Midjourney's ultrasound-based scanner is a real, working example of AI hardware genuinely improving humanity rather than just being hype.
100 times faster than an MRI... 10 times cheaper than an MRI... Full body scan in 60 seconds instead of an hour in a tube.

Consistent organic posting compounds into brand equity and lowers CAC even when it doesn't drive direct revenue, and most brands fail simply by not sticking with it.
if you just continue to post, it compounds... this is how you really can very easily and very cheaply build brand equity

A business that is entirely dependent on its founder as the 'magician' is far less acquirable, even if it's highly profitable, until the founder builds a team that can carry the magic.
until he can kind of step out of the middle and very convincingly build a team that is the magic, the business is not nearly as acquirable

Founders launch brands precisely because they underestimate the odds against them, and that irrational optimism is a necessary trait, not a flaw.
the reason many brands are started is because the founders don't know the odds are so against... you got to be delusionally optimistic

Deliberately extending a brand collaboration's lifecycle instead of treating it as a one-off post is what turned a partnership into a seven-figure Walmart item.
let's actually stretch the life cycle of this cuz we think it's really powerful. We got end caps in Walmart... it caused these brands... to say, 'we're going to step up and push this, too'
▶ 44:25 2026-06-20 Retail & Wholesale
Treating retail buyers as long-term partners and sharing category expertise, rather than just pitching SKUs, reduces perceived risk and unlocks off-cycle meetings with major retailers.
that allowed them to kind of break down and reduce the perceived level of risk... we get meetings with Target, Walmart off-cycle

Every piece of content needs a testable thesis behind it (format, hook, pillar) because volume alone doesn't increase views, and unexpected breakout hits validate the need to keep testing.
everything just has to have kind of a thesis to it and you're testing something
▶ 1:01:45 2026-06-20 Consumer Trends
Flushable wipes remain a massively underpenetrated category, with most consumers never having tried it, giving the category room to eventually rival toilet paper.
60% haven't even tried a flushable wipe yet. We think we can replace toilet paper.
