Gemini 2.5 PRO inside of Google AI Studio is my favourite alongside my system prompt. It has a extremely large context window. NotebookLM I use all the type to Summarize and transcribe videos and audio notes I make. I like using ChatGPT as Bing/Microsoft Copilot, I felt like I never hit any rate limits there like ChatGPT from OpenAI.com. I don't like to use any AIs with any kind of rate limits, it's anti-climatic.

Of course not. I was comparing the quality of their educational content. Comparing Owen to Hormozi is not possible. But Tai Lopez to Hormozi is, and Tai is obviously lazy as an educator. But when it comes to how I wanna live? I have a hard stop at spending the purchasing power of today's worth of 20k USD/Mo for my personal life in terms of luxury even, and securing that wealth until I'm dead so 20k * 100 years (just to be cautious with the math, excluding black swan events such as nuclear wars, etc, it can be much less if someone is optimistic about market growth and inflation), that's my hard stop for personal use. So it's 24 million dollars total at worst, 0% effective growth of a passive investment portfolio just with above inflation let's say, 24 million is the number for me, anything past that is ludicrous and it's done for some mega project not for my personal enjoyment. I'm sure even Owen is already past that (the poorest of the 3 of them), like, is he spending more than 20k monthly? That's plenty of luxury. But I think, realistically, just 3~5 million would last me a lifetime at 5k/Mo expenses, and that would still be some serious level of luxury if I kept living in Brazil for example in a nice neighbourhood, or just go after an European citizenship of some nice and warm Mediterranean romance language country, since my native language is Portuguese and like it there. And just chill living off AirBnbs while getting laid and focusing on personal inner growth, maybe having a light project on the side like a YouTube channel or writing some books, or whatever while I enjoy the company of a 8/10 chick.

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.

He says it starting at 32:00

Just keep your phone until it becomes actually bad, also the more you wait the better will be the replacement. Instead of an iPhone 17, you will get the iPhone 19. But just keep in mind how long will the software support of your phone will last and when the apps you use will stop working because of that.

He has an OF, he shows the nakedness of his soul there, not of the body.

@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.
