Rand Fishkin is the founder and former CEO of Moz, a leading SEO software for marketers created in 2007 that grew out of the active followers of Rand's popular SEOmoz blog. Moz grew quickly to over $30 million in revenue by 2013, having raised $30 million in venture capital investment. When growth slowed in 2014, the company faced many internal difficulties and Rand dealt with mental health challenges, causing him to step down as CEO. Rand left Moz in 2018 and later that year published his popular book about his difficult startup journey, “Lost and Founder: A Painfully Honest Field Guide to the Startup World.” He described in detail the growth of Moz and the exciting growth years, but he also revealed the painful challenges he and the company faced in their later years. In this podcast discussion, he is frank about the pitfalls and brutal realities of big VC funding for founders and the companies they created.  Rand created his second software company, SparkToro, in 2018 with an approach that was opposite to the funding, growth, and staffing he used at Moz. We discuss the benefits of practical funding and sustainable profits to create healthy software businesses that support the goals of founders, employees, customers, and investors.

We are all in agreement that my superpower is the ability to see the big picture, and I end up working on these big problems with big solutions.Mona DeFrawi is a visionary entrepreneur with a high-impact track record, making history with her fourth startup. She describes Radivision as the “ESPN for entrepreneurship.”“It's more than time for an entire network to focus on the genre of entrepreneurship, and Radivision for the radical visionaries is here to help support the growth of this community and for everyone to understand and participate in the new economy,” she says.Mona has a grand vision for the network and sees it covering all aspects of the industry. She is working deliberately to keep impact at the center of her work with communities called SHEconomics for women-led companies, and Black Is the New Green for African American-led companies. She explains her vision for those communities, saying:We're also building communities like SHEeconomics for women founders. We've also started a show and are curating a community for Black is the New Green for Black founders so that more voices are heard, more innovation can come to market, more role models are available so people can see others who are just like them, who are succeeding and finding ways despite a lot of the hurdles that are currently in today's entrepreneurial economy.What makes Mona unique is her ability to see the big picture in a genuinely visionary way; she's the sort of person who can see the enormous gap that needs to be filled and then fill it.AI Episode Summary* Mona DeFrawi is the CEO and founder of Radivision, a platform aiming to be the Discovery Channel for entrepreneurs.* The platform provides curated content and resources for entrepreneurs, including original series, newsletters, books, and podcasts.* Radivision is building communities for women founders (SHEeconomics) and black founders (Black is the New Green) to provide more support and representation in entrepreneurship.* They are planning a live conference during Women's History Month in March 2024, featuring female founders, investors, and 100 companies in the Pitch Planet series.* Radivision aims to be a platform connecting entrepreneurs, investors, and crowdfunding platforms, helping them find the best opportunities that fit their interests.* Mona's superpower is the ability to see the big picture and come up with big solutions to problems facing the venture industry.* She has successfully created solutions for the IPO crisis and private markets and now aims to do the same with Radivision.* Mona has a unique perspective as an immigrant, questioning rules and thinking outside the box.* She believes there is a need for change in the venture industry and is motivated to make a difference.* To learn more about Mona and Radivision, visit Radivision.com and MonaDeFrawi.com or connect with her on LinkedIn.How to Develop Seeing the Big Picture As a SuperpowerAs I've gotten to know Mona over the past few years, collaborating on SuperCrowd events and chatting for this show, it has become crystal clear that she does have a unique ability to see the big picture. She's one of those people. The rest of us operate in the world they create.For instance, she shared a powerful example of her credibility around this topic. As the global economy slid into a recession in 2007, big venture capitalists called on her to organize an event that would bring the venture community back to life, creating a path for initial public offerings (IPOs). The event was a big success.With that said, it feels particularly urgent for us to learn how to better emulate her ability to see what is generally invisible–to see what isn't there so we can create it.Mona offered two essential tips:First, she says, “Get out of yourself, like, get out of those sides of the box and think about it differently to get the big picture.”Second, she offers a profound insight: you make the rules! She explains:I was, you know, a political refugee at age six and lived in several different countries for over a year before my parents made it to the United States. So, I had to learn different languages. During that very critical year, between ages six and seven, I learned that there are no rules. When the Egyptian government told my father, “No, you can't leave the country,” he found a way. That's part of being an entrepreneur, realizing that you're making the rules.By following Mona's example and advice, you can expand your vision and improve your ability to see the big picture. With practice, you may develop it as a new superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Guest ProfileMona DeFrawi (she/her):CEO & Founder, Radivision, Inc.About Radivision, Inc.: Radivision is the premier streaming network for the Startup World – like an "ESPN for Entrepreneurship" – that entertains, informs, and connects viewers to amazing startups, founders, investors, and their investment and other opportunities.

