0) What's your explosive growth business playbook? I.e.: What kinds of product-market fit you were trying to find? Did you initially think of doing extremely mentally intensive stuff such as advanced algorithms (I mean c'mon, observability and writing your own cryptography primitive is the definition of advanced for me)... Didn't you think that you could have made just as much money with some stupid ChatGPT wrapper-like app for example and go down that route? Or whatever some simple CRUD-like code, and marketing the fuck out of it instead, as opposed to going balls deep into innovating with a novel algorithm... Or were it always obvious to you that would drive the most profit based on your skills, you felt that itch to use/innovate in those more advanced computer science topics? You were driven to build something defensible as heck, technically hard to replicate? EXAMPLE: I got a liking for computer graphics, and I noticed there is a hole in the market for a specific tech which I won't mention, but all I can say it would be a tool for graphic designers to generate automatically something that big companies like Adobe didn't bother implementing and their current solution is trash, I have some confidence that I could learn on my own and write that... But I'm financially broke and have no job, I can't just risk 6 months into a project or god knows how long it take me to get up to date to that algorithm/math even with help of ChatGPT (It couldn't one-shot it) like that without the safety net of a lot of money saved, AND the business skills to pull off something off similar and getting myself at least 1 thousand dollars monthly for my survival. I don't even have some organic following, email list etc that I could tap of people that would pay for that product, etc. I can see how someone with a ton of saved cash and lust for innovating can go on weeks and months on some projects like yours. 1) How the heck do you find and test product-market fit? How deep do you go into a MVP or a test before realising it's gonna be a failure monetarily? i.e.: CAC is too high and LTV too low, or time-to-first-dollar takes too long and you can't use that to fuel more growth, etc. Or does it all just fall into place when you went after some novel algorithm that opened you a blue ocean market for you, essentially? 1.1) Did you build that novel algorithm out of intellectual pursuit FIRST, or did you see the market opportunity first, and went after it? Were you crazy obsessed with finding that market fit that would give you a crazy edge by thinking: "FUCK YES. I WILL WRITE a mathematically novel way of disrupting some industry that has FUCKING DEEP POCKETS" ... Or did it start with just: "I'll fuck around with some algorithms and see where it leads". You seem to be the first one. 1.2) Did you bootstrap yourself with your own cashflow, or did you need investors cash? What did you do for money when you were building your company before it returned profit doing the prototyping, the endless streak of failed projects, etc? 1.3) How are you getting and converting those leads for your cybersecurity company? Does most of your business budget goes into serving the current customers or into aggressive scaling by pouring as much money as possible into sales/ads 3) Did your Harvard alumni networking get you together with people that are helping you create and run a business (Within the context of, that you would have fumbled around for, let's say 10 years without it)? 3.1) This leads into this question, did university help you how? Do you believe university got you an advantage at bootstrapping you that saved you let's say 10 years? Example: - The environment that helped you learn and develop great discipline - The networking - The extremely well-paying job opportunities that would have been a pain in the ass to get due to having to build a portfolio and having to work with clients that paid less, i.e. freelancing online starting as a rat in fiverr.com, etc? - Access to high leverage partnerships like acquiring investors, mentoring, etc... 4) Do you find hard to be the tech guy and the marketing guy at the same time? Or did you parter up with someone else for the marketing? How did that go early on? At some point of course you had so much cash flow you could hire people to fill in positions such as closing sales on the phone, or whatever. But somehow you still need to lead them, or pay a hefty sum to some world class people under you... Someone starting out can't afford that, unless investors come. OBS: If you have any names on teachers/authors or entrepreneur interviews out there that got a lasting impact on how you operate your business that isn't just the basic obvious guru crap-talk, I'd love that.

This channel goes extremely deep and detailed into having a probabilistic based mindset and how that is crucial for anything we do that is specially highly probabilistic like dating and business.

The best RSD guy that I found is Todd V. I like his style, he's a great teacher. Here is one of his videos on inner life game, the probabilistic mindset. It would be interesting if @Leo Guramade a whole video on having a probabilistic based mind as opposed to a "fear based mind". I think that goes alongside the subconscious reprogramming content he is working on. I think this explains a lot why we kinda go crazy or discouraged when doing something that is highly probabilistic and it's hard to judge if we are getting better or worse with short time frames, specially with dating/game and business. Summary from NotebookLM by Google: Here is another video of the same subject from a professional trader

