WHAT'S COOL About YOU? ...SERIOUSLY... I Want To KNOW....
...so I found this exercise "What's Cool About YOU" that's going to make you WAY more interesting to talk to. Seriously. I got this from Sean Stephenson (the three-foot-tall giant, may he rest in peace)... ....and it's called "What's Cool About You?" Here's the deal... ...when we meet people in Skool communities, we do the boring stuff: "I'm a course creator" or "I run a marketing agency" or whatever. YAWN. 🥱 But what if you could share the WEIRD, COOL, RANDOM stuff about yourself that actually makes people go "Wait, WHAT? Tell me more about that!" That's what this exercise does. It helps you remember (and share) the stuff you've done or experienced that you normally wouldn't mention... but which opens the door to WAY deeper, more fun, and more intellectual conversations. ...because let's be honest... nobody remembers the person who said "I do Facebook ads." But they DEFINITELY remember the person who said "I once trained myself to become #3 in the world at footbag" or "I have a street dog in India named Scooby who's in charge of 12th Road." 😂 HERE'S THE EXERCISE: Write down everything that's COOL, WEIRD, INTERESTING, or UNIQUE about YOU. Not your business accomplishments (boring). YOUR life accomplishments. YOUR quirks. YOUR stories. Some examples to get you started: - "I was a vegetarian for 25 years" (then went back to eating meat like a savage) - "At twelve years old, I won a silver medal in sailing in the Norwegian championship" - "I became one of the biggest party promoters in San Francisco" - "I pet or talk to ALL dogs I meet on the street... because I know they need love" - "I was in the Army and became the second-best dog handler... with a BRAND NEW dog that had never been trained" (the winner had a dog that had been there for 6 years... just saying 😏) Or maybe you've got stuff like: - "I can solve a Rubik's cube in under 2 minutes" (okay, that's not impressive, but if it's under 30 seconds, NOW we're talking) - "I once ate 47 tacos in one sitting" (don't judge me) - "I taught myself to play ukulele during lockdown and now I annoy everyone at parties" - "I lived in a van for 6 months and loved every second of it" - "I can name every country in the world in under 5 minutes" (nerd alert)

I once swam a mile?

@Alf Marcussen In a lake! Though it was in a circle haha, they used to swim all the way around the lake but I think that was too hard to manage. It was when I was in boy scouts as a youth. I also used to hang-glide but only got the basic license, enough to run off a mountain and land several minutes below.
automation
Hi my name is guillaume, i run an ai/nocode agency and i help people to free them from time-consuming tasks. Today a new case study : Every morning: open inbox → 50+ emails → 30–45 min just to sort the chaos. Built a 10-minute email classifier → now it’s done in 3 seconds. What it does: Invoices → Finance folder + Slack my VA Client names → project folder + Notion task Newsletters → “Read Later” Meetings → calendar auto-add The rest → smart “Review Today” label Inbox zero before coffee -> gained 4–5 hours/week instantly. What’s your inbox nightmare? If you want this automation feel free to ask me 😊

This is an epic workflow. It's amazing how these AI workflows can have such a big impact.
In case you want to try vibe coding!
Hey Business Ideas Community, I do a lot with vibe coding, and wanted to share my flow. It might be able to help you with your ideas. 1) Refine my idea with Claude. "I'm thinking of building x, can you ask me some questions and make a PRD for this to give to Lovable" 2) Give PRD to lovable (Replit / V0 are also good vibe coders) 3) Iterate, and when I'm generally happy, I'll push to github 4) Download my github repo in VS Code; continue with claude code. 5) Usually I need to tell the AI to clean up the code and organize some. 6) Publish to Vercel, and you have a working web app, woohoo I've had a lot of fun building ideas this way, it helps me to make something and test it quickly. If anything is unclear, let me know. Hope this helps you 🙏

The Problem for Owners in this AI Hype
On LI, I saw a viral AI system hit 20K impressions and 100+ comments from CEOs. 50K impressions. 200+ comments. CEOs clapping like crazy. Founders loved it. Tech guys asked for the template. But here’s the embarrassing part: It didn’t solve a real business problem. It just looked impressive. And this is exactly where most business owners waste money on AI: Fancy dashboards. Complicated automations. Big shiny “systems” that make you feel like the company is leveling up… …but don’t move a single metric that matters. Meanwhile, the things that actually save you money, time, and headaches? They look boring. Almost too simple to be taken seriously. No “AI magic.” No fancy UI. Just fixing the real bottleneck that’s been draining your team quietly for months. Because the value isn’t in how sexy the system looks. It’s in how effectively it removes a problem. AI didn’t replace designers. It just exposed who actually understood the fundamentals. Same with business owners. The ones getting results aren’t the ones installing every shiny AI toy. They’re the ones who understand what not to build. Here’s the split I keep seeing: If you want applause: - Buy the fanciest “AI solution” - Get a glowing dashboard - Show your team how futuristic it looks - Feel like you're ahead of the curve If you want results: - Go deep into the actual bottleneck - Fix the boring, unsexy stuff - Build the simplest solution that works every day - Let the numbers be the validation, not the likes Most business owners chase the feeling of “modern.” Operators chase the feeling of progress. Be honest: Have you ever spent money on a fancy AI system… that didn’t change anything?

Agree, often business is about the boring. I also think a lot of people have FOMO now, and that's why those posts explode. What you really need is a semi-tech person that can help you with bottlenecks, but only when bottlenecks are related to technology; not sure how often that's the case.
Survey
Stat that hurts: The average founder still burns 14 hours a week on repetitive crap that any no-code tool kills in seconds. 14 hours = 91 full workdays a year. That’s basically an extra 3-month vacation you’re torching while whining you’re “too busy.” We’re talking: - Copy-pasting leads like it’s 2009 - Sending the same welcome email 50 times a day - Manually chasing invoices - Reformatting the same report every single Monday Tools that fix this cost less than your Netflix + Spotify combined. Yet most people act like automation requires a PhD in rocket surgery. So, confession time: What’s the most brain-dead task you’re STILL doing by hand in 2025?