In this segment of the Start Thinking Forward podcast, we have the pleasure of interviewing Dr. Todd and Kim Saxon from Indiana University. These esteemed guests bring a wealth of knowledge and experience in advising startups and entrepreneurship, making them the perfect experts to shed light on the challenges and strategies for success in the startup world.We kick off the conversation by highlighting their passion for educating entrepreneurs and preparing them for the obstacles they may face along their journey. Dr. Todd and Kim emphasize the critical phases that startups go through, which we outline as pre-revenue, minimal viable product, replicable product, and scaling. Understanding these phases is key to achieving long-term success.One important takeaway from our discussion is that success as an entrepreneur is not limited to raising venture capital or going through all four stages. Being self-employed and creating jobs for others is also a meaningful and valuable achievement. We also delve into the three P's: punt, pivot, and proceed, which are essential considerations as entrepreneurs navigate through the different stages. Thoughtful decision-making is crucial to make the most of the opportunities and challenges that arise.Moving on, we dive into the concept of a lean startup versus traditional business plans. We stress the importance of formulating hypotheses, conducting thorough tests, and avoiding careless assumptions. We draw examples from startups that failed to gather market feedback and adjust their strategies accordingly, leading to their downfall. The need for startups to adapt and attract their target audience is emphasized throughout the conversation.Furthermore, we explore the concept of hidden liabilities and debts that startups often overlook, likening them to the hidden dangers faced by the Titanic. These mistakes, or "icebergs," can have serious consequences. To help entrepreneurs navigate these treacherous waters, we share 32 common mistakes that entrepreneurs should avoid. Hard work and equity earned through efforts are underscored as essential ingredients for success.Next, we address the challenges of being the first in the market and stress the importance of having a profitable mission. We discuss various revenue generation strategies and the significance of considering customer preferences and market dynamics when choosing a business model. Continuous experimentation and learning based on customer feedback play a crucial role in staying ahead of the curve.Throughout the conversation, we emphasize the value of setting milestones, resisting the temptation to cut corners, and prioritizing customer needs and desires. We also touch on the importance of personal relationships, support from partners and family members, and the imperative of taking action and creating opportunities.As we wrap up the conversation, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to Dr. Todd and Kim Saxon for sharing their insights and expertise. We encourage our listeners to go back and rewatch the episode, take notes, purchase their book, and visit their website for further guidance. We sign off by reminding everyone to always start thinking forward, innovate fearlessly, and push the boundaries of what is possible in the world of entrepreneurship.

On this episode of the DealQuest Podcast, I'm excited to bring you a renaissance man of SaaS finance and accounting – Antony Nitsos. With an impressive and diverse background in manufacturing process improvement, large-scale ERP implementations, and controllership of a Japanese company (which achieved a remarkable 10x revenue growth in just three years), Antony's expertise is unparalleled. Antony serves as a fractional CFO for numerous SaaS startups, contributing to two unicorn exits. As founder of SaaS Gurus, Antony and his team specialize in automating and optimizing every aspect of startups' finance and accounting operations, setting them up for rapid scaling, maximized cash flow, and valuation. SaaS Gurus really is a one-stop shop for all things SaaS finance and accounting. THE HARD START OF THE STARTUP WORLD The path to success in the startup world is filled with challenges, and one of the most critical hurdles is due diligence. For tech startups seeking venture backing or potential acquisitions, undergoing meticulous due diligence is inevitable. This process requires startups to demonstrate their financial health, growth potential, and operational efficiency.draws from his wealth of experience to highlight the intensity of due diligence, particularly when startups are acquired by public companies. Teams of experts scour every aspect of the business, leaving no stone unturned in their quest to identify potential risks or issues. As Antony explains, the due diligence process can be overwhelming, especially for startups seeking funding in the B or C round, where significant investment amounts are involved. Antony emphasizes the concept of "highest and best use" in a startup context. Founders and CEOs must channel their time and energy into areas where they excel and add the most value to the company. By zeroing in on their special sauce, they can drive growth and innovation, leaving other tasks to capable team members or automating processes. THE HIDDEN POWER OF BACKEND OPERATIONS There is a profound impact that efficient backend operations have on a startup's ability to get deals done, which include securing favorable valuations, and attracting potential investors. While founders and CEOs concentrate on core competencies and sales growth, they often underestimate the power of seamless backend processes in driving value and attracting interest from stakeholders. But there can be pitfalls to look out for. Many startups encounter backend challenges that can hinder growth and lead to deal breakdowns during due diligence. By proactively addressing issues such as cash flow management, insurance planning, and data integration, startups can build a strong foundation for success and avoid unnecessary complications down the road. By prioritizing financial planning, efficient operations, and strategic decision-making, founders can create a solid foundation for long-term success, attracting investors and potential partners to the table. SaaS Gurus' expertise in this realm has garnered them a well-deserved reputation as trusted advisors in the tech startup ecosystem. As startup founders and CEOs embrace the deal-making mindset and seek expert guidance, they will undoubtedly unlock the full potential of their ventures and pave the way for a successful and fulfilling entrepreneurial journey.

Today, we unravel some of the most intriguing stories from around the globe, starting with the shocking discovery at Martha's Vineyard – a man found dead on Obama's estate. The twist? He's not just any man, but Obama's personal chef, who had a long-standing relationship with the former president. From there, we move into the realm of ideas with Yuval Noah Harari, renowned author of 'Sapiens' and 'Homo Deus', who recently appeared on Lex Friedman's podcast. We delve into Harari's insightful opinions on global cabals, fascism, communism, and their unique relation to our movie preferences. As we continue, we explore the futuristic vision of Sam Altman, founder of OpenAI, who proposes paying people cryptocurrency just for being human. But what are the implications of such a plan, and why does it involve scanning our eyes? Lastly, we head over to Russia, where Putin has just signed a controversial law banning sex changes. Tune in for a deep-dive into these captivating topics, offering you insights, discussions, and a fresh perspective on current events.

