But this is the same stuff people, they pay like very big SaaS companies, like New Relic for, right? Like to manage the stuff. So you can do that too. You can use off the shelf. I like to build myself. It's easier. Yeah, it's nice.
Ask your GPT, you know, like give your daily, your day and then ask what parts you'd automate. Yeah.
Yeah.
Man, that's very interesting. I think there's some startups that do that. Like they summarize the cool shit happening on Twitter, you know, like with AI. I think the guy called SWYX or something, he does like a newsletter that's completely AI generated with the cool news stuff on AI.
Summarize internet.com.
My girlfriend said, she saw me like watching some dumb video. She's like, dude, your face looks so dumb as well. Your whole face starts going like, oh, interesting. You know, so...
Yeah. Hard wheel. Yeah.
It's difficult. You need to like manage your platforms, you know? I have a mute board list as well. So I mute like politics stuff because I don't really want it on my feet and I think I've muted so much that now my feed is good. You know, I see like interesting stuff.
But the fact that you need to modify, you need to like mod your app, your social media platform just to function and not be toxic for you, for your mental health, right? That's like a problem. Like it should be doing that for you.
You need to spend $42,000 a month, which my friends do.
You could screen cap your phone, right? It could be an app that watches your screen with you. You couldn't. Yeah. But I don't really know like what it would do. Like maybe it can hide stuff before you see it, you know, like I have that.
I have the same, I have this extension.
they're really good at like getting you to be distracted and like starting related accounts related stuff i'm like i don't want related and like 10 minutes later you're like or something that's trending i have a weird amount of friends addicted to youtube and i'm not addicted i think because my attention span is too short for youtube but uh but i have this extension to like youtube on hook which like it hides all the related stuff i can just see the video and it's amazing and uh
But sometimes I need to like, I need to search a video how to do something. And then I go to YouTube and then I had these YouTube shorts. These YouTube shorts are like, they're like algorithmically designed to just make you tap them. And I tap and then I'm like five minutes later with this face like, and you're just stuck. And it's like, what happened?
I was gonna open, I was gonna play like the coffee mix, you know, like the music mix for drinking coffee together, like in the morning, like jazz. I didn't wanna go to shorts. So it's very difficult.
Man, you shouldn't ask me because I never sold my company.
Yeah, it's kind of sad, right? Like, So I've been in a lot of acquisition, like deals and stuff. And I learned a lot about finance people as well there, like manipulation and due diligence and then changing the valuation. Like people change the valuation after. So a lot of people string you on. to acquire you. And then it takes like six months. It's a classic. It takes six to 12 months.
They want to see everything. They want to see your stripe and your code and whatever. And then in the end, they'll change the price to lower because you're already so invested. So it's like a negotiation tactic, right? I'm like, no, I don't want to sell, right? And the problem with my companies is like they make... you know, 90% profit margin.
So the multiple, companies get sold with multiples, kind of multiples of profit or revenue. And often the multiple is like three times, three times or four times or five times revenue or profit. So in my case, They're all automated. So I might as well wait three years and I get the same money as when I sell. And then I can still sell the same company. You know what I mean?
I can still sell for three, five times. So financially, it doesn't really make sense to sell. Yeah. Unless the price is high enough. Like if the price gets to like six or seven or eight, I don't want to wait six years for the money, you know? But if you give me three, like three years, nothing, like I can wait.