I don't know him, but I've seen Julien Blanc (also RSD) ... Just hearing him talking for 5 minute is enough to feel that air of scammy pickup scumbag just by his demeanour. I know Leo knows this and mentioned before at least in his video series of how to get better with women criticising that toxicity, Julien Blanc was involved in being disgusting, gratuitous abuse of japanese women by taking their heads and putting to his crotch and screaming out loud "Pikachu!" or something else of that nature. There were waves of cancelling of him by GOVERNMENTS BANNING HIM FROM ENTERING THEIR COUNTRIES. GERMANY BAN: https://www.dw.com/en/activists-call-for-sexist-pickup-artist-julien-blanc-to-be-banned-from-germany/a-18071620 - SINGAPORE BAN: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-11-26/singapore-bans-julien-blanc/5920256 - BRAZIL BAN: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-11-14/brazil-will-deny-visa-to-woman-choking-pick-up-artist/5891556 - UK BAN: https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2014/nov/19/julien-blanc-barred-entering-uk-pick-up-artist

For RSD Tyler/Owen Cook, Tai Lopez is a "genius" because he puts in high regard hype marketing the heck out of people. That's what he does all day for his whole career, everyday is to focus at hyping people up to sell his pick-up courses and mentoring. I think Owen Cook has very high awareness because of the quality of many of his insights, but he chooses to keep grinding and milking people for more and more money and doesn't really put truth as a priority.

AI Summary from NotebookLM by Google:

I think Tai Lopez should be taken with a whole shaker of salt, but we can't deny he's a major street hustler and I think there are lessons to be learned of marketing about how he scams people, taken ethically. But I don't think that what he teaches is best found in him, it's the same kind of internet marketing guru archetype that we have known, Tai Lopez just happened to be the earliest most successful of that type, people were much less immune to that kind of guru and he made consistently money back for each dollar spent right away with YouTube Ads, those days those marketing funnels take more time to make money, and there is more of a need for giving an air of authenticity like how Alex Hormozi does. I'd say Tai Lopez isn't even a great teacher, he's sloppy as heck as a teacher and focus most of his efforts on hype advertisement. Alex Hormozi is a spetacular teacher, that guy works hard as heck, wrote 3 great books and pumps great content on the clock. Tai Lopez kept using the initial success money to keep going harder and deeper into scamming He moved into scamming investors by doing acquisition of brands and being cocky thinking he could return profit with some stupid low effort crypto crap and setting e-commerce stores with those brands and failing to return profits, and probably even lying. He didn't even bother to become a great teacher, and his YouTube channel has plummeted in views.

If you have any other segments you want me to pinpoint, just ask me. I have all of the subtitles downloaded and I do full text search on them. Including AI search if you don't remember the exact words.

@The Caretaker Oh my god, this video is so sad. I re-watched many times right now. This is how I actually feel deep down when I'm seeking for women, porn, etc. In a way that is just meant to fill that void, specially lust. Makes me remember of me last week I was using it as an ego back-lash. To me engaging in masturbation too much is the canary in the mine of my mental health, but it can become this vicious cycle of becoming the cause itself of more mental health degradation through the dopamine pull, through the isolation it causes. Like that kid in the room, wasting himself away in masturbating over degenerate TikTok. His body frail and fat, and mind degraded to the point he couldn't even get a real girlfriend from extreme social/emotional atrophy from all the gooning sucking his vital energy. We feel POWERFUL when we jerk off to some hot chicks online, yet it's the opposite. WE ARE THE PREY. Our spirits weakened by lust, that once evolutionary was at least meant for procration, then societally meant for creating wife and family, then for mutual enjoyment in a person-to-person sexual and emotional relationship, then finally its final, must degenerate form, gooning until your lifeforce gets sucked out of you, as your last ditch effort to at least feel some nervous system stimulation that your brain naturally needs unless trained otherwise, now just completely hijacked by the law of least resistance due to our inner lack of emotional strength, that we generally build through developing healthy habits and connections. We didn't give ourselves that emotional strength, that love. The TikTok whore is giving that to us, but enslaving us. Even if none of this is so dramatic, in reality, the compounding effect of having hours wasted on this can be dramatic overtime. The constant loss of momentum through the day or the course of a week with crap like that drains that extra 20% of energy we need to really push ourselves out of the comfort zone into whatever we need: Dating, Building Skills, Meditation, Spirituality. That energy is needed.

😂 I had hot stuff going on a lot of calls even on a first call, those late night calls are quite productive. They are comfortable doing stuff that physically they might not do because they feel completely physically safe.

A lot of women use a lot of filters on their faces, and sometimes people go to places just to get good Instagram photos, what is the difference? I didn't say this is a good idea, but this is EXACTLY the kind of fakery that people are doing regardless. What is the difference between this and actual real photos if they look the same, but with AI one can optimize and retouch them. People have been using photoshop and editing, camera correction, light tricks, going to places for specifically tailoring a high-status version of their profiles, etc. People spend a thousand dollar on a phone, just to get a good camera. For what? For an Instagram profile. I might as well cut that off, and actually live life and not obsess with photos. This is answering the need for images with images, and one can just as well have a fulfilling real-life activities as well, they are not excluded. I'm not a hot guy, and I getting great pictures of myself is difficult, there are certain light conditions and angles and optics that are hard to get in the real world, and would require at least a great camera on a tripod and remote trigger. I tried it, it sucks. I can't get the optics properly, and the places I go are not instagrammable enough. And about pets: My dog won't stand still, and I couldn't get some good aesthetic photos with it at the same time I get my best angles, with the AI I can upload my dog photos and get it to stand still.

