Fui a um jantar da Iniciativa Liberal Oeiras! Há 5 dias publiquei um texto com o qual muitos se identificaram e onde incentivei mais pessoas a irem para a política. Disse que eu próprio ia dar os primeiros passos. Relato agora a minha experiência nesse primeiro jantar partidário. Confesso que quando disse às pessoas à minha volta que ia a um jantar da IL, muitos me desencorajaram. Vais meter te na política, isso não resolve nada, que perda de tempo. Mesmo assim quis experimentar. Desde o início foram super simpáticos e receberam me de braços abertos. Rapidamente me apresentaram aos presentes. Vivo em Oeiras e por isso fui ao jantar da IL Oeiras, onde estiveram vários membros, entre eles a atual líder do partido Mariana Leitão e o candidato à Câmara de Oeiras Bruno Mourão. Na televisão parecem distantes, mas ao vivo foi o oposto, muito acessíveis e humanos. A impressão que tive é que estes jantares também servem para convívio. Pessoas do partido fazem networking e debatem ideias. Disseram me logo que mesmo dentro do partido há opiniões diferentes que se discutem entre si. Como queria mais do que um grupo de debate, perguntei o que precisavam de mim e o que poderia fazer para ajudar a IL a crescer. Aqui senti falta de uma resposta clara. Disseram me que a iniciativa teria de ser minha e que podia propor ideias. Por exemplo, criar um podcast sobre a IL ou ajudar a organizar eventos. Falaram me também de um grupo de estudo com especialistas em várias áreas que apoia deputados e membros das assembleias em diversos tópicos. Eu poderia ajudar na área tecnológica. No geral senti muita abertura para novas ideias, mas faltam pessoas com disponibilidade para as executar. Com mais membros a dedicar tempo a marketing, redes sociais, podcasts e afins, o impacto no crescimento do partido poderia ser muito grande. Foi uma experiência enriquecedora que recomendo a todos. Informem se junto dos partidos com que se identificam na vossa localidade e perguntem quando é o próximo evento que aceite simpatizantes. Vão conhecer, sem compromisso. Acho que é um exercício muito interessante que devia ser praticado por mais pessoas. Se quiserem experimentar um evento da IL falem comigo, agora conheço algumas pessoas que vos podem apresentar. Ainda não sei quais serão os meus próximos passos. Quero encontrar algo com impacto e que se enquadre com o tempo que posso investir. Quando decidir volto a escrever aqui. Já alguma vez foram a um jantar partidário? Qual foi a vossa experiência?
I know that this sounds crazy but I have just fully automated my youtube shorts content... I simply have to put the short ideas into an google sheet and every day my automation will grab one idea, generate a script and then use Flarecut API to make a short and post it into Youtube It's a great time to be an indie maker 😍

Just added a memory to my agent so that it can store some experiments it makes and improve. The goal is that it learns what are the best email formats for each type of user and part of the flow These agents are super powerful!

Platform risk is real and can kill legit businesses in a matter of days... There is still a lot we don't know on why @foliofed was not able to make a deal with reddit but it's definitely a sad moment when you are forced to kill a successful business that is making money and bringing value to more than 800 paying users...
It's a very difficult decision to wind down a profitable business But in this case, I think its the best one for current @gummy_search customers, as well as myself I wrote up the "why" here, as well as what what to expect in this final chapter gummysearch.com/final-chapte…

My Podsqueeze page is now "almost" fully autonomous. I share the post ideas in my google sheets and then my automation will customize the post to each platform: Youtube Linkedin Twitter What do you think of the content? Easy to read?
Netflix wants in on video podcasts. In talks with iHeart to: - turn podcast fans into Netflix viewers - go exclusive vs YouTube - lean on celeb-led shows Win for creators or less reach for $$$? What do you think?

Definitely started to get more payments coming from Paypal. This was a low hanging fruit One of those 80-20 things Recommend
I only noticed now that @stripe has tons of payment options that are not enabled by default!! Just enabled a bunch of them Do you think it will increase conversion?

Is the bull market over for Bitcoin?
BTC keeps falling and I keep buying it... Can this be the beginning of a huge fall and me losing all my money? 😅
BREAKING: Bitcoin officially enters bear market territory, now down -20% since its record high seen on October 6th. We are living in the most exciting market in history.

New Indie Founder Podcast episode is live! 🎙️ This week I talk about why we’re finally ditching our coworking space for our own office. How one loud founder made us hunt for a place, what went wrong with coworking, and what it feels like to get our own space. Listen wherever you get your podcasts—just search “Indie Founder Podcast” (Spotify, Apple, YouTube, etc)!

I want to keep posting honest and helpful content but unfortunately the algorithm only promotes shitposting... So if you like what I post and want to make sure you see it consider activating the notifications Every time I post something new you will get a twitter notification 😀
