earn them for upholding community standards. Most chips at the end of the year wins something elite. I expect there to be ICM implications and a side market as the year end gets near.
