How to get the most possible out of @bot!
I recorded a deep-dive for the @alpha_founders channel explaining how I use it, and exactly what you should set up on yours to get more out of it:

@joshsuggss made $1M+ from X with less than 500 followers. This week he came to Founders School to show our students how.
At 21, he walked New York parks with a microphone, asking strangers about products and selling the videos to brands as ads.
He made about $200K that first summer, then dropped out of Syracuse with 11 classes left.
To find clients, he posted about his offer daily, tagged the brands he wanted to work with, and took calls from their DMs.
That was the start of StreetTalk.
Two years later, the company has hired 100+ people and makes thousands of street interview ads for brands every month.
Here are some of the lessons he shared with the students:
We built an AI judge to score our students' sales pitches out of 100.
The first round was rough.
Some students never named a buyer, and others left out a price or a guarantee.
The second round was much better. You could see the students gaining more confidence.
Then a sales expert came in and pitched against them.
The final scores surprised us all...
0:00 Pitch competition
1:00 How to make an irresistible offer
2:00 How to sell anything: what the AI rewarded
3:00 A sales pro vs the AI judge
6:00 The final scores
Another student has passed the $1k goal.
Today I made $1000 completely from my computer.
Here’s how I did it.
I started out by using Claude, Grokbot, ChatGPT, and all the AI that I had access to to scrape the internet for restaurants that did not have a website. After cold calling about 100 of them, I realized that restaurants were not a good market because some people did not speak English, or there were other issues with budget and finding the manager.
Then I pivoted to working and building my audience, getting more followers, and eventually getting someone to reach out to me about making a website. After about a couple weeks of work, I was finally able to deliver something that the customer was happy with, and I made my first $1,000. Thank you to everyone who helped me along the way.

Jay Yang on charging higher prices:
At 20, Jay Yang (@Jayyanginspires) turned an idea into $25,000 in sales in under 30 days.
So by the time he started building, he already had paying customers.
Here’s how Jay did it, and how you can use the same approach to validate your own ideas:
Ambitious teenagers are the future.
Today I just made my first $1,700 through the internet!
I redesigned a website for a business.
At 14, I never thought I could sell to a complete stranger.
I've always wanted to be an entrepreneur and this is the first step towards that goal.

Our students just finished reading $100M Offers by @AlexHormozi to help them make $1M by the time they graduate.
Here are a couple of takeaways:
3/ Students presented their progress to their parents.
At the end of the week, parents joined us to hear what students have built, what they’ve accomplished, and what they’re working on next.
Students also shared their current grades and how far they’ve progressed through the academic curriculum.
We wrapped up week 6 of Founders School, where 20 students are working toward making $1M by graduation.
Here's everything that happened during the week:
1/ Taking their marketing to the streets.
Students created signs and billboards with QR codes and took them around the streets of NYC.
Anyone interested in getting a website built could scan a code and inquire.

I introduced a bunch of the @alpha_founders kids to my colleague to work for us.
He just called me, “Who are these kids? These are some of the most impressive kids I’ve ever met.”
Going to be such a premium for going to this school.

Can a teenager make $1M in profit before graduating high school?
Our students hit the streets of NYC to ask people what they thought of Founders School’s $1M guarantee.
Watch to see if New Yorkers think they can pull it off.
We wrapped up week 5 of Founders School, where 20 students are working toward building a $1M business by graduation. A few highlights 👇
2. Elon replied to one of Nat’s posts.
@nateliason shared a post about everything his bot can do.
Elon saw it and replied.
The post now has 550K+ views. Pretty wild.

Yesterday @nateliason shared a list of things his @bot can do. The post generated 532K views and even got a reply from @elonmusk.
Founders School students watched all of this unfold live before their very eyes.
3. Rhett Jones joined us as a guest mentor.
He’s an @Alphaschool alum who built a $3M bike park while still in high school, then went on to build a successful DTC business.
Rhett was direct with the students and told them that building a business would be one of the hardest things they’d ever do.
He also encouraged them to practice gratitude, stay humble, and spend less time on their phones.
Focus is everything.
That last one applies to all of us.
It’s hard to build anything meaningful if you keep giving your attention to the things that don’t matter.
On to week 6!