Hello, beautiful people and welcome to the Adams Archive. My name is Austin Adams, and thank you so much for listening today on today's agenda. Is going to start with a wild story coming out of Martha's Vineyard. Allegedly, there was a man found dead on the Obama estate, identified as Obama's personal chef. And it's not just like this man had no ties to him other than cooking his meals. Obama literally recruited this guy from owning a five star Michelin, uh, restaurant in Chicago. Basically when he went into the White House. So it was a longstanding relationship to the point where this man was paddle boarding in the middle of the night on his property. So that's the first thing that we'll discuss. After that, we will jump into. A interesting conversation that came out of Lex Friedman's podcast with Yuval, uh, Yuval Noah Harra. He's the author of Sapiens and Homo Dose, or however you pronounce that, um, but very, very well known author who went on to the Lex Friedman podcast and talked about a few things that were interesting, including. Why in the world would anybody think that there is a global cabal who owns all of the corporations and has massive amounts of influence? Why would they ever think that? And then secondly, a, an opinion that he had regarding, um, the difference between fascism and communism and movie preferences, which I found to be interesting and timely with some of the more recent movies that we've had come out, which indicates to me which one we're leaning more towards. Hmm. So we'll discuss that. After that, we will move into open AI founder Sam Altman, to pay people cryptocurrency for simply being human. Apparently, uh, what seems like a big push towards a global digital currency and starting with the founder of OpenAI who says that we need to do this so that we'll eventually be able to differentiate between robots and artificial intelligence. And he wants to scan your eyes to do it and he'll give you money just to do so. How interesting. And then last but not least, we will jump into Putin signing a law banning. Sex changes in Russia. Alright, so all of that and more. So stick around. We're gonna have some fun today. And there it's all right. So all of that and more stick around.

Um, all of the articles we discussed will be tagged in there for you. So, Head over there. Austin Adams, do sub stack.com. All right, and that's what I got for you. Let's jump into it. The Adams archive. All right, so the very first article today. Now as a reminder, if you head over to the YouTube channel, we actually had something happen last episode. I've been kind of working through the different technologies of the, you know, new setup that I have here. So last episode, some of the clips that I played, I guess didn't carry over into the podcast, so I fully understand that. Um, It'll be better this time. Everything will be included. You'll be able to follow along on the clips and actually hear it. This time, my apologies will not happen again, I promise. Okay. And if you head over to the YouTube, you're able to be able to yield it. You'll be able to follow along with me as I'm watching these clips. Um, so have a head over to the YouTube, um, the Adams Archive. You can actually find all of my links. Everything so you can follow. Watch the videos, you know, you can head over to the sub stack is the easiest way. Or go to link tree.com/the Austin Jadas. Also my social media handle. Alright now. The very first article coming from the post-Millennial, which says that there was a man found on Obama's property dead, who's been identified as his personal chef. And as I mentioned earlier about this is not like just some random guy who runs a food truck outside of his house. This is a guy that he. He frequented this man's restaurant in Chicago. He's a five star Michelin chef and frequented his restaurant for a very long time. Now, when he became president, he handpicked him to be the White House personal chef, in which I believe at some point will read more In this article, he actually declined because he'd have to actually leave his restaurant to do so, but eventually, uh, became the sous chef. Uh, at his estate. So let's read this article. It says, the 43 year old man who drowned while paddleboarding off of the Edgar Town coast of Martha's Vineyard on Sunday has been identified as none other than the personal chef of a Barack and Michelle Obama. Tafari Campbell was a White House chef before be, uh, coming on. In the personal employee of the Obamas, after President Obama left office in 2017, divers recovered his body just before 10:00 AM from Edgartown Great pond on which the Obama family's $12 million. Mansion lies dun, dun, dun, Massachusetts State Police said Campbell was from EYs, Virginia. And was Viding visiting Martha's Vineyard at the time of his passing President, uh, and Mrs. Obama were not president at the residence at the time of the accident. The Chicago Sun Times reported in the statement the Obama's praise Campbell saying that Tafari was a beloved part of our family. When he first, we first met him, he was a talented sous chef at the White House. Creative and passionate about food and its ability to bring people together. In the years that followed, we got to know him as a warm, fun, extraordinarily kind person who made all of our lives a little brighter. So apparently a little bit different than what I said. I. That's why when we were getting ready to leave the White House, we asked Ari to stay with us, and he generously agreed. He's been part of our lives ever since, and our hearts are broken, that he's gone today. He joins everyone who knew, or today we join everyone who knew and loved Ari, especially his wife, Charice and their twin boys, Xavier, and in grieving the loss of a truly wonderful man. Very tragic. It says The Obama's multimillion dollar vacation estate on Martha's Vineyard saw a massive response from emergency responders when accounts emerged of a man dressed in black without a life preserver paddle boarding off the coast. He was seen to be struggling. Another paddle boarder had been with the male at the time and saw him go under the water. The recovery was made around a hundred feet from shore. Where water was around eight feet in depth. Wow. Numerous agencies responded, including Edgartown Fire and all Island fire departments, local police, state police, patrol's, air wing, and detectives. The Dukes County Sheriff's Department and the Coast Guard all responded to this. And I'll actually pull up the article so you can see what I'm looking at here. All right, so, um, the original car article coming from the post-Millennial and we're looking at some comments here from rt.com, um, which is an interesting, uh, source, which I found some other articles relating to President, uh, Vladimir Putin, uh, having the. Ban on sex changes. So I found this article there and there was actually some interesting comments. So it says in the comments section here, so no potential validity to this whatsoever, but it says, oh dear, the chef with access to lots of privileged information who couldn't swim, suddenly takes up paddle boarding and goes and drowns at night in the pitch black. Hmm. Nothing to see here. Nothing at all. Another person, uh, said nothing to be happy about when someone drowns for sure. Uh, fortunately world leaders realize it's such a real danger to