I was just reading this brilliant writer and sharing my fav. part... What do you all think about this: Animals survive and reproduce on the physical level. They attempt to reproduce the information in their genes. Humans do as well, but we live in such a world that physical threats are rare. We mostly survive on the psychological level and attempt to reproduce the information in our consciousness. - We attach to political ideologies, feel threatened, and lash out when the “other side” attacks our beliefs. - We adopt beliefs and worldviews as our identity, like being a “gamer,” and when someone says that’s bad, it’s like you were slapped in the face (psychologically) and you want to fight back. - When you attempt to change your life, like being more productive, you threaten the relevant identity that doesn’t want you to do that (like being a good student or employee). If you learn to transcend and leverage your survival instincts, your productivity shoots through the roof. You need to change your identity by changing the stubborn beliefs and normative prescriptions (what you’re “supposed” to do from your parents, teachers, and authorities). You change your identity by changing your environment. To be more productive, force yourself into physical and digital locations that make you feel like you don’t yet belong. 🔥 Follow people with the goals you want to pursue, the beliefs that your future self could benefit from, and the knowledge that allows you to achieve clarity. 🔥 When you are a person who works toward their goals, discipline becomes seamless, and you feel threatened when you are not doing so, giving you an energy source to act toward something greater.

I recently tried out an automated outreach setup that I’d been hearing about and thought I’d share the experience here it’s designed to handle SMS blasts and email outreach, and there’s an AI agent built in that manages follow-ups automatically. The setup sends new leads straight into a CRM, and they included an Airtable CRM with the package, which made organizing things a lot easier. It’s a one-time setup, so there’s no ongoing subscription which I appreciated. Overall, it worked smoothly and saved quite a bit of manual effort. Has anyone else experimented with similar systems?
