If Joe Rogan had any balls Tate should be in his studio recording today
His big issue is deplatforming and free speech etc
Time to put your money where your mouth is
I’ll be honest guys the anti 9-5 stuff comes from miserable people making under $100k
Or miserable people in some sort of high powered career (bankers, lawyers)
Sweet spot of $200k+ and less than 60 hours a week is compelling
@BowTiedGatorDDS
I use it to slow down my drinking. Mix in a couple to feel like you’re still in the mix but have fewer alcoholic beverages in total. I only enjoy the taste of select brands though
@seconds_0
9:30am-10am arrive
6 hrs worth of calls and meetings during the day with random work in between. Staying on top of email between calls. Between calls and emails coming in larger work items are piling up.
5-7:30pm calls are likely finishing up at this point, and now you have
Greek yogurt, whey, creatine, raw honey
62 grams of protein
In a plastic bowl though so it will shrink my balls or whatever the twitter wisdom is on that
The person I respect most (outside my family)
Is a gentleman who got colon cancer at 28 and beat it
Then made money on Wall Street
Only to use the money to found 2 biotech companies that treat cancer
That have both successfully IPOed and are profitable
7 years ago I invited a girl to a date party (not to brag)
She said yes on the condition I found a date for her friend
My buddy said he’d do it for me without knowing what the girl looked liked just to help me out
He’s now engaged to that friend. Stuff like that amazes me
Bartender at local place is a great guy. I befriended him and tipped well always
He gets a job at the nicest restaurant in the city, promoted to manager shortly after
I go to that place for dinner with my mom tonight, somehow we get the best table in the place…
“I’m so sorry. What’s your name again?”
This actually shows respect. Says “I care enough about you to potentially embarrass myself” - it’s counterintuitive
And so many times they ask you for yours too
Both just scared to talk to each other so you miss out on a connection
You derive confidence from doing things that you think are going to make you shit your pants and then not shitting them
Or you shit them and realize you can just shit your pants throw them out, shower, and move on
Girls want your relationship to work so fucking bad if you met not on a dating app
They do dating apps to have sex and wanna date those they met in person regardless of personality or fit
Gotta have a meet cute
Had a couple DMs asking how I got a bartending job with no experience
I walked into a bar and asked the bartender. Owner happened to be there and I asked him for a job and told him I had no experience but I’d never call out
Hired me on the spot
Don’t bother with indeed
@AndyHVandenBerg
Wait til they’re dealing with 4 callouts, a disgruntled employee harassing customers, and any number of challenges they have dealing with non-PE people. 100x harder than working with your associate who just can’t seem to get the excel sheet to tie out
It is so cheap to not drive drunk
Call an Uber
Order a car service
It’s amazing how many rich people get DUIs
Build it into your cost for a night out, driving drunk is not an option
@e_cdalton
@ccmembersonly
It’s interesting. I would trade every experience I ever had at every restaurant, bar, vacation etc for one of my sisters. Imagine the love you have for a kid. Seems like an easy trade
Hey guys for those who don’t know my dad worked on wall street and that’s been a massively positive impact on my life and I’ve reaped the benefits and I’m not sorry
We want a brutal crypto collapse
We want equities down 50%+
We want housing prices down
We want it to be fucking hard to get rich so that people have to do amazing things to get rich
We need real value to make people rich again, not nonsense
“I’m 27 and have cancer and I’m the one convincing you to be more optimistic. You need to spend less time on the internet”
Something a friend of mine actually had to say to me
Eating healthy is very easy. Just find something healthy you like and make it over and over
I eat 4 different types of meals 90% of the time
1. Eggs w spinach and cheese
2. Roid rice w ground beef
3. Roid rice w ground turkey
4. Roid rice w chicken thighs
Veggies w each
@ChrisUnits
@nickcpicks
Too easy to loop hole not to mention a great disincentive to do great things in life
I’d just have my kid start a “consulting business” and pay him absurd fees for “consulting” me on whatever
Fun fact about Outback. Pour up to the steakhouse is 6 oz, and the top of the mountain is 9 oz
As you can see I can afford 9 oz (I’ll also be upgrading with garlic butter on top of my steak)
@seconds_0
Calls are never just calls either. It’s detailed note taking. Everyone sends their notes to the analysts at the end who consolidates the notes and sends them around so nothing is missed.
