1/ Most lenders don't have a growth problem. They have a discipline problem. I'm placing an operator who has fixed that twice. 2/ The record: a 34-year-old lender absorbed into a community bank. $15M to $235M in assets. $840M+ originated. Headcount went down, not up. 3/ Every $1 of overhead went from producing $1.03 in revenue to $3.28. Beat industry delinquency benchmarks 10 years straight. 0.10% net charge-offs at exit. 4/ He did it by fixing credit, systems, and people first, then scaling. Proven through the Great Recession and COVID. 5/ If you run a bank, specialty finance company, or PE-backed lender that needs to grow the right way, DM me.

This is the greatest sport on earth! It has provided so much and blessed to have both my boys choose coaching as their profession! @tgrim19 @tgrim_20

Somethings in life are a journey, but when you arrive it is so refreshing

I love when Claude just can push a new build and try and slide in different privacy rules.

I’m sitting here in absolute disbelief. Over the last three years, I’ve given away roughly 500 hours of my knowledge, experience, relationships and advice. One relationship alone: 14 months and probably 400 hours. Another: roughly 100 hours. No compensation. And now I’m watching people take that knowledge and turn it into opportunities for themselves. I’ve spent my career believing that if you help people, create value and do the right thing, the economics will eventually work themselves out. That was my mistake. Generosity is one thing. Giving away decades of experience without valuing it is another. 500 hours. That’s a hard number to look at. #lessonlearned

druski genuinely saying some real shit here

Marcus really humiliated her in front of EVERYONE Bro didn’t care about class, he just wanted to be that guy! 🎥🍿

INSTEAD OF WATCHING AN HOUR OF NETFLIX TONIGHT. This 20 minute lecture by Andreas Antonopoulos will teach you more about the financial surveillance complex and KYC risks, than most people learn in years. Bookmark it and share it, no matter what.

The sycophancy grows more complex; Anthropic’s own researchers showed that preference models reward convincingly written agreement over correct answers. These systems cut the cost of production and raised the cost of verification, and verification is judgment, and judgment is the human part. In one randomized trial, experienced developers worked 19% slower with AI tools and still believed they were faster. The mirror doesn’t create the foundation. It scales it.

If I have to meet one more person that calls them a visionary .... That's like someone saying they're an entrepreneur.

A bank paid $3.5M for a near-dead equipment finance company. Ten years later it was worth $39.4M to them. Portfolio per employee: up 16x. No new capital. No AI. Just discipline.

For what is worth, if you are thinking about @RingConn_ I suggest going with another brand, as their device stops working about the year timeframe.

Another photo from this weekend pure Michigan fall Golf! If you ever get a chance to play Forest Dunes, take it!

Incredible weekend playing Northern Michigan golf with good friends! #forestdunes

I’m hearing of multiple organizations pulling back on their token spend due to low ROI on their AI deployments. If the AI trade falters it would be a major problem for . . . well the entire economy at this point.

Excited for the boys to get their seasons started, following their passion for coaching, leading, and positively influencing young men. The wins matter, but the opportunity to help shape young men through the game is what makes coaching special. Proud of what they’re building at @MSUBeaversMHKY and @middmhockey
