earlier this week.
Great start for the monthly Show & Tells.
The patty-pins are going to become a collectible in this city.
After taking some time (my bad), I’ve tried to recollect my memory of ALL of the shows that took place below 👇

I actually think it was a v smart business move - the guy's a fitness trainer/fitness content creator? This move is for sure spiking searches for him way more than just being known as some dude who married an actor's daughter...straight up guerrilla marketing for his business imo

I strongly believe Blinkit is going to win in this space over Zepto- very fascinating to follow down to the unit economics between the both and the changes they made to increase profits
Matt (
@mattespoz
) is one of the few I'm bullish on from Toronto!
-sold his first co at 19 (in 1 year)
-sold his second co at 22 (in 3 months)
Now he's building 12 companies in 12 months.
He is doing things differently than other builders I've seen who try to build a startup,
Exciting news: Journey+ has officially been acquired 🎉
1/ Here's the crazy story of how we built, scaled, and sold a company to private equity (in 3 months):👇
@tibo_maker
Interested! However, just an observation, the AI videos you are generating work better for Youtube shorts/Insta reels than tiktok. Tiktok is all about human faces and being personal and imperfect vs Instagram reels where things are more polished and these AI vids work best on
@atalovesyou
The biggest benefit is the quality of life (ONLY if you have a great secure job or a well funded founder). The perks you get are crazy compared to the rest of the world - they used to be better before to which they have started to limit. You end up living in a bubble however
so i've had 8 potential ideas to commit to and i couldn't decide...but THAT is exactly what i want to get better at...avoiding analysis paralysis sooo simply committing to what feels right at the moment 🤷♀️
i used to call this a yolo moment in hs 🥲

It was so cool to see someone so accomplished (wrote the book on Eclipse, VP, CTO, etc) still being so down in the details of being a crafter
Never above doing a scrappy demo

Attended
@KubeHuddle
at the Toronto Reference Library (who knew they had spaces to host events?).
It was my first ever Kubernetes event, and my brain is fried trying to grasp everything.
Grateful to have had many introductory talks in between and some were so wholesome.

I am the "marketing founder"
@outseta
... but truth be told, I haven't really focused on marketing in about three years.
As in, I've spent less than 20% of my time here. This fall, that changes...
Heading home rn

We planned to get a quick bite….we ended up staying for 4 hours.

Thanks to his tour, I learned about a fascinating neighbourhood close by known for hosting the best street

For those uncertain about design, I can't recommend enough to attend this or the next one if you don't get a spot.
I feel design will be the differentiator as coding becomes more automated with AI and no-code tools.

@internet_pipes
- which platforms paid the most?
- Were there any trends between which industry and platform? Eg fashion is better on Instagram or tiktok?
- do most maintain their growth after going viral?
- how long on average does one be consistent before hitting virality?

Watched a film recently that was really good.
It's all about the loneliness epidemic and why communities matter way more than meets the eye.
The best part? You can only see it at a screening, since they're trying to bring ppl together.

Take magnesium at 7-8pm, fall asleep and wake up early, don’t use phone as soon as you wake up, that 1am focus occurs during 4-8am as well which gives you energy through out the day :)

2. Craft Resume -
@syedaminx
created a tool to customize resumes for EACH job application. That’s pretty major, as every job-hunting tool out there changes bullet points, which you can now do with chatgpt for free.
There are also Chrome extensions that you can quickly apply to
