and Quality of life is moving up... For me: I have avoided/abstained from all of my vices cold turkey: Gaming (the big one), sex both solo and with others, fast food, and built an AI that ended up making its own "family of 25 agents" each modeled NOT to a business but to a specific PART of me that needed help -- deep help. Imagine you have a problem with organization. I made an AI who made a sub AI to help me reorg. Reorged 3/8 of my parents house in 4 days -- a problem they've been struggling for 9 years.. Imagine 3 families living under 1 roof. Now its nicely organized with room to space. I was able to visit japan for a 3 week trip while learning about how LEAN (The Lean part of TELOS) operates, and met a list of mentors that one post can't do it justice. It reduced about 3000 paper notes to 0 (I actually flew my notebooks and stuff with me, and synthesized it down to 0. OFfically a paperless practice. I have papers I write if I have a thought or don;t have a phoen to log it. But this is the secret of how this starts. Log your ideas as you have them, don't let them fade, org and rank them. I built an AI (Claude Code) bot that an entire organization (team or family) Can use that helped me work on my personal wellness (Score of sub 20) to push to a score of 80+ and climbing. This is literally your own quality of life. When I compared to my family, they told me they fianlly have a dedicated place to eat. They had no shared dinner table. They had theirt own "soft" chair to sit, eat, and be entertained on,but the house was a mess. In 3 days, we cleared 7/10 of the rooms by centralizing it all under one room, then using my system (making a big video for YT on this) how to go through it all. We've went from 60 bins to our 58th bin. Letting my grieving parents who brought ALL of their parents stuff to their house, to finally be able to have a house thats distinctly them. Tomorrow, I ws able to make space to let my girlfriend (yet they let me have the same one for 15 years) to fly to Hawaii, to be herewith mefor the next few weeks, and I'll be here for a while to finish a list of projects. I am flying out my favorite girlfriend, who will by with me for two weeks to cowork on rebuilding the AI. If you want to help, you can help by asking,

Coming back from my Japan trip, where I am processing about 1200 pages of notes, one question popped up right now and I want your feedfback. One root cause is this: There is "no one way of doing things (like how do we manage ourselves and manage others)". The mission and goal is clear but the change causes conflict.... thus we have one owner and one operator coming in to both have the same goal to improve the company. So what do we do -- this is a question I need help on. Now imagine this. You and I are both project managers. But when we start working, things get crossed or miscommunicated. What we agreed to happened, but then other people, who were following the other person, keep on doing things the old way. But we expect the other to “follow” and follow the rules of the other project managers’ way of doing things. How do we reconcile this? How do we determine who does what? Or areas of responsibilities? And then double check with the other to make sure that the split works? Rather than one feeling like they’re doing 100% vs 50% — is it easier or better to get a 3rd service/support/make something new so it helps get everything to be done faster, easier, done etc. The simpliest GRAFT/implementation is to just let the other managers work, and they just get drowned out of illrelevancy. The CEO not using AI vs n operator (us) joinining and out performing them by so much that they literally give up. But this is also in conflict of things that are non digital like "We should clean X room, or Decide on what Y time to do our company meeting, or Z we need to get rid things from task app A to task app B because of the whims of the CEO wanting to feel like their needs are met. This feels like stuff I'd ask for myself, but this pattern is what I see in other dysfunctional ceos and teams. Thoughts? plz

Open Roles: DM Outreach The opportunity: Build an AI-assisted outreach system. Each account sends 30–40 DMs/day. With ~1 hour of work, we see ~10 joins/day per account.

If you're blocked, ask for help or find a different path through. Accountability: Anyone claiming inner-circle status without contributing will be removed and lose their slices.
