It’s so refreshing to be on bsky compared to anything else. No one on my feed is pushing anything, just thoughts and takes, experiences, lessons. Not sure how long this will last, but I like.

Highly recommend this / first time I came across this

Having my coffee turkish style is such a game changer for me. Love the texture of the actual coffee. Highly recommend it, if you want to give it a try. A quick yt short / and you can use your espresso coffee to make it. www.youtube.com/shorts/jrbH7...

wait bsky has bookmarks! have i been gone for that long?

Man @justinjackson.ca @jonbuda.com it was great hearing you guys talk shop. Inspiring me to record an episode on my pod. Prob the reason I started podcasting was because of yous.

There are literally zero comments on +95% on the posts of the people I follow. Are people only cross posting here or just posting regardless of zero interactions to their posts?

Btw I think the reason I haven’t been active as much on here is because somehow others don’t reply. They lurk and like but that’s that. There’s not much convo. Also I get a ton of followers, but my follower count is stuck at 2K. On twitter there’s immediacy. Why this disconnect/difference?

Oof I have not been active on here in a while. How’s everyone doing?

Sometimes I think the Universe created us to see itself, through us. To give itself meaning. We’re merely vehicles to enjoy this beauty and process it for the Universe. Make it better if we can. That is basically our purpose. Anything else that doesn’t serve that purpose is human made hell.

I find it super odd running into a "podcast" with its main channel being YT. Zero audio link (spotify, overcast, etc...) In my book a podcast is an audio–only (think radio) medium — once you add video on top of it, it's a something else. Curious what your take is @justinjackson.ca Am I nuts?

Duped time and again from replying to ghost cross–posting accounts 🤦‍♂️ Not sure how to ask them kindly, since they’re not here, to not keep doing this because it ruins bsky for the rest of us. 🙏

What if “everything is predetermined” but not in a religious way, only in a way that our processing is delayed and something we have already done we didn’t get to experience it yet. And deja vu is when we experience it slightly earlier. Exploring neuroscience a bit and this came to mind.

Got to use my iPhone 16 as a webcam today, and just wow! The out–of–focus background, the colors, all of it. Phenomenal.

** if anyone sees my liking my own posts it’s because I use the like button as a bookmark. And yes I bookmark my posts because i want to keep up with something I have said ** @bsky.app pls bookmarks

A BlogMaker.app client posted this on their Linkedin and I'm way over the moon 🚀🌕🥳 There are times when I've asked a happy client to write a testimonial for BlogMaker, this was not one of those times. What a wonderful surprise 🏆

Super excited about leaning into the mission that has been there waiting for me this entire time. It's been a nerve racking few months, with price changes and positioning. Back to the roots: The reason behind it all and back at the initial price of $39/year, for 5 blogs! PS: Yes, that's my hand!

The irony on this post 🥹 It asks for blogs without paywall, yet you can't comment on it 🤷‍♂️ We've over engineered products / looking at you @bsky.app

There's something about the ocean that wakes me up, helps me believe, and makes me realize how small I am so I don't get tangled up in my ego. Sadly I don't live close to an ocean any longer. I hope to soon get back to it. But, for the moment, this playlist is getting me through it all.

Hey friends, if you work at a 20+ person company, can you please DM me. I have a question or two about my new B2B SaaS / a thing or two I want to clarify. Or reply below and I'll DM you.

Finally managed to put this into words. Something I've known to be true for me for ages and I hope it makes sense to you. —There is a sort of freedom in which you do things the way you want to do them because that's how you believe they should be, which ultimately ties into who you really are.

Done and done! BlogMaker has plenty of value to back up this pricing. It's a premium product without any gimmicks and I want to be more upfront about it all ✊

Conundrum: Low pricing $39/year brings a ton more activity, sales, but a ton of dirty baggage of random support tickets, refund requests. Normal pricing +$19/month, brings serious clients, but less pace of growth, and a calmer business. What do I do? I already know the answer yeah. 🤔

When I grew up, sports were fun, and a good hang with friends, traveling to the next town over etc. My son (13) plays tennis and we’ve been going to a few tournaments. The level of parent involvement with coaches in tow and the demands of the sport at this young age are just insane.

Here’s something interesting. BlogMaker gives the user the power to tweak every element’s color, padding, and especially font — which makes it possible to match the design of your existing website, but you have to diy (which I like a lot) but I am not ppl and ppl like it done for them.

One of the ways to stay relevant throughout is having a personal blog. Being active on social media is super important, but social media is ephemeral. Your blog is forever. People will learn more about you from a single thoughtful piece you wrote on your blog than they will from your tweets.

