I have two questions for you (possibly related): Q 1: When was the last time you go to speak directly with someone who created a multi-billion-dollar industry? Q 2: What are you doing May 5th at 6pm ET (3pm PT)? Tim Bratton... - Pioneered the world’s first digital streaming service - Defined the modern subscription economy - Helped architect a multi-quadrillion-dollar payment rails system His career has been defined by one thing: Scaling complex systems from inception to global dominance. He has taken a company public, executed a reverse IPO, and built three separate nine-figure businesses. And now he is showing up LIVE to talk to us (you and me) No script. No filter. No sanitized “keynote speaker” nonsense. Just a live conversation with a guy who has repeatedly seen the future early, built the infrastructure behind it, and scaled it before the rest of the world caught up. Join us live May 5th at 6 PM ET. Here's the zoom link: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/83272395942?pwd=2tLNyUmwSTjHNKAUH2onMLMddKXrDo.1 See you there.

I finished reading Kasim's book (which is great) and we are trying to improve attention to detail. The first position is for different versions of an SEO/Content Manager position. Literally no one from Latin America is being caught by the (read this job post) fly trap in the description. We even moved it to the first paragraph on LinkedIn. What is frustrating is that we had Indian applicants some how apply and follow the instructions.

Anyone have the link to the paid 2 hour webinar training with @Kasim Aslam on AI workflows happening this week?

What’s up everyone, Brandon here. I’ve been showing up on the 5pm calls consistently, listening more than talking, and getting a lot of value from the conversations here. Figured it was time to introduce myself the right way. What I HAVE I’ve been in finance and business since 1996, so just over 30 years now. Most of that time has been spent building behind the scenes. I tend to stay out of the spotlight and focus on creating systems that actually produce. Over the years I’ve: - Built and managed high intent traffic in regulated spaces where trust matters - Created lead generation ecosystems that turn attention into real conversations and revenue - Worked closely with operators and sales teams to make sure what gets generated actually closes - Learned how to navigate compliance, scale, and real world execution without cutting corners A lot of what I do is not visible on the surface. I’ve always been more focused on building the machine than being the face of it. Outside of work, I’ve spent years living abroad in Southeast Asia, traveling, training martial arts, working out, hiking, and pushing myself in different ways. I even spent a period of time paragliding and jumping off cliffs, which probably says a lot about how I approach risk and growth. What I WANT At this stage, I’m looking for clarity and better leverage. I’ve spent a long time building for others and inside other people’s structures. It taught me a lot, but it also showed me where the limits are. Now I’m focused on: - Owning more of what I build - Creating structures that compound instead of reset - Building partnerships that are aligned long term, not just transactional I want to be around people who are actually in it, solving real problems, and building real businesses. What I NEED Two things I’m actively working through: 1. Positioning at the next level. Figuring out what stays, what consolidates, and what becomes the next version of everything I’ve built. 2. Smarter leverage decisions.

This Wednesday inside The Daily Sigh, I’ll be joined by my longtime business mentor, Gregory J. Smith. Greg has decades of experience helping companies grow, raise capital, navigate acquisitions, and execute successful exits. He’s also the author of No Locked Doors, built around a mindset every founder needs: turning problems into possibilities. We’ll be talking about M&A, exits, what creates real business value, and how to think like an owner in today’s market. If you’re building a company, planning a sale, or want to grow with more clarity, be there. Wednesday, April 22 6 PM EST Zoom link on the calendar