The issue is confusing the map with the territory. Tacit knowledge (know-how) with the know-what theory. Of course they don't think, because it became unconscious mastery already. I think all of this comes from being in the flow state, the bandwidth the brain has for self-communication is much higher fidelity than chatting in some forum. People have to then translate this stuff to their own personal way of seeing things. This goes for everything else. Spirituality, business, personal development, emotional mastery, etc.

Tinder is fucking garbage. I had literally more success on cold DM on Instagram and Facebook than Tinder. Anyone recommending those garbage dating apps haven't dug deep enough. Here is the workflow for you guys: Use Nano Banana free AI model on Google AI Studio, upload photos of yourself/body that shows enough of yourself for the AI to understand you, then generate good photos with it that don't look like AI images by prompting lower quality, candid images, with harsh light, motion blur, noise grain, "bad smartphone quality", etc. Generate until you find images that don't look AI slop with your skin like plastic and that actually looks like you, and on top of that, it will enhance you a bit (Don't fucking over do it, that's cat-fishing.) and give you style on the photos. You can even ask it to put you in social situations, it has almost-perfect human anatomy understanding currently, then set a good Instagram profile with those photos, and Cold DM women in your area by looking for them in local places and see the "followers" of those pages. GOLD TIP: Go to DUDES profiles that are local dudes (see followers list of a local page), THEN see WHO HE IS FOLLOWING. You can steal this guy's curation work like candy, a lot of times you can see dudes that are following chicks all of a specific type all within that city and that are probably single, because he did the work to filter them out. Seeing a chick's profile also work, because you can see the other local women she follows. You can access the entire network of local people by following the breadcrumbs like this, even judge how online they have been and not waste your allowed max daily messages on inactive profiles. The bitch here is that you need to filter them out because Instagram isn't Tinder, all women are there, and 60% of women is taken. Many are obvious they got kids in photos or tagged a guy in their bio. Profiles with less followers are more likely to answer. Leave a thoughtful comment or two on their public images if possible or answering to their stories something engaging or even basic ("😹 Wow, what a cute kitty, how old is she!?"), specially if they are not just their pretty face on it and they give something to be talked about. Also add photos with your own pets, or generate a fake cute pet with you with it and say it's not yours (because it doesn't exist duh).

I think we should see this stuff like some bar filled in her head, Todd V uses "Attraction" and "Comfort". Each woman will have a different threshold mix of both of them she needs to feels for doing different things with you. A lot of behaviours like giving a phone number often is like a reflex, it barely takes attraction or comfort. Some women probably have such low self-control and they are so conditioned by men around them, that just going through the "compliance ladder" is enough, because they feel just enough attraction and comfort from you automatically, and would give in as a reflex, and then regret it. That's why, if you go up intimacy too fast without building enough comfort and attraction, there are high chances of it backfiring, and they see it in their minds just as a one-night-stand regrettable moment, even if they comply and appear like they are liking it. That's where more "boyfriend" vibes would go in for extra comfort. But too much BF vibes without enough attraction or too fast pacing gives nice-guy vibes.

They always do it much faster, because those chicks are always moving to some dude, they can't be still on their own by themselves for too long. I end up just going into hermit mode after some emotional turmoil to process it. But recently, I've also recognized looking for connection after a break up can be also good, if done in a comfy way, but that can become another form of being stuck in a comfort zone.

I guess with all of this info here, you basically should stack them. If she pushes you off for a in-person date, and she keeps still wanting to talk to you, you might still take that shot to keep bonding, to keep warming her up. But if that's done too much it risks overcooking the chick and wasting your time. No Good. I like to roast them a bit, much tastier, so in person we are basically already going for a make out. Some women are like that, because most of the game I did was texting/phone calls/audio messages, that's where I know where to warm them up well. Even as far as cumming with each other on the phone. It's pretty lovely when it goes well. When they get nice and comfy on the phone. They can be even lying on bed before sleep talking to you late night before they feel comfy going for a date, at that point she might even be the one asking for seeing you when it happens. But this stuff.... It's probabilistic, it's not some science. It's artistry. 💝

Social romantic/sexual stuff is really my kryptonate, it leads my mind into a terrible state like nothing else. Pushing out of my comfort zone when it comes to dating is crushing to me. Specially when that pushes you away from other things you enjoy. When it happens for me when my mind is focused on dating stuff, and it starts going badly, due to the emotional intensity, it derails my flow for everything else in my life, and it takes me at least 2 weeks time, up to 6 months when it was really bad.