us, uh, cattle that oligarchs worldwide are buying up ocean front properties to save us plebes from drowning as the oceans rise, Greta is proud of their sacrifice. Uh, now the next person said who paddle boarded him on his head. Hmm. So, so this is where it gets interesting, right? It's like, what is the percentage likelihood that somebody dies on your property now, what is the percentage likelihood that you were president and then somebody suddenly randomly dies on your property in a very weird, a mysterious way? Hmm. So those are questions you have to ask yourself is what is the percentage likelihood that this happened? Why potentially could this have happened? Maybe it was a freak accident. Maybe he was paddle boarding. But honestly, if you're with somebody else and you're in eight foot water, how does something like this happen? How? How do you not pull that person out? How are you not there to help? You know, I just picture the Titanic where the, this guy's on this big, huge, long board and for some reason she just won't get off of the wood to allow this man back up. It just seems bizarre to me. Somebody else said, Somebody else said someone saw, someone saw Michelle's paddle and then mysteriously went away, right? So there's this whole conspiracy around Michelle being a man and also Barack being gay. So not sure what that has to do with it, but interesting comment nonetheless. Somebody else commented that maybe this is a part of the chef who had $65,000 worth of hot dogs and pizza brought to the White House during his presidency, which was a bizarre leak from the emails from the Hillary Clinton campaign. Can't imagine that this man knew anything that he shouldn't have known and, and had he that anything wrong would happen to him whatsoever. Couldn't imagine that. But mysterious and wild, and obviously our hearts go out to this individual. It's sad, it's terrible. You never want to hear of that, especially when there's children involved. But it's a little fishy. Just a little fishy. Alright, so the next article comes from the infamous infowars, which says, transhumanist World Economic Forum Advisor, Yuval Harri dismisses the New World Order as Nonsense and Fantasy. You know, the new World order that has been claimed to be a thing by. Claus Schwab himself and Joe Biden. There's been several speeches where both of them use that term specifically, and all of a sudden, this World Economic Forum advisor who's been at the Bilderberg meetings, who's been at, you know, in Switzerland during all of these billionaires flying in on their jets to yell at you about flying economy once a year when you can afford a vacation. Let's see what it has to say. It says, world Economic Forum Advisor Yuval Noah Harri shot down the notion of an elite global cabal working together to achieve a new world order, panning it as nonsense and fantasy. Harari, one of the key architects behind the World Economic Forum's. Great reset. Made an appearance on the Lex Friedman podcast last Monday to cast doubt on the new World orders conspiracy theory. Claiming the world is too complex for powerful individuals to map out a global agenda, which will actually frame for us quite perfectly the next episode that we're. Going to be filming, which is about a document called Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars, which was a document outlined, allegedly picked up out of a copier machine from that was at a surplus store that somebody purchased. They found this top secret document called Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars, and you should look it up. It's a wildly bizarre document that outlines the exact plan that we've se seen unfold over the last 70 years. This was document was supposedly brought to light at the first Bilderberg meeting and formulated by the rothchilds where it outlined exactly mathematically how to socially. Engineer society so that you can have a elite class and you can have the absolute pinnacle and then have legal slavery of the rest of basically the entire world by manipulating financial unions. So we'll actually dive into all of this in the very next episode. So you should absolutely listen to that episode, which I will have out tomorrow for you. But, You can't, can't get it unless you subscribe. So do that. All right. Um, so it says the global cabal theory has many variations, but basically there's a small group of people. Well, let's him, let's let him say it. Here you go. Cabal theory. It has many variations, but basically there is a small group of people, a small cabal that secretly controls everything that is happening in the world. All the wars, all the revolutions, all the epidemics, everything that is happening is controlled by this very small group of people who are of course evil and have bad intentions. And this is, this is a, a very well known story, that it's not new, it's been there for thousands of years. It's very attractive. Uh, because first of all, it's simple. You don't, you don't have to understand everything that happens in the world. You just need to understand one thing. The war in Ukraine, the Israeli Palestinian conflict, five G technology, c Ovid, 19. It's simple. There is this global cabal. They do all, all of it. And also it enables you, uh, to shift all the responsibility to all the bad things that is, that are happening in the world to this small cabal. It's the Jews, it's the free meso. It's not us. And also it creates, it, it, it creates this fantasy, utopian fantasy. If we only get rid of the small cabal. We solved all the problems of the world, salvation, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the war in Ukraine, the epidemics, poverty, everything is solved just by knocking out this small cabal. So, and it's simple, it's attractive, and this is why so many people believe it. Um, it's, again, it's not new. Nazism was exactly this. Nazism began as a conspiracy theory. We don't call Nazism a conspiracy theory because Oh, it's a big thing. It's an ideology. But if you look at it, it's a conspiracy theory. The basic Nazi idea was the Jews control the world. Get rid of the Jews. You solved all the world's problems. Now, the interesting thing about these kind of, of theories, again, they tell you that even things that look to be the opposite of each other, actually they are part of the conspiracy. So in the case of Nazism, the Nazis told people, you know,   This is what the Jews want you to think. Actually, the Jews control both communism. Rodsky Marx or Jews, blah, blah, blah. And capitalism Roth, the Rothschild, the Wall Street, it's all controlled by the Jews. So the Jews are fooling everybody, but actually the communists and the capitalists are part of the same global cabal. And again, this is very attractive because, ah, now I understand everything and I also know what to do. I just give P to Hitler. He gets rid of the Jews. I solved all the problems of the world. Now as a historian. The most important thing I can say about these theories, they are never right, because the global cabal theory says two things. First, everything is controlled by a very small number of people. Secondly, these people hide themselves. They do it in secret. Now, both things are nonsense. It's impossible for people to control a small group of people to control and predict everything because the world is too complicated. You know, you look