Two Truths One Lie: The Truth Comes Out 🎹πŸͺ„
The results are in. Time to reveal your truths everyone!!! Yesterday we played Two Truths and One Lie and I said the winner gets 3 months of premium free. All of your stories we're INSANE and I had way too much fun watching everyone guess. Alright, my turn to come clean, I said: 1. I got into Y Combinator on my first try 2. I've played piano for more than 5 years 3. I ran into Jared Leto twice at two different coffee shops on two different days in LA The lie was... number ONE. I got into Y-Combinator on my second try. But I was surprised at how many of you chose number 2. I've played piano since I was about 16. I've attached a video of me playing piano below. I'm self-taught though so I'm rarely flawless at it. Here's the story behind the lie: We did not get into Y Combinator the first time. We got the interview, which they say is harder to get into than Harvard with less than a 1% acceptance rate. But during that interview, we got drilled. It felt like we got chewed up and spat out. I remember my co-founder and I crying on the drive home. πŸ˜ͺ But honestly? That rejection changed everything. It forced us to rethink our entire business. We went back the next year with a completely new vision. Took all of our learnings. And we got accepted. πŸŽ“ Sometimes the no is the setup for a bigger yes. Now it's your turn. REVEAL YOUR TRUTHS BELOW OR ON THE ORIGINAL THREAD. I'll tally everything up and announce the winner by the end of the week. I also have to say, this might have been one of my favorite posts ever! Reading through everyone's had me laughing, confused, and genuinely impressed. Some of these stories are WILD. A monkey judging your snacks and throwing the healthy ones at your head? Driving an 18-wheeler with a 53-foot trailer? Dying on December 15, 2025?! (Barbara, I have questions haha) I didn't realize the depth of everyone's past in this group. Everyone has such interesting stories. I'm excited to find out which ones are true!

Anyone have recommendations for Social Listening Platform or Workflow?
Hey everyone β€” quick question for the group. I’m researching social listening / discussion monitoring tools that can scan social platforms and forums (Reddit, business forums, comments, etc.) for specific topics and keywords, not just brand mentions. Specifically looking for tools that are: - Affordable for small teams - Good at surfacing actual discussions (questions, concerns, legal issues, etc.) - Strong with Reddit, forums, and long-tail conversations - Less focused on vanity metrics, more on real intent If you’ve used or evaluated anything like this (paid or free), I’d love to hear what’s worked well for you β€” or what to avoid. Thanks in advance πŸ™

@David Iya I will definitely check that out. I am looking to scrape things like reddit groups, facebook groups, forums, ect for specific phrase or keyword. One of our newest features inside of Clarky is an AI website builder that interviews the business owner if they don't have a website and builds the site in a matter of a couple minutes and if they already have a site we can scrape the content and build a mobile optimized ADA compliant site with their existing pages and content in minutes. What I am looking for is people searching about ADA compliant websites.... sounds strange but there is a HUGE surge in lawsuits against people with non compliant websites and I was shocked to find out that 88% of small business websites are not compliant. Big opportunity in this space though for sure.

@Mike Holownych I looked at Brand 24 and Mention and both of them were like $500 a month. Not willing to spend that until I can prove out that there is enough volume of business owners searching for this topic. I appreciate your input on this, from what I have read you are spot on with the native search and google alerts as a reliable option just unfortunately requires manually doing it.
What Was Your First Job? πŸ’Ό
I love hearing people's first jobs. Usually, it's so far from where they are now. Sometimes it caused a pivot in their life. Sometimes it was the beginning of a new adventure. What was your very first job? Or first few? And here's the real question: What did your first few jobs teach you that you still use today? Mine was at Hollister folding clothes and pretending the dimly lit store wasn't making me nauseous from the cologne. After that, since I was living in Florida, I became a pool boy, which sounds way cooler than it was. Mostly just long days in the Florida heat - skimming, scrubbing, hauling chlorine buckets, and hoping I didn't get another sunburn. (yes, I can get sunburnt lol) I also worked in the actual pool supply store filling up chlorine jugs, and I bleached more pairs of shoes than I can count. Looking back, as unglamorous as they were. I learned more from those jobs than I realized at the time. For me? Mine taught me patience, and attention to detail. How to read people and adjust based on who I'm talking to. And honestly, just to show up and be my best self no matter what the job is. Those early jobs definitely boosted my EQ in ways I didn't realize until years later. Drop your first job below and what it taught you.πŸ‘‡ And let's make this fun; scroll through the comments and find a few people who had the same job as you, or learned something similar, or maybe just a few interesting stories that resonates with you. πŸ«‚

My first business actually came before my first job. When I was a kid we had a Sams club membership and I would go with my parents on Sunday (to get the free samples IYKYK) and buy in bulk Crybabies and Nuclear Warheads. I would sell them to kids in my class, buy wholesale sell retail! First time experiencing exterior factors that could shut your business down…in this case the teachers lol. But it was fun while it lasted. My first job I worked at the mall in Auburn, Alabama and was the esteemed carousel operator. A highly skilled job that taught me everything I know about starting a SAAS Ai company.