My office for the day: the shopping mall 🛍️ I’ve been not going to my coworking recently. Just mixing it up between home office and other random spots 😅

Did this yesterday for blogmaker.app ✊ Quick fix on code + deploy to production + confirm the fix to the customer — while lined up on the runway and holding seconds before take off 🛫 🥳 Yolo!

Was talking to a founder friend earlier, how BlogMaker's position might be low–cost + ready to go. And if that's that, then so be it. I'm all in for it ✊ Want to see how this experiment goes and if so, potentially stick with it. I have a few more thoughts, but I'll try to rec a pod episode.

Did this new H1 for BlogMaker.app in tandem with experimenting with a $39/year price point for 5 blogs — so clients can run their biz blog(s) and personal blog within the same account and for one single yearly price! Is BlogMaker worth more, you betcha! But, cost–wise, I can do this, so why not.

One thing that would super suck is say in year 3000, there are no biological humans. We stopped giving birth. We transferred our conciseness and memory into the AI and we finally live forever. What a pity that would be.

A gentle–tough reminder ✨ Do not stay in the waiting room! Change something, a tiny thing, a big thing. Luck doesn't favor those who wait for something to happen out of the blue. Get on a path, take a side road, go straight through it, anything! Do not stay in the waiting room ✊

Done with higgsfield .ai / gave it my profile photo and this is what it id 🤯

Me after 1 cold email sent 🥹 Do you guys know if I can buy a reply? 😅

Rebranding is On for my New B2B SaaS ✊ I'd rather do it now! The original domain was a mouthful long–tail SEO–play that sounded super bloated, generic, and lazy. I've been chatting with gpt4o for a few days now and it kept insisting on this one single name 🤷‍♂️😅 And only $10.44 via Cloudflare 🥳

Kinda on the fence about this one regarding my new B2B SaaS. Leaning more toward the new brand/domain 🤔 What would you do?

Cold emailing mid April is not that great. A ton of auto replies from people being out of office with Easter weekend being a week or so away.

Had my first live demo today for my new B2B SaaS and I want more. So much to learn. So great to talk to people. Huge businesses. Makes me realize what a huge problem/pain I am trying to solve. I want to move faster. Btw. Looks like they might convert.

AI is cheapening the value of creativity I'll explain: —We're in awe when we see an amazing painting, a video game, a photo — we want to know more about the person and how/why they created it. —When created by AI we simply accept it. No awe, just "meh I could do the same w a few prompts"

Life of a solo founder/parent: - coding - marketing: seo - website design, brand - sales: cold outreach, demos - strategy/tactics - help kids with tests - kids activities Skipping the in–betweens for clarity Love every bit of it, but I am crying 😭

Starting with cold emails today via Apollo.io / I actually love wearing my new salesman hat, hope I get some beginners luck I can build upon 🤞

There is something magical about reading a physical book, being consumed in it, making notes, underlining… Listening to a book is superficial: — Getting through the message without a chance to form our own thoughts. Reading a book is conversing with it ⚡️ In my book, books are meant to be read ✊

It’s really disappointing replying to accounts who post a conversational tweet but it’s a scheduled one by a 3rd party app. Please, for the love of the bees, don’t do it. Not everything is about growth and staying active/relevant. It’s about human connection.

Asked gpt to make me a person, and then asked it to make it: — sad — joyus — bright colored shirt, longer hair, no facial hair It's absolutely wild. The possibilities are truly endless. On the basic level, ad photographers/actors are doomed. On the higher level, scarcity will be solved.

First time I came across this quote was two days ago from Michiel, and it's stuck with me. I have had (for way too long) many pesky pebbles in my boots I'm trying to get rid of so the mountain climbing is more efficient and actually realistic. Let's go! Remove the pebbles in your boots!

If you ignore the news, are you the problem? How can two media outlets report the same thing differently? Is this an information war? What is the common truth? What is true? Are things bad? —Why and how? Are things good? —Why and how?

The student is eventually better than the teacher. Key for the teacher, if s/he wants to stay relevant, is to always remain a student, even when teaching ✊

It's honestly wild what can be created with a few prompts. Lyrics I created in gpt4 // about "lost shoes" The prompt for the actual music was "90s hiphop with a classical music hook" — didn't quite get the classical in the hook, but still. wild! ilovesong.ai/work/4944443...

Attended my first B2B networking in ages and it was super refreshing. Especially for my new B2B SaaS. Learned a ton and maybe I’ve unlocked a new segment that I didn’t think of. Plan to attend more ✊

Dang Q1 is done. Getting closer to where I need to be ✊

Btw this is April Fool’s y’all 🫠 Not niching–down on a niched–niche 🙅‍♂️