Depending where you are in deals you’re on you could easily be getting hundreds of
Today is the best day of the year to build an agency
Everybody loses focus
Can’t play pickleball and cards with you. Sorry Mom and Grandma
Maybe you should’ve blocked some time off on my calendly
That guy she’s seeing? He just said “ain’t no laws when drinkin claws” as he cracked his 5th black cherry of the afternoon
And you still think you have a shot?
Give it up bro, you lost
Crazy feeling owning your outcome, being in charge, and having full awareness you have massive shortcomings and need to improve in order to get where I need to
Diagnosing what’s wrong with my business and it’s that I’m in charge and I’m not good enough yet
Feels so ridiculous feeling as stressed as I do when I have one friend whose dad is actively dying of lung cancer and another friend battling kidney cancer (he’s 27)
Me? I’m nervous my business thing won’t work well. It just isn’t real
There’s absolutely nothing wrong with being an SEO expert who specializes in helping nail salons
But you’re not a warrior or reincarnation of a hero or the embodiment of ancient human savagery who’s hungry to kill/be killed
Just chill out man
Just a reminder that sports video games used to be cool
In NCAA 06 (or close to it) you had a pic of your gf in your dorm and the better you played the hotter she got
NFL Blitz you used to be able to make your team do steroids
These poor kids are playing nerfed sports games
Lots of crazy takes on here
Just because you’re making $700k or whatever with just your cell phone doesn’t mean you shouldn’t respect the Deloitte partner make $650k after decades of work
He’s done things and been in worlds you could never
Listen to him
Something a lot of ambitious people have backwards is feeling pride about the number of hours they work
See this a lot with bankers and lawyers
Working a bazillion hours is embarrassing. It’s not the badge of honor you think it is
Need to continue working on being more friendly in everyday life
Crack a joke to a rando at the store
Give the flight attendant a chance to brag about their crazy itinerary for the day
Give attention and energy with no expectation of reciprocation
Always pays you back
Still amazes me I can walk into a restaurant, incur several hundred dollars worth of expenses, and there’s just the assumption I’m gonna pay
0 vetting process. No upfront deposit. Just pure “yeah he’s probably not a scum bag”
White pill transaction set up
Very hard to get a window seat at this place. Best view in the city
Free appetizer comes out
Post dinner drinks on the house
I never even asked. Never even told him I was coming
Just saw my name on the list
My mom: “this is my favorite dining experience I ever had”
I live in Pittsburgh because within 1 year of living here and less than $200k startup capital I have 2 brick and mortar businesses, my name on a building in the wealthiest neighborhood, and an invite to participate in a real estate deal I’m not rich enough for
NYC could never
For $2-3 extra per drink you could drink at a fancy restaurant instead of a mid-tier bar
Either go high end or shitty dive
Anything in between is overrated
Spend 24/7 working or thinking about work
The hours not worked is guilt felt about not working
The hours working is guilt feeling like I need to remove myself from the work to think about the correct way to work
How to stop this
I absolutely love going for a drive
Morning after a nice dinner with a lady grab a coffee, put on tier 1 music, and drive to the nicest neighborhood within 20 minutes and just check it out
Elite morning after activity (if she sleeps over (not to brag))
@callicrates_
The most stable time was when I was a kid because my parents were weathering storms I couldn’t believe or understand until today. They just never let me feel it
I like an uptight country club environment. One where they don’t let you wear jeans.