at a real world conspiracy. And so what we're gonna see from this is how ridiculous these statements are. When you look at the way that this document that I'm gonna read to you in the next episode lays out is he's right. It is a very complex world filled with complex people in complex situations, but when you can simplify the inputs, And simplify the way that the herd moves and thinks. And with a long-term strategy and enough financial backing and enough data analyzation, you can accurately predict the way that people will respond to certain things, allowing you to both profit and manipulate people. Literally perfectly laid out in this document that I'm gonna discuss here in the next episode. So maybe even I'll play a clip of this then, but let's listen and, and, and just to say that, oh, it's so ridiculous that a small group of people could control the mass. What has been humanity's like, especially from somebody who wrote the book Sapiens, like you would think that he would understand that a small group of people has. Always been in power over the large masses since ancient Egypt. Since Rome, since there's always been slaves and there's been oligarchs. The oligarchs being a small minority who control the vast majority of people through monetary policies, through law, through government, through uh, through war, through all of these things. Through education systems. We're gonna break all that down. But let's, let's listen to this guy finish, which makes me a little sad. I have Sapiens and his second book upstairs that I would love to read through. I still will, but to hear that he is this puppet for the World Economic Forum makes me a little bit sad. Let's, let's keep hearing him. Well, first is basically just a plan. Think about the American invasion of, of Iraq in 2003. You had the most powerful superpower in the world. With the biggest military, with the biggest intelligence services, with the most sophisticated, you know, the F B I and the c I a and all the agents, they invade, uh, third rate country, third rate power, Iraq. With this idea, we'll take over Iraq and we, we, we will control it. We'll make a new order in the Middle East and everything falls apart. Their plan completely backfires everything they hope to achieve. They achieve the opposite. America, United States is humiliated. Yeah, because the people who are. Who we're discussing when it comes to a global cabal do not have a flag behind them. They don't. They aren't under the guidelines of a country. They don't care which country wins or who loses. They care that they profit the entire way. I. It's not about a country. It's about an, an a, a organized grouping of, of banking cartels who inflate and deflate the economy of different countries and then invest in the very corporations that are going to thrive. Once they bomb, its, they caused the rise of isis. They wanted to take out terrorism. They created more terrorism. First of all, the big winner of the war was Iran. You mean the terrorists that we funded as the c i A and put into power? Both times that we both went in and left Afghanistan and Iraq. You know, the United States goes to war with all its power and gives Iran, uh, a victory on a silver plate. The Iranians don't need to do anything. The Americans are doing everything for them. Now this is real history. Real history is when you have a, not a small group of people, a lot of people with a lot of power, carefully planning something and it goes completely out of, uh, against their plan. And this we know from personal experience. Yeah, because you have people literally destabilizing nations like George Soros. We know this to be fact. He has literally talked about it, right? He's, he's destroyed entire country's economies overnight by like shorting their stocks and like, this is all intentional. It's a facade. I was trying to see if I could get, actually, get some of the, uh, any of the. Comments to this, but it doesn't look like it's allowed for them. So pretty wild. So what this led me to believe I had, I had somebody that came and talked to me about this. So let's, let's go ahead and read, uh, through some of the response here. It says, Hari's dismissal of a global cabal who tried to steer global events is particularly ironic. That's because Harari, a staunch transhumanism or transhumanist and social engineer secretly attended this year's closely guarded bilderberg meeting. Hmm. An annual conference compromised of the most powerful individuals across banking, finance, military, media, academia, and business. A cabal, if you will, that meet to discuss in secret the agenda of the world while the public and the press are forbidden to participate. And it actually cites that source showing that he was there. Um, great reset. Architect Yuval Harra arrives through the back door at Bilderberg as uninvited guests, and they have pictures of it here. Of him actually showing up at this conference an an official list of roughly 130 participants released The group on its website does not show RA's name. Considering his role as a leading author and philosopher in the transhumanist movement, his background questioning humanity's role in the future dominated by artificial intelligence and other advanced technologies could make him a valuable contributor to Berg's discussions surrounding ai. A topic listed on their agenda this year. Hmm. Very interesting. Alright, so let's see what else it has to say about this. It goes on to say that many of Hari's previous statements deeply undermine his argument that there is no new world order agenda. Hari's claimed in 2019 that this age of free will is over because AI will soon be jacked into our minds and control our hopes and dreams. Humans are now hackable animals. You know, the whole idea that humans have this soul or spirit and they have free will. So whatever I choose, whatever, whether in the election or whether in the supermarket, this is my free will. That's over free will he said. Notably his mentor, world Economic Forum. Claude Schwab co-authored the book Covid to 19, the Great Reset, which outlines how to use Covid to 19 to completely reset the global economy towards creating a more sustainable and equitable society by essentially de industrializing the developed world and implementing social credit score initiatives. Almost like it's an agenda by the global cabal aimed at imposing their vision of the future onto the world. Hmm. Who would imagine Harari is also exposed by his social engineering ambitions? By deliberating, deliberating how to rid the world of useless people as AI becomes more prevalent where he says, I think the biggest question, and maybe in economics and politics of the coming decades will be what to do with all these useless people. He said the problem is more boredom and how, how, what to do with them and how will they find some sense of meaning in life when they're basically meaningless. I. Worthless. My best guess at present is a combination of drugs and computer games. This is a solution for most. It's already happening. Fortunately, more and more people are waking up to the reality that the technocrats like Ferrari are trying to unilaterally, unilaterally determine humans' future. Almost like a cabal, like how ironic that he's the one to come out and say that against that when he was at the World Economic Forum meeting. Uh, very interesting. Alright, so, so