If you noticed the intro to this email is "Written 100% by human Neville Medhora" then this flyer seems relevant:

This is a great example of standing out by zigging when everyone is zagging!

Wisdom:

like this quote

"It's hard to do a really good job on anything you don't think about in the shower." -Paul Graham

This reminds me a lot of this famous quote that's been recirculated in many ways:

Basically these quotes say that if you're OBSESSED with something, it makes it a lot easier to accomplish big things.

So true.

Interesting:

Scrolling social media I see a lot of products being promoted with AI pics/videos.

Now this is a good and bad thing...

• Good because product makers can sell their stuff easier :-)

• Bad because it can easily misrepresent the quality of the product :-(

For example I saw this halloween costume being sold all over the place, and all it's images and videos were 100% AI:

They make funny videos like this that go viral, and then they boost the posts so people around Halloween see them:

Here's another one. Look how many AI situations they put the product in:

As someone who sells products, I get excited at the possibility of being able to promote a product without doing laborious photo shoots and video shoots....but as a consumer I have to have my guard up a little more.

There's lots of examples I've seen where people buy based on a picture, but what they actually get is a hilariously bad product compared to how it was promoted 😂

Picture:

My big guy is almost 11 months old now, and he's like a little kid more than a little baby now!

Sitting with mom and dad and restaurants:

In his little jersey:

Going on a walk with dad:

Stealing dads hat :)

Ready for his own chair in the office:

Enjoying the cool morning breeze:

He loves when we wake him up in the morning and gets so excited!

Pushing him on the swing:

Essay:

This is pretty wild:

These three companies going public are valued MORE than all other tech IPO's in the last 45 years 😮

Now these numbers are wild, but also inflation of 45 years needs to be taken into account.

BUT STILL! Isn't that wild??

What's wilder is this number will likely be even crazier in a decade.

In a decade or so with the advancement of AI leverage and physical AI leverage (robotics) it's not crazy to think just a handful of companies like the Fortune 10 in a decade could be worth 50% of the S&P 500.

Splurge:

I like how I now can see more info about who joins my emails list on Kit.

For example I see a feed like this of who joins now:

As someone whose business depends on my email list, this is super valuable!

Hope you have a great weekend!!!
Sincerely,
