it’s cool to meet other business owners but I find a lot of them to be very one dimensional go play instruments, speak multiple languages, do art on the side, tinker with physical hobbies tldr; be a polymath. so many lessons can be found by tackling multiple disciplines

understanding your process for rest, energy generation, and creativity is extremely crucial key word is understanding, as its not the same for everyone. what's rest for me could look like work to others. knowing yourself means asking yourself.

in 72 hours I have a telegram bot that researches design concepts on IG, sends new ideas to me for approval, builds out product renders with nano banana, crafts my Shopify product pages filled with accurate description, and can launch ads on Meta in a few days I built an agent that helps me learn japanese by introducing 10 new words a day, quizzing me on them, and forcing me to write / speak those words in a coherent sentence today I'm tinkering on a scheduling system that intakes my priortizations for the month and helps realign/adjust all my scheduling to ensure i'm staying moving towards my highest priorities these are just a couple of my use cases & I wanted to share for those who ask "what has anyone actually built with agents"

the biggest gurus you know are doing blackhat supps, rebilling customers under the table, charging double or triple what they display at checkout one of the main reasons I relocated to HK was to be closer to the future
the biggest brands you follow are just chinese manufacturers that figured out how to brand their products for the west vertically integrated, rapid product iteration, ruthless competition

If you’re in it for the long term, this is the move. I’ve been seeing more and more Chinese suppliers run brands or even buy them. Even had brands whom I helped with their supply chain discover their biggest competitor being their own supplier.