this is something that I found that somebody brought to my attention. Uh, and they mentioned that he talks about, in the same interview with Lex Friedman, the difference in the way that. Communists and fascists look at media and look at movies particularly, which I found to be interesting in the application of the more recent discussion surrounding the sound of freedom and all of the weird things that happened surrounding that. So let's see what he has to say and we'll see how I can kind of attach this to what I'm thinking about here. So here we go. No, not in the best light. The same with beauty, you know, how does the fascist determine whether a movie is a good movie? Very simple. If it serves the interest of the nation, this is a good movie. If it's against the interest of the nation, this is a bad movie. End of story. Hmm. Liberalism says, no, there is a, a aesthetic values in the world. Uh, we should judge movies not just. On that question, whether they serve the national interest, but also on autistic value. Communists are a bit like the fascists instead that they don't place the nation at the main hero. They place class. As the main hero for them history. Again, it's not about individuals, it's not about nations. History is the clash between classes and just as fascists. Imagine in the end, only one nation will be on top. The communists think in the end, only one class should be on top, and that's the, the proletariat. And same story, the your a hundred percent of your loyalty should be to the class. Like if you, if there is a clash between class and family, class wins. Like in the Soviet Union, the party told children, if you hear your parents say something bad about Stalin, You have to report them. And there are many cases when children reported their parents and their parents were sent to the Gulag, like, and you know, your loyalty is to the party, to the, which leads the proletariat to victory in the historical struggle. Alright, so what he just said there, I find to be interesting. He said basically, That fascists only look at movies as valuable to the extent that they serve the country. So when you have a movie come out, like the Sound of Freedom, maybe. Where, I don't know. You see consistently over and over and over again, the fire alarms are getting pulled. They're spraying stuff to make it smell bad. The showings aren't happening, the air conditioning is off. The movie won't play how many times, how many videos. I know people personally in my family who went to go see the sound of freedom and the fire alarm was pulled. How many times did we see this happen? There's reels and reels and reels of videos on TikTok and on Instagram that show how many times it happened. So how much did the news media, how much backlash did the sound of freedom get for drawing attention to the most atrocious thing that is happening in humanity today? You wanna know why? Because it doesn't serve the fascist. Ideology. It doesn't serve the country. It actually hurts them because of how many people are in positions of power who participate in the very thing that this movie was calling out as terrible. That's why you have a media saying that you shouldn't go see this movie. That's why they tell you that you have brain worms if you go see it. That's why they call it a Q Anon conspiracy movie based in. Non-reality, right? Just like this guy tries to tell you about the global cabal that doesn't exist, where there's billionaires who get together every single year to decide how they're gonna socially engineer the slaves, you and I and the general public who don't have billions of dollars. That's a real thing. You know, just like the trafficking that was going on in the sound of freedom. So when it does not serve the country, when it does not serve the flag, then it has no value. That's exactly, exactly what we saw with the sound of freedom. It did not serve their ideology, it did not serve them as leaders. So BlackRock and Vanguard, the very people who, you know, are getting exposed from O M G, from James O'Keefe media for, you know, socially engineering, the, the entire country and wars and everything like that, where he came out and said, Ukraine, this war is good for business. And we know that just like we know, there's a small group of people who socially engineer the general public through education, through war, through industrialization, and, and distracting you with your jobs and taxes and not being able to get outta the rat race. So when he talks about this, how movies serve no purpose unless they serve the regime, unless they, they. Allow them to further their agenda. That's why you see it, and that's why every other movie that's come out that has a mainstream platform has some sort of indoctrination imposed in it, subconsciously at the very least, if not shoved directly down your throat. So thank you Yuval, for both proving to us that. The irony of somebody who goes to the World Economic Forum meetings telling us that there's no global cabal of elites who control and socially engineer the public, and then showing us exactly what was happening with the Sound of Freedom of me movie. Quite interesting, isn't it? Alright, the next topic that we're going to discuss here is going to be. We're gonna move on from that topic right there, and we're gonna move into Sam Altman, the Open AI founder of Chat. G p T now wants to pay people cryptocurrency for simply being human in what could turn into a digital identification system called World Coin, where they want to scan your iris to verify that you are actually human and you know, Pay you for it and then somehow turn this into a, uh, global digital identification project. So here we go. This article says, and again, you can join me, Adam's archive on YouTube. Sorry about that. This article says, OpenAI founder to pay people cryptocurrency for being human. The World Coin Global Digital ID Project has released a crypto token to entice people to fork over their biometrics, digital id verification. Startup World coin, which purports to distinguish real humans from AI by scanning their irises with a futuristic. Orb in storing their identities on the blockchain launched a crypto token by the same name on Monday. The project's website describes it as a digital currency received simply for being human, claiming it could drastically. Increase economic opportunity scale, a reliable solution for distinguishing humans from AI online while preserving privacy, enable global democratic processes, and eventually show a potential path to AI funded universal basic income. No thank you. Not I. Despite these goals, the World Coin Token usage appears to currently be limited to rewarding people for signing up to World Coin. This has not stopped major crypto exchanges from listing the coins such as Binance, K X Hu Obi, buy Bit and Gate were among the platforms that began offering their customers the ability to trade in. W L D On Monday, world coin, users must physically travel to a location where its iris scanning. Orb is present in order to obtain the equivalent of a global digital passport. The project's creator say that it will become necessary to distinguish humans from AI robots as the technology advances. You know, the guy advancing the technology wants to build a secondary technology to track you so that when he advances his technology, he can