You don’t need to be the best in the world.
You already are the best in somebody’s world.
To them, what you say and do matters.
Not everyone is watching.
But they’re watching.
And that’s enough.

> Hi Angie, Nate is a great resource, with deep precision in his thought. It will be an honor having a mentor like him.
I was asked to take over an entrepreneurship program recently. Then we had one mentor suddenly leave. So, I stepped in.
Honored to get sent the founder’s thoughts on the change.

What’s the best way to deal with this, and increase revenue during these lower volume seasons?
The easy starting point is to consider what complimentary products or services the same person buys in the low season.
We can do better.

Interestingly, Claude Code just created this email for me (not on-brand, nor the right name, but close, and amazing!).
Side note, it also did the research for my ESP, which I approve of it's decision.
I just created the API keys and added secrets. Otherwise, awesome. #buildinpublic #pickleball

Getting my AI on.
As of today, I can use Telegram to do Q&A on the last 2-3 years of calls and meetings with founders.
And AI helped me write the script to import them in bulk as well as process them from now on.
Day 0. Let's go.
