In his words.

Trust is the make or break for every company online now.Attention is passive. Intent is directional.You can't guarantee virality. You can engineer shareability.We don't chase likes and reach. We chase signals.Stop selling the work. The work is nearly free now. Sell the call only you would have made.Use AI ruthlessly on the work only machines should do. Protect the time for the rest.Decision paralysis is the bug. The wrong decision beats indecision.Maintain headcount. Increase output.
Build the system that runs the boring part.A like is noise. A quiet buyer is the signal.Fandom is fostered, not forced.You're not being spied on. You're being forecast.Document the decision, not just the outcome.The org chart isn't departments anymore. It's agents managing agents.Your most valuable followers never say a word. They just buy.
