A Week in The Life of a Claudepilled Marketing Founder medium.com/p/a-week-in-the-l…
(list of everything claude did for me in the past week)
I believe that this person works in the trades because this is definitely how most of them operate
I sent an email because it contains photos of the project, my address, my phone number - every detail they need AND can reply whenever they have time
But that's "lazy and avoidant"???
They would rather you call and scramble to write it all down on a scrap of paper while they're on a job site 🤷

My new favorite tech/business Youtube channel is @asmartbear.
It’s a breath of fresh air in my youtube algorithm, which is all AI hype / doom videos.
The videos are him working through how to grow a business with other founders.
And it’s practical advice, not “wake up at 5am, fail fast, and grind.”
It’s been a great reminder to focus on the obvious stuff.
Talk to your customers. Figure out who they are and why they buy. Then figure out how to find more of them and solve their problem.
It sounds so obvious, but it’s hard to see when you’re in it. Especially in today’s media ecosystem, where everyone is yelling about agents and no one is talking about business fundamentals.
Here's what its like trying trying to buy something in the UK
We need stone stairs and a wall built for our patio - chunky project, good money. I contacted the top 5 best reviewed companies via email, also providing my phone number.
One replied to my email, we had a bit of back and forth, then they ghosted.
One contacted me on whatsapp to set up a time to come out. They came and measured but I never heard from them again after that.
One sent me a text (I assume it was one of them) that just said "I got your email call me" no info identifying the company or inquiry
NONE of these responded within 48 hours
The other two never replied in any way
To think about how this runs a whole a multi million dollar saas for THREE HUNDRED TWENTY FIVE DOLLARS A MONTH
What a time to be alive
BRB making an embroidery of this youtube comment to hang up in my kitchen for when my family QUESTIONS ME
Just want to say I got my year 7 kid a brick phone and it was a great move.
He can call and text his friends directly to make plans, he can let us know if he's going to a friend's house after school.
No internet, no downsides of a smartphone.
Try it out.

I sometimes hate that the last third of my life has consisted almost exclusively of sitting around looking at my phone. but then I think of how my ancestors lived, sat around looking at potatoes or something. compared to them I am winning, and winning big.
"be more ambitious with your prompts" is the wrong advice
it makes you think of gigantic projects but you're more likely missing smaller every day things that it never occurred to you to ask AI to do
anything that can be done on a computer, AI can now do for you
I love how if you get a facial or something they have all these autoresponders that are like IF YOU DONT COMPLETE THIS FORM WE WILL CANCEL YOUR APPOINTMENT
And then when you get there no one has heard of that form, you definitely didn't need to complete it and they just look at you like you're dumb for bringing it up

Cool offer for mutuals I wanted to pass forward:
Can you make it to Tokyo in 24 hours?
A member in my community has a fully-funded space for walking Kumano Kodo Iseji, running October 31 to November 9.
Are you fit enough to walk around 18km/14mi per day with a day pack?
And are you feeling a call to a greater sense of connection - to yourself, to community, and to something larger?
Please dm me if interested!
