Everyone thinks they need more discipline. You actually need better alignment.

Real passion is when you lose track of time coding. When you forget to eat building features. When problems excite you more than solutions.

AI democratized the ability to create software. It didn't democratize the wisdom to create good software.

I used to work out 5x a week but ate complete junk food. Consistency without strategy is just consistent failure.

Your AI startup’s entire business model: Betting customers don’t know they can do this themselves. That’s not a moat. That’s a countdown timer.

Everyone quits when the process gets boring. That's exactly when skill starts compounding.

Passion doesn't need motivation. If you need motivation, you need a different problem.

At 27, I have 4 income streams - and you should too. In an AI-first world, relying on one income source is dangerous. Here's my breakdown: 1️⃣ ANC (Venture Studio) - Consulting revenue 2️⃣ SimpleDirect - SaaS/tech revenue 3️⃣ Personal investing - Started April 2025 4️⃣

Code has no borders. Neither should your income.

Hiring developers: $150K + equity + management. Hiring Claude: $20/month + no drama.

You wouldn't build a startup with one server in one data center. Don't build your life with one passport in one country.

The companies that win won't be the ones that code fastest. They'll be the ones that know when to slow down.

Consistency is the great equalizer. Talent is overrated.

In 5 years, 'Can you actually code?' will be the most valuable interview question. Everyone will claim yes. Almost nobody will mean it.

America has the world's best universities and can't agree on anything. Qatar has 300,000 people and runs a sovereign wealth machine.

I spent 6 months vibe coding with AI. Built 3 projects. One succeeded, two nearly destroyed my products. Here’s what nobody tells you about AI-assisted development 👇 open.spotify.com/episode/248jCf…

Spent the morning reviewing AI-generated code instead of writing new features. Sometimes the best productivity hack is understanding what you built.

Everyone wants results. Nobody wants repetition. That's the gap.

My friends put 70% in crypto and AI stocks they can't explain. I put mine in boring index funds and beat them. Complexity isn't alpha.

Everyone's racing to ship faster with AI. Nobody's asking if they're shipping in the right direction.
