GET BACK ON @LinkedIn. I am begging you! I am recruiting for some of the biggest brands in the world right now and LI is one of my favorite places to source. Legitimate recruiters are still out there looking for YOU!

@RLPCFelix ME lol

Met a guy at a strip club in Atlanta who said he's never had a job in his life Thought he was a drug dealer. He pulled out his phone and showed me a Chase business checking account with $940,000 in deposits for the year He buys and sells government surplus The US military throws away $7 billion worth of usable equipment every year. Humvees, generators, forklifts, tool sets, office furniture, shipping containers, medical equipment, clothing by the ton. It gets classified as "surplus," moved to a warehouse, and auctioned to the public for pennies The website is govplanet . com. Also govdeals . com and publicsurplus . com Last month's receipts from his phone: 3 military diesel generators: bought for $4,200 total, sold to a contractor in Nigeria for $28,000 40-foot shipping container from a Navy base: bought for $2,800, sold on Facebook Marketplace to a farmer for $6,200 Lot of 200 military-grade sleeping bags: bought for $640, sold on eBay in individual listings at $45 each = $9,000 Pallets of MREs (Meals Ready to Eat, not expired): bought for $1,100, sold on Amazon FBA in cases of 12 for $89 each = $12,400 total Used HMMWV (Humvee) titled for road use: bought for $8,500, sold to a rancher in Texas for $24,000 Gross margin across his operation: 55-70% He finds auctions ending in the next 48 hours, bids on items with low competition (the key is categories most resellers ignore: medical, industrial, and construction), wins at wholesale, and either ships directly to the buyer or stages at a rented yard His startup cost: an LLC, a $2,500 box truck he bought at a different government auction, and $15,000 in 0% business credit cards for his first round of purchases He funds every auction buy on 0% cards. Wins the lot on Monday, lists it on Tuesday, sells by Friday, pays the card from revenue. Card utilization cycles between 0% and 30% and resets every week. Score stays above 750 because the money moves fast enough that statement balances are always low He now runs 60,000-90,000/month through the cards, earns 2% cash back on all of it (1,200-1,800/month in free rewards), and hasn't paid a dollar in interest since he started His biggest single flip: a decommissioned ambulance with 40,000 miles. Bought at a county surplus auction for $6,100. Stripped the medical equipment (sold separately for $3,400). Sold the van to a guy converting it into a camper for $19,000. Total revenue: $22,400 on a $6,100 buy. Same day listing, sold in 9 days "why don't more people do this" Because the auction sites look like they were built in 2004, the listings are written in military jargon nobody understands, pickup locations are on active bases that require paperwork, and most items don't ship, you drive there and load them yourself Every barrier to entry is a barrier keeping your competition out. The guy who's willing to drive a rented flatbed to Fort Hood on a Wednesday and load 3 generators in the rain makes $24,000 on a trip that scared everyone else away met him at a strip club tipping twenties and his entire net worth was built on garbage the government didn't want anymore lmfaooo (we get 700+ score business owners 100K-250K in 0% business credit. what you buy with it is your move. link in bio)

Ever since I used the free resume Harvard template I’ve been getting interviews. Thanks TikTok.

I dont care what anyone says. Construction. Plumbing Electrical Work And all trades are high skilled jobs that deserve just as much respect as Software Engineers and Cybersecurity Professionals.

The whole thing is, most cloud technologies have the same foundational components so if you learn one, you learn them all. I did oracle certs when they first had free offerings back during COVID and I can confirm most of the topics mirrored AWS topics. So worth it.

Despite Oracle singing a big deal I would not recommend investing in getting Certified in Oracle Cloud. They're platform is mess, and their certs change too often with bad renewal terms. Its not that it couldn't be a good CSP its the support, UI and DX that really made it

If your ads are pulling clicks but conversions aren’t lining up, the problem isn’t always in the creative. You launch a new creative. CTR looks strong, engagement feels solid, but CPA is way off. So you shut it down. That’s the mistake I see most brands are making. @jforjacob recently shared a simple hack on this that made me stop and think. Instead of killing off the ad, spin up a quick lander dedicated only to that specific creative. We started testing this too, and the results are wild. When a creative is pulling clicks, it’s already proven the hook is working. The audience is leaning in, and the problem isn’t the ad but in the handoff. If you send that traffic to a homepage or a generic product page, of course, it’ll tank. But if you point it to a page built around the exact promise that pulled them in, you’ll see your conversion rates shoot up. Consider your ad as the headline and your lander as the story around that headline. Most brands never connect the two. They toss out perfectly good hooks because they’re judging on the wrong metric. Once you’ve got a few flexible lander templates, it’s almost no extra work to just swap in messaging that mirrors the ad. That little shift can turn a “loser” ad into one of your winners. If you see strong signals but weak sales, pause before you hit the kill switch because your ad might not be broken at all. It might just be starving for the right landing page.

Want THE #1 retention hack? Make people feel like you actually give a shit. That’s it. Have: - Support that responds. - Success managers that care. - Customers who feel seen. That’s your moat in SaaS. Not some shiny new feature or random discount code.

Anthropic just dropped a full masterclass on building tools for your agents, here's the gist: > evaluate your tools religiously > limit the number of tools > namespace your tools > return meaningful context from tools > prompt-engineer your tool descriptions what each means:

Transcribing, re-reading, highlighting, etc., are all bullshit study techniques. Seriously, if you want to bullshit someone into thinking that you are studying, without actually retaining much information, then those are the techniques to use. But if you’re interested in actually retaining information, then retrieval is the way. As Yang et al. (2023) summarize: "...[P]ractice testing (i.e., practice retrieval) is one of the most effective strategies to consolidate long-term retention of studied information and facilitate subsequent learning of new information, a phenomenon labeled the testing effect, the retrieval practice effect, or test-enhanced learning (Carpenter et al., 2022; Pan & Rickard, 2018; Roediger & Butler, 2011; Shanks et al., 2023; Yang et al., 2021). It has been firmly established that retrieval practice is more beneficial by comparison with many other learning strategies, such as restudying (Roediger & Karpicke, 2006b), note-taking (Heitmann et al., 2018; Rummer et al., 2017), concept-mapping (Karpicke & Blunt, 2011) and other elaborative strategies (Larsen et al., 2013)." TLDR: practice techniques that center around retrieving information directly from one’s brain produce superior learning outcomes compared to techniques that involve re-ingesting information from an external source.

Anyone could quit their job if the did 3 things 1. Spend 1 hour a day making a piece of social content and engaging with others - talk about whatever your passion is or skill from your job 2. Write one email a day to people that found you on social 3. Run $20 of ads a day targeting people who saw your social and read your emails Have the ads be a DM to you, personally reply to them all. Offer them a free call where you give value for 20 mins If they are a fit, offer them 1:1 help with what you are an expert on Voila

Don’t just store receipts in a shoebox somewhere. - Store them digitally - Write down the purpose of the expense - Name files clearly with the date and vendor 2 extra seconds of effort saves you from hours of work later. Or an endless number of questions from your bookkeeper.
