July Goals Report and Life Review

feeling of not doing enough and being late on goals

won’t bore you with my July goals, but as usual, I feel grateful for what I’ve accomplished, yet also feel I’m not moving fast enough.

So I’ve been freeing up time lately to geek out on AI emails, and I haven’t done much of that lately. The “why” is quite simple. AI will go as far as your brain will go. Meaning if you’re not super smart, the AI you’re commanding won’t be either. That’s the current stage of things.

Hence, if I wanna a code an AI to reach out smartly, I’ll have to dig out the latest trends in the market. It’s still about what best offer can you give to what best ICP, and that, no AI can tell. So it’s not really about being good with AI nowadays but still having the highest IQ which has been my thesis since day one.

Which brings me back to my podcast thesis. I thought I scaled that thesis to the roof after interviewing 2k CEOs, but I still feel there’s much to juice out of it.

I should be a billionaire by now, but I’m not. Probably because my past self decided to waste time on building agencies run by humans, which happened not to scale.

Fortunately for me, I stopped being stubborn approximately 2 years ago and started scaling the podcast thesis. Which should generate 5-20M in the next few years. And if I keep on adding fuel to this fire, could bring me 100M-1B in the next decades. Lead to multiple billion dollars opportunity.

Hence, my feeling of not doing enough can be solved by going back to scaling pods, gathering market data and deploying more campaigns. Say 20-50 pods/week. I’m currently at 10-20/week and I am bored. My previous 2k pods led to around 30ish clients, 10 of which became close friends and business partners.

Bottom line I think I’m frustrated with my past self that was stuck in a fairy tale, which brings me to the questions:

• What fairy tale could I be stuck in now?

• What thesis is hyperscaling right now that I’m not aware of?

Looking back at my first 5 years as an entrepreneur I’ve taken a hit from my first failed supplement startup. I lost a valued co-founder to the claws of the startup world and this sorta deflated me to take more risks. Then I discovered agencies were gold mines, but this deflated me to go again for moonshots. And one needs at least 10 tries at moonshots until they hit success.

Seems nowadays I’m still down with moonshots yet half-assing most. My thesis is still to partner up with other ambitious co-founders rather than start these from scratch, which reduces my equity but is an energy-efficient strategy that will avoid total losses and scale.

I can eventually see myself acquiring the majority of some very successful moonshots I’m involved in and going tunnel vision on some. I’m not an ops scaler nor do I want to be but hopefully some skills I’m nurturing would make me a nice “face of the company” and an AI overlord. More on this later.

Long blab but that’s what's on my mind today. Would love to get your thoughts on the above.
