At his peak, Pablo Escobar was the 7th richest man on Earth.

He controlled 80% of the global cocaine trade, moving 15 tons a week.

His logistics network was more sophisticated than most Fortune 500 companies.

Here’s his $150B supply chain playbook they still teach at Harvard: By 1989, Escobar's operation generated $30B annually.

That's more than Nike, McDonald's, or Microsoft at the time.

But the real genius wasn't the product - it was the distribution system.

He built what every supply chain manager dreams of: total control from source to customer

In 2021, a pet food CEO accidentally triggered the biggest financial war in history.

Ryan Cohen bought a "dying" business for $76 million.

18 months later, Wall Street hedge funds lost $5+ BILLION.

Here's how selling dog food taught him to break the entire financial system: 🧵 August 2020: Ryan Cohen walks away from Chewy after selling it for $3.35 billion to PetSmart.

Most billionaires buy yachts.

Cohen quietly bought 9 million shares of GameStop - a "dying" brick-and-mortar chain everyone expected to disappear.

$8.40 per share. $76 million total.

Taiwan makes 92% of the world's most advanced chips.

If China invades tomorrow, we're looking at WW3.

So Trump forced them to move $100+ billion of production to America before it's too late.

Here's how a tiny island became the most dangerous place on Earth:🧵 March 3, 2025: Trump drops the bombshell.

Standing next to TSMC CEO C.C. Wei at the White House he announced:

"Taiwan Semiconductor is investing $100B in the United States."

This brought TSMC's total US investment to $165B - the largest foreign direct investment in US history.

Trump just signed the largest spending bill in U.S. history.

- Nearly 1,000 pages
- $3.4 TRILLION in impact
- Passed by just one Senate vote

Elon called it a “disgusting abomination.”

Others say it’s the key to saving America.

But here's what everyone's missing: 🧵 July 4th, 2025: While Americans were grilling burgers, Trump signed legislation that dwarfs anything in U.S. history.

The "One Big Beautiful Bill" makes his 2017 tax cuts permanent, adds $46.5B for border security, and cuts $1.7T from social programs.

The scale is insane.

Amazon’s worst nightmare isn’t TikTok or Walmart…

It’s ONE Chinese company you’ve never heard of.

They’re quietly taking over global shipping - and powered Temu’s entire rise.

Here’s how they’re hijacking ecom from the shadows (and how Amazon is fighting back):🧵 Most people think Temu's success is about cheap products.

Wrong.

It's about Cainiao's logistics network making $2 products profitable to ship globally.

While Amazon charges $15+ for international shipping, Cainiao does it for $3-5.

That's not competition - that's disruption.

DHL, UPS, and Maersk quietly deployed AI machines that unload trucks 2x faster than humans.

No injuries. No breaks.

Manual labor has officially started dying.

New AI-powered "smart warehouses" now:

> Sort 6,000 items/hour (5x human speed)
> Unload trucks 24/7 vs 8-hour shifts
> Make real-time AI route optimization decisions

The speed difference is crushing manual operations.

This jewelry brand came to us doing 300 orders/day.

But their supplier was failing them completely, making it impossible to scale.

Just 90 days later, they were pushing 1,000+ orders/day.

Here’s a step-by-step guide on how we turned their chaos into predictable growth:🧵
When this client first reached out, they were in crisis mode.

Their previous supplier couldn't handle their 300 daily orders.

Orders were getting delayed or not shipped at all.

Google just declared war on Amazon.

Their new AI weaponized 50 billion products against every retailer on Earth.

No more scrolling. No more comparing. No more checkout.

Here’s how they’re ending ecom as we know it (and the once-in-a-decade opportunity it just created):🧵 At Google I/O 2025, they didn't just announce updates.

They announced the death of traditional ecommerce.

Their new AI Mode can now access 50+ billion product listings, try clothes on you virtually, and buy products FOR you.

Amazon should be terrified.

This billionaire gave a 20-minute speech criticizing China.

Shortly after, he vanished for 3 months.

When he returned, he had lost:

- $31 billion
- His powerful voice
- Control of his $877 billion company

Here’s what really happened to the Chinese Jeff Bezos:🧵 Before the speech, Jack Ma was untouchable.

Co-founder of Alibaba, worth $61 billion, China's richest man.

His company processed more transactions than Amazon and eBay combined.

He was literally the face of Chinese entrepreneurship.

But ONE speech changed everything...

This leaked memo from Shopify’s CEO just shocked Silicon Valley:

AI is now mandatory for all 10,000+ employees.

Shopify is forcing the entire $6 trillion ecommerce industry to choose: adapt or die.

Here’s why this changes everything (and how to profit before it’s too late):🧵 Shopify powers 117 of the top 2000 North American retailers.

$9 billion in web sales in 2024.

When they mandate something, the entire ecommerce industry follows.

And Tobi Lütke just declared: "Reflexive AI usage is the new baseline expectation."

The memo details?