continue to track you. While some critics have panned the World Coin Ecosystem as a dystopian assault on privacy, built on exploitation of the poor co-founder, Alex Lanya told Reuters that blockchain storage was actually privacy preserving, and Altman has claimed it will actually fight incoming equality. The company has emphasized that biometric scans are more secure than providing personal information like phone numbers for proving one's identity. However, an investigation by M I T Technology Review found the onboarding process, collected significantly more personal data than World Coin publicly claims promising to encrypt and safely store it until it can be deleted without really releasing a white paper explaining how that will be done. The project's detractors include former Twitter, C E O, Jack Dorsey. Who tweeted at no time should a corporation or state own any part of the global financial system, a Monday in res uh, response to a launch tweet by the worldwide or World coin account. In a Twitter thread describing Wellcoin as a global financial and identity network based on proof of personhood. Altman claims that over 2 million people have already signed up to the project during its beta phase. This falls short of its early goals to bring 1 billion people by 2023. Altman acknowledged that AI technology has the potential to go quite wrong in testimony before the US Congress earlier this year, and even admitted he feared causing significant harm to the world through technology. Hmm. Let's look at some of the comments. When somebody says, Orwell's 1984 is coming to a country near you and yet many are asleep at the wheel. We all know what happens when somebody creates a new coin out of thin air. Hashtag ftx, uh, digital slavery, l o l. Um, what could possibly go wrong? Come on, man. It's safe and effective and once in his AI track and trace, 24 hours per day. The goal of these people all connected to Davos World Economic Forum, the un, the globalist, the C I a Mossad and the Banksters indeed make. Of internet, a prison planet, nothing else who is left of anonym. An anonymity and freedom on internet they intend to destroy. And of course, by using cryptos, hmm, somebody else said this is getting weird. Our new F B i, humans have to be transparent and tell the truth. AI is free to lie. Hmm. Interesting. Very interesting. Yeah. Nothing that I wanna be a part of. Right? Why? Why, why? What do we need this for? I barely think we should have a passport. I think you should be able to roam the world freely like it does. It doesn't belong to some weird global entity. Why in the world would I want to share? My biometric, I, I do not use face id and you shouldn't either. I do not use my thumbprint on my computer to open it. I don't use any of that technology. You wanna know why? Because eventually, and, and, and, and you have to ask the, for the convenience that anything like this gives you. Imagine the inconvenience is going to cost you later. On an individual level and on a full scale humanity level, right? Why in the world would they want this to begin with? Why do they need to do this? They need to do this because they want some way of tracking your every movement, and if they can pay you $300 a month so that they can take every piece of data that, that they can claim as your identity, as your personhood, to then determine further how they can socially engineer your actions. Moving forward, a la social credit scores, right, China, we're, we're getting pretty close. We're getting pretty damn close. And this is just another step towards that, which surprises me because Sam Altman didn't always, uh, Give me that type of feel. Um, I actually had a project that I was working on with a company that, uh, where we, and we, you know, I was a part of it, presented a business idea to Sam Altman. Sam Altman's was the creator of Y Combinator. Y Combinator being a startup, the, the leading forefront incubator for, uh, startups. Where you basically take your startup idea or you take a startup that you've started that is successful and take it to them and they, you know, kind of accelerate it and make you more profitable and teach you what you need to know and connect you with the right amount of people. You live in a house that's funded by them during this time that you, then you presented to all of these investors. So I actually went through some of that process with them to submit it and, and go be a part of that program at one certain point. So that was like four years ago, but, To, to hear now that Sam Altman is a part of something like this, I guess isn't as surprising after seeing OpenAI, but still just, just wild nonetheless how, how this world works. So it, and it's just gonna get weirder and weirder. Alright, the last article that we're gonna discuss, we'll come up in just a second, but first lemme tell you head over to the sub stack, Austin Adams dot sub stack.com. Subscribe. Leave a five star review. Head over to the Anti Elite Club. Anti Elite Club. You can check out some of the newer merch that is coming out over the next few weeks here. So keep checking back there. We have the Pelosi Capital Insider Trading hat. We have the Protect. Our children hoodie. We're gonna have some summer clothes coming out that's a little bit lighter than the hoodie stuff. But, uh, and then we have the Make Love Not Viruses sweater, which is a awesome tie dye sweater with a beautiful hippie looking flower on it. It's all really subtle. I, you know, when I did the anti league club, I didn't want it to be this in your face. A lot of conservative stuff is just not really tasteful and it's just super loud and rub your nose and that kind of stuff. So I wanted it all to be very subtle. But I also wanted to have some good messaging in there. So we'll be having an Act Conception shirt that comes out soon and a few other cool designs. So head over there, anti Elite Club and check it out. Alright, now next thing we're gonna talk about is Vladimir Putin signed a law stating that they will no longer allow any sex changes in Russia. Putin signed a law banning sex changes. In Russia, the legislation prohibits medical interventions linked to transitioning except when they are needed to treat birth abnormalities. Very interesting. And here's what it says. It says, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a bill banning sex reassignment surgeries into law on Monday. The legislation aimed at lighter regulation of what mps described as the transgender industry bans, legal sex changes and medical interventions associated with transitioning, except due to serious medical grounds, administration of drugs in surgeries associated with gender reassignment therapy will now only be permitted in cases that require treatment of reproductive organ deformities in children. Only licensed clinics linked to the Russian Health Ministry can now make decisions of such treatments and issue relevant certificates. The legislation says people can also no longer, freely change their sex on IDs and other documents. Those who do not or who do so may not adopt children until the new law. Or under the new law. Married couples can also have their marriage marriages declared, declared invalid if one of the spouses changes their sex. According to Russia, deputy Health Minister Evgenia Cova, over 2000 people legally changed their sex in the country