Consulting is dead.

I’m on a plane sitting next to a woman who works at a top consulting firm, making a presentation for a fortune 50 client.

ChatGPT has written every single word in this deck.

What happens when clients find out they’re paying millions for ChatGPT? I temporarily forgot that the purpose of hiring consultants is not to improve your business.

It’s defense, not offense. Insurance so you don’t get fired.

Let the grift continue!

Hiring an EA has been the biggest productivity hack of my life.

My EA runs my calendar and email, does research, and so much more.

I loved the company that sourced her so much, I invested in them.

Check out @oceans_xyz for the absolute best outsourced talent. What makes @oceans_xyz unique is that their talent is from Sri Lanka.

Sri Lanka has a ton of US educated candidates who go on to work at international brands (KPMG, Sony, Nestle, etc.).

You get people that are as skilled as anybody you’d hire on shore, for much less.

Jon Stewart was one of the first people who made it acceptable to publicly talk about the lab leak “theory”.

Now it’s on the homepage of the Wall Street Journal.

Not too long ago, Facebook banned posts for saying this.

Zero interest rate phenomena:

1. NFTs
2. Starting a podcast
3. Miami
4. Great resignation
5. Working as an engineer for all 5 big tech companies at once

What did I miss? 6. Overpaying talent

Never overpay for talent again. Hire oversees for some of the best talent in the world.

23 semi-controversial prediction for 2023: Elon's Twitter experiment fails.

It dies a gradual, uneventful death.

- The critics stop reacting
- His experiments add little value
- Most importantly, HE gets bored and moves on

Elon spends late 2023 looking for an exit plan. IPO planned for 2024.