People get pissed at this but I like the effort of cultivating a certain aesthetic. Everyone having to elevate themselves to be there. It’s a good thing
Launched business 2 today and went off with a lot of hitches
Had an employee show up on painkillers and/or drunk to business 1, terminated immediately and he threatened to sue
Lawyer said I’m good so I’m going to Outback
Online business could never
Pretty interesting to talk to my parents about their life experience now that I’m an adult. They describe some of the hardest times of their lives while I was blissfully unaware trying to kill master hand on Smash Bros N64 to unlock Ness

Harsh truth for young guys
Your friends you have right now in whatever circumstance you’re in
You maybe have 5% of them as real friends if you move or things get shaken up
@ChrisUnits
@nickcpicks
That’s a huge motivator yeab. Plus if you made it later then you have a lot of capital to deploy. If it’s getting taken from you why take risk. You’re sucking risk capital out of the system
Shoutout to the woman at the hotel bar straight up asking the guy next to me if he’s a swinger and then a saying “that’s a shame” when he said no
Just 0% phased asking a wild question and getting a no. 1 in 5 times that probably has an awesome outcome for her
Lesson in there
My friend Du has me wanting to get back here and more active
Some setbacks in my life have caused me to lose interest. Plus was getting impacted by some of the negativity on here
Will need to overhaul my follow list
Warning to unfollow because I might get back to the old me
“I’m great with parents”
-Some 28 year old guy
You mean you’re good talking to people? Yeah you should be able to carry yourself amongst adults because…you’re an adult
That guy she's seeing? He held up a "dads, we'll take it from here" sign on freshman move in weekend at college
And you still think you have a shot? Give it up bro. You lost
If you’re like me you’re getting compliments on your hair almost daily
I always answer with “thank you! I’ll let Annie at sports clips know you said that. It’ll make her day”
Keeps getting a laugh
@RealEstateMaxi
It’s xmas eve, pal. Walk a few steps so kids can get their presents. These drivers are human beings with the biggest routes of the year
I’ve lived in NYC and Chicago in prestigious finance jobs
NYC I was an unconfident idiot and
Chicago I worked 24/7
I did 100x better romantically in Pittsburgh than anywhere because of time and confidence
I was a bartender/Uber driver most of that time
RIP to the candidate who just said “sorry not great with technology” while I asked him to pull up an email I sent him. Automatic no offer. Offhand filler comment ruined any chance he had at the job
A driver quit at loadout, another got stuck which cost $365 to get him out, and another grazed a guys mirror so the guy screamed at me, threatened to call the police, and demanded $1500 (which I’m not paying)
Just get a sales job, kids
One thing I’ve done for a few weeks that’s been great for me is a weekly review call with another ambitious friend
10am Sunday to go over goals, and to review how we did the previous week vs those goals
Excellent for accountability
Structure in next tweet…
Talking to a guy in Pittsburgh. Tells me an awesome story
“I worked for a book store in the 60s on the weekends for about 12 years to save up for a house. I bought it for $37k. It’s worth about $700k right now I rent it out for $2700 a month and I can retire because of it”
My family has taken so many Ls in the last 18 months (no deaths thank the lord)
We all still have each other. All of us still have respect for each other. Those with shortcomings are covered. Those with excess give it no problem.
Plan is to make the excess bigger. So grateful
Guys don’t get dogs and move in with people you’re not engaged to
How many times do we need to see an absolute logistical disaster after a breakup to learn our lessons
Entrepreneurship isn’t self improvement it’s self discovery. Brutal self discovery. Your weaknesses WILL be revealed and it WILL be painful. Improvement only comes if you use that data to correct yourself
I had no idea what loneliness was until I started 2 businesses with 0 operational help
This is a level of “you are on your own” with a harshness I can’t describe
Ultimately I want to own factories in the US with complex manufacturing capabilities
First time I’ve ever said this but I think that’s an end game for me. May sound ridiculous to many but not to you guys I bet
There’s nothing funnier than South Park’s made up depiction of Canadians
Square wheels on the cars. Top half of the head disconnected. Love farts.
It’s based on absolutely nothing but one of the funniest bits the show has
