A reflection on my first experience of being sold inside this community within minutes of joining. I want to share something candid with the AI Advantage community. This week, for the first time inside this space, I experienced being sold to. Not informed.Not invited into a conversation.Not helped to think. Sold to. And honestly… it made me sad. Not because selling is wrong.Not because people shouldn’t monetise their expertise.And certainly not because ambition is a problem. But because of how it was done. The Problem Isn’t Selling — It’s Hunting What I saw wasn’t value-led leadership. It was hunting. Quick DMs.Urgency without context.Offers without understanding—pressure without permission. That style doesn’t build businesses. It builds resistance. Yes, the admins are on it. I know that. This isn’t a criticism of moderation. It's a reflection for all of us. Because communities like this are fragile ecosystems. And ecosystems don’t thrive when everyone is running around with a spear. Farming Always Wins (Eventually) The best businesses I’ve ever built — and helped others build — were grown, not chased. They were farmed. Farming looks like: - Showing up consistently - Teaching without expectation - Helping people think better - Letting trust compound - Playing the long game Farmers don’t panic about today’s harvest. They focus on soil quality. Hunters focus on the next kill. Farmers focus on sustainability. One burns bridges. The other builds empires. A Gentle Call-In (Not a Call-Out) If you’re here trying to sell something, hear this with respect: You don’t need to ambush people. People don’t need to force urgency. You don’t need to extract value on first contact. If your work is good, if your thinking is clear, if your intent is genuinely to help… Trust the process. Serve first. Contribute visibly. Build reputation quietly. The right people will come to you — and they’ll come ready. Let’s Protect the Culture AI Advantage has the potential to be a rare thing:A thinking space.A learning space.A trust-based space.

Replit announced integration with ChatGPT and Fast Mode cheaper building options. Mocha's made some good improvements too. Some folks love Lovable, sorry for the pun. Others are attached to Bolt. (couldn't help that one). And some others, with more of a programming background swear by curser! lol Whatever you build with, I say, build it with love. Love what you do. Have fun with it. Innovate. Explore. Experiment. Test things. Share things just to share them. And while I'm giving totally unsolicited advice, (ignore it if you want to), its great to help other vibe builders try, improve and succeed with what they're building. What are you building?

Hi everyone, good morning from the LA area. I want to ask thus community, what do you guys know and think a out peptides? 🤍❤️

You’re only as happy as your unhappiest child. If you’re a parent, you instantly get it. What surprised me is how often this shows up in business and life too. You can have 90% of things going right…and your mind still locks onto the one thing that feels off. The conversation you’re avoiding. The decision you keep delaying. The loose end you keep telling yourself you’ll deal with “later.” And the tricky part is this…That unresolved piece doesn’t stay contained. It fractures your focus. Clouds your judgment. Quietly drains energy from what is working. Sometimes it even follows you home. Here’s the shift that actually changes things: Find the constraint. Face it. Fix it. Because when your mind isn’t busy avoiding something, it finally has the bandwidth to amplify what’s already going right. So I’m curious…What’s the one thing you’ve been tolerating that’s quietly taxing everything else? Drop it below if you’re open to sharing.
