People doubt Grok Bot can add 3-5% EBITDA to my dad's KFCs.
New goal: 50+ stores with a tiny corporate team.
I sent him these 25 ideas this morning:
FINDING STORES TO BUY
1. Map every KFC owner from KFC's franchisee disclosure list, by units and state
2. Check broker sites daily and text me when a KFC portfolio is listed
3. Compare each year's franchisee list to spot owners who are shrinking
4. Watch state filings for owner changes, new holding companies and dissolutions
5. Score every store keep, fix or close, so we only buy and keep the best boxes
6. Rank counties by traffic count and number of chicken competitors
APPROACHING OWNERS
7. Prep and log every owner call so my dad walks in knowing everything
8. Send a handwritten-style letter to every KFC owner in a geography
9. Run a confidential intake form for owners who want to sell
10. Answer the inbound line 24/7, say it's an AI, and transfer warm leads to a human
11. Build a one-page dossier on every owner before the first call
CLOSING DEALS
12. Keep KFC's transfer-approval checklist live on every deal
13. Rebuild every seller's P&L in one format, with owner add-backs separated
14. Model every deal's payback, including remodel and ramp-up costs, before we bid
ONBOARDING
15. Connect each acquired store's POS on day one
16. Run a 90-day onboarding checklist for every acquired store
RUNNING THE P&L
17. Text each manager when prime cost is two points off, every Monday
18. Build the schedule from sales history, weather and local events
19. Closers text the waste, and cook quantities get tuned by daypart
20. Rank the three slowest drive-thru dayparts per store
21. Audit delivery app tiers, markups and promos
PEOPLE
22. Text every applicant within minutes and book the interview
23. Track the GM and area-coach bench for every store, and flag where we're thin before we buy
GROWTH
24. Draft replies to every Google review, with a human approving the 1 and 2 stars
25. Track every store's KFC audit and scorecard results so approvals go through clean
Told him to pick the ones that sound most valuable.
Will report back.
My dad owns a bunch of KFCs (ex-General Mills exec).
Walked him through Grok Bot today.
A few things we're setting up for him:
- Daily P&L benchmarking across stores
- Scanning Yelp reviews and flagging problem stores
- Labor analysis and smarter scheduling
- Answering store calls (human backup)
His estimate... 3-5% more EBITDA.
On fried chicken.
Boring businesses are about to print.
Alright look... I know this video is bad. But it was FREE.
Literally $0.
Grok Bot made it on its own computer:
"I built the video myself instead of paying an AI service. The layouts, type, paper textures and animation are made as web pages, recorded frame by frame, and stitched into video with a free tool called ffmpeg."
This is today.
Soon making incredible videos cost next to nothing.
Infinite UGC videos.
Infinite video games.
Infinite movies.
Maybe dead internet?
I don't know but I'm buckled up and here for it.

Wanted to test Nano Banana 2.1 so Grok Bot built me a blind split test.
10 rounds. I pick which image looks more real. It reveals the winner at the end.
Nano won 10 of 10 against Chat.
Pack it up, it's over.
I've paid out millions in commissions to creators.
Sent a 22 y/o a $70k wire for one month in May.
Top creators:
- Post 7+ times a week
- Get better every batch
- Learn new formats
- Take feedback and use it
Bottom:
- Submit old TikToks
- Send 1-5 videos then quit
- Get one hit then stop posting
- Get defensive about feedback
Similar talent. Wildly different outcomes.
Dear Black / Grey Hat Drop Shippers,
I will pay you a full-time salary to do this for BoomBoom.
Same skills. No ban risk. Health insurance.
Come to the light.
Finally leaning into Grok Bot and it's incredible.
Every day it:
- Drafts 10 static ads (via the OpenAI API)
- QAs and scores them
- Sends them to me for approval
- Builds the approved ones out in Meta
- Launches them
I just say yes or no.
Wild times.
Joke aside, Dylan's scaling a software company with 20,000+ brands and a ton on his plate...
He still hops on the phone with us whenever we need, constantly asking for (and executing on) product feedback.
Levels to this game.
Replying to @AugustNoble
Meanwhile I'd pay $15K just to talk with you every week.
Different strokes.
Different folks.
When did every agency start pushing bi-weekly calls?
We pay $15k/month... weekly call is too much to ask?
Am I an old head or is this just normal now?
Boss man said we need more partnership ads so we’re launching 500 this week
BRANDS TO WATCH:
- Quit with Jones
- Sun Powder
- Feetures socks
- Allday Spray
- Magna
- Boomboom
- lockset jewlery
- lelick

I am trying to get a youtube plaque.
Its my goal for 2027.
I currently have 2.5k subscribers.
I will post monthly while I try to make this climb.
I will give you free ecom advice if you go subscribe.
Who can make ads like these for BoomBoom?
We'll pay you 10% of the revenue they drive in our Meta account - uncapped.
DM me.
AI creators + Trybe is going to be nutty.
Talk is now officially cheap.
If you're truly incredible at making ads you can now make 5-15% of a brand's Meta revenue.
I wouldn't be surprised if we start cutting $100k+/month checks to kids pumping out AI ads.