between 2018 and 2022 when the practice was legal state Duma advisor Visor via Shela Odin blasted what he called the western transgender industry and defended the reasoning behind the law. The number of gender reassignment surgeries in the US has increased by 50 times over the last 10 years. Adding that around 1.4% of all US teenagers, aged between 13 and 17 identified themselves as transgender in 2022. What more? Almost 2%. Almost two. One out of 50 people who's under the age of 17 identify as transgender. That is crazy. That's like the amount of people that have a D H D. Now all of a sudden you're in the wrong body and you don't have the right sexual organs. This is the path leading to the degradation of the nation. He said, stating that the newly adopted law was designed to avoid such a scenario. The legislation still allowed the treatment of relevant diseases. There are conditions that can be identified during childhood. He said, yet when a person changes sex because they woke up in the morning and decided they are not a boy or a girl, that. It is just wrong, said the Duma head. According to the top Russian Senator Valentina Mat vco, the law was received many positive responses from European nations. Trans right activists still blast to the law, arguing that it seriously diminishes the rights of transgender persons in Russia. Critics also claim that the legislation's wording creates uncertainty related to treatment of certain diseases, not linked to gender reassignment procedures like mastectomies for women genetically predisposed to breast cancer. Kremlin spokesperson, Dmitri Pesco said on Monday that all such issues have been reviewed by experts. While the bill's text was still being debated in parliament, all those questions were answered. He said adding that risks associated with the law had been minimized. Hmm. Well, so I've claimed my opinion on this several, several times. I don't think anybody should be getting a surgery because you're have a mental illness. It doesn't help anything. It just furthers your mental illness. If you have schizophrenia and you, or, or, or, here's a better example that we've seen play out with those clips, right? There was a lady, a woman who thinks that she was blind. She should have been born blind. I just know it. I'm a blind person. Yet she can see. I just know it. I'm a woman, yet I just was born with a penis. Yeah, just because you have that mental illness, which I'm sure is difficult to deal with for anybody in that situation, it's gotta be horrible. If, if that's truly how you feel now, I think that's a far lesser percentage of the people than who are doing it for attention, or because they have maybe other mental health issues going on, but it's gotta suck. That sucks, right? Believing that you're a blind person when you can see, geez, what a terrible thing to deal with. Then that lady put draino in her eyes so that she actually became blind. Now, if you wanna cut your dick off in the kitchen and call yourself a woman, go right ahead. But should any licensed medical professional age you in that or do it on your behalf because you believe that you are something that you are not? No, that's not how medicine works. That's not fixing you. That's physically harming you. So I agree with this. I don't think anybody should be getting gender reassignment surgery. I don't think you should be getting your dick cut off and then inverted inside of you and then you like, have you guys heard of all this? Like how, what you actually have to go through for that to be a thing. They have to insert themselves something into this orifice that is self-created by these medical professionals every single day so it doesn't close up on them and they turn into a literal. Ken or Barbie doll, and then it gets infected and it's like this, Ugh. Ugh. Why would you wanna do that to yourself and why would a medical professional encourage it besides profitability, which is what we know it's about, right? So I don't disagree with this. I don't think anybody should be able to go to a medical office and have a doctor aid them in perpetuating mental illness. Now I think you should speak to a therapist. I think that you should get help and I hope that you feel better in your body. I've talked about this endless amounts of time, and I hate that I have to continually discuss this topic. It's so stupid. I. It's literally my least favorite thing to discuss. It's the most uninteresting topic that I have to talk about so consistently here, but I have to talk about it because other people, all these things are going on consistently about how stupid we are and actually playing into this. Ugh. Anyways, I don't disagree with this. There's my thoughts. Alright, so. That's what I got for you guys today. Go ahead and subscribe, make sure you're here. Next week we're gonna be discussing our next episode, which should come out tomorrow. We're gonna discuss that document. That's gonna be the entire episode is combing over the document. I've been studying it, highlighting it, pulling out all of the the things that we should be discussing from that article. Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars. It's the wildest document from like a social engineering perspective, like what's actually been happening and seeing it all laid out in front of us from the 1950s. So make sure that you join, subscribe. Leave a five star review. Head over to austin adams.sub.com. I will include the article or the document. That I've highlighted for you guys and marked up and made notes on directly into the sub stack. Alright? So head over there right now.

“When you're in debt to the truth, the interest rate sucks.” That's just one of many so-true-it-hurts gems in Rand Fishkin's 2018 book Lost and Founder, an accounting of his leadership journey through the often-Faustian bargain of building a company through venture funding, for all but a select few types of start-ups who do benefit from that route. In this conversation, he shares why he dislikes the term lifestyle business, how he views some of his biggest business regrets in hindsight, his definition of chill work, and how he's building his new business through open-sourced angel funding (and profit sharing) with a Delightfully Tiny Team of three. More About Rand: Rand Fishkin is the co-founder and CEO of SparkToro, makers of fine audience research software. He's dedicated his professional life to helping people do better marketing through his writing, videos, speaking, and his book, Lost and Founder: A Painfully Honest Field Guide to the Startup World. When Rand's not working, he's usually cooking a fancy meal for the love of his life, author Geraldine DeRuiter. If you bribe him with great pasta or fancy cocktails, he'll pull back the curtain on big tech's dark secrets.

Stoyan has a fantastic life story to share. Starting in his native Bulgaria and pursuing a finance degree in Denmark, he discovered a passion for filmmaking that saw him eventually work as a producer for more than 500 films. Then the epiphany happened. When delivering a speech, he realised a person's life could truly be changed with a one-hour speech. After that, he quit filmmaking and pursued a career as a motivational speaker and workshop host.  We talk: Washing dishes and giving speeches Keeping purpose present The Art of Prioritisation Are you eating frogs or honey?