Don't bother with her line of reasoning, don't get caught IN the conversation, operate outside of it through the vibes. It's just something she said on that moment, in her mood in that week. But let me tell you about what she said, she pretty much is giving a reference to being that kind of person that has low social energy in general or bipolar-ish with intense highs and lows, giving some kind of impulsive traits that you saw as red flags. Frankly, next message shouldn't even be text. Should be a flirty audio message to break off of that frame, and lead it into something interesting that will reveal more information about her to you and you work further with that + following it a text-message with the context of the audio just in case she doesn't hear it. I'd prefer sending it in the morning just after you woke up to get an even deeper and relaxed vocal tone and casual vibes. "I just woke up, and I was thinking..." The ideal is to move it into an audio call for bonding, and get it super engaging, if she doesn't wanna show up in person. Probably good to show empathy, what she said is ripe material to ask her about what kinds of things makes her feel like that, mention that you're also that kind of person that doesn't really feel like talking to someone new when you're having a bad day, and show having emotional and social awareness, not just flirting mindlessly, which is good, but she might be a little more demanding, you wanna find the right mix there. Personally for me, I ended up fucking up plenty of chats due to flirting too much too fast, and it doesn't show more of my personality, or I'm not really being that engaging. But with just basic flirting skills that's enough to land a hot girlfriend eventually by running the numbers. You also wanna keep some momentum and not break it. This idea of not showing too much attention is bullshit, there is just the right amount, the ideal would be to make her feel so hooked in the conversation, that not desiring a chat in person during lunch time would seem like she's shooting herself in the feet, specially even during her bad days. Like you mention, about how sometimes we might isolate ourselves and only make matters worst, whatever, come up with some story or insight about as if you were here, matching her vibes, and giving her "insights" through your own insights about yourself (doesn't have to be your real stuff). That shows a side that might make her compelled to open up. At the same time you sprinkle "me and you" frame there with it. There is sort of some balance there, you sort of get more permission to keep flirting the more you equilibrate that with some engagement value.

I'd bet it's actually not their fluids. it's just regular cat piss... 😡

Breeding ground for crazy new age madness. Like quantum law of attraction BS, or people putting actual radioactive materials in new age wearables, or being anti-electromagnetic spectrum "5G makes gives me hashes".

I did none of it properly for my whole life. I'm 27. It's definably possible to put yourself in some weird mental position that not satisfying your thirst for the feminine will fuck up with your self-esteem and mental health and will drain your energy that, ironically, you would use to "focus at your finances". I let status quo waste years and THOUSANDS of hours of lost opportunity for sticking with some shitty long-distance relationships because of some low self-esteem leading me to commit and let some bipolar women drain my mental energy and self-esteem slowly. I had sex only once, despite spending hundreds of hours chatting with some long-distance chicks. (worst part isn't the time itself, but it becoming a steady source of random distraction in your life) Definitely you MUST know how to recharge your energy without nobody, as long as the condition of you not freaking out is met. Otherwise, you will end up doing dating in shitty unconscious ways like if some woman happens to appear in your life, because you lost the mental skill of doing dating at your own pace, you might end up putting up with her energy drain... Or not having what you want will drain you regardless. It's damned if you do, damned if you don't situation. Regardless, we need to address the craving somehow, transcend it whatever if you're a monk-like being. It's all a matter of management of emotional energy, the time required for dating isn't even that great if you lock-in in a good dating routine that works for you. Imagine how much time we spend a hermit, actually not even growing, just there in some dark corner gooning or doing some other random high-dopamine crap as a counter-reaction of the crippling anxiety of just starting some important inner or outer work. Each of us require different levels of different kinds of stimulation, only you will know what kind of balance works for you. Some of us are so fucked that even if they landed a 10/10 wholesome wife-for-life or had an entire harem, they couldn't fill the void inside of them and some hard-drug overdose would be their fate. Their brains are absolutely wrecked. But on the other end of the spectrum we have monk-like people that would live in a literal cave just fine, and they actually thrive in that solitude, because they wired their brain to get MORE PLEASURE from just attention itself to some meditation object. In general, the more energizing things you got in your life that makes you stimulated at the right measure, the less you will freak out about not having some specific kind. That's why people with nice wholesome connections with friends and family will not become drug junkies. The opposite of addiction is connection. --- Personally, I crave really hard having a wholesome monogamous relationship with a pretty-enough girl. That is built into my psyche so hard, I can't escape from it. It's fucking suffering at times when it surfaces to my mind, and turns into a low-self-esteem filled gooning period. If I had money and I did throw out of the window the idea of a relationship, it would turn into chasing women for sex disregarding my other emotional needs. ---

This has more value than what you bought. Don't do what they say. Do what they do. Here is the summary:
