Would you rather have $10,000 a day for 30 days or a magic penny that doubles every day for 30 days?

The $10,000 sounds incredible. That’s $300,000. But at the end of 30 days that penny is worth $5.4 million.

That’s compounding and that’s why I teach this to every young person I meet.

You would always rather have a consistent return on something than straight cash flow. – Anthony Scaramucci

When it comes to AI You do not need to build the brain. You need to build the nervous system.

The biggest winners of the electricity era were not the engineers who built the generators. The winners were the ones who walked into dark factories and showed the owners where to plug in. – Mark Cuban

I was up at Harvard a while back, and a very nice young guy, he picked me up at the airport, a Harvard Business School attendee.”

And he said, “Look. I went to undergrad here, and then I worked for X and Y and Z, and now I’ve come here.” And he said, “I thought it would really round out my résumé perfectly if I went to work now for a big management consulting firm.” 

And I said, “Well, is that what you want to do?” And he said, “No,” but he said, “That’s the perfect résumé.” 

And I said, “Well when are you going to start doing what you like?” And he said, “Well I’ll get to that someday.” 

And I said, “Well you know, your plan sounds to me a lot like saving up sex for your old age. It just doesn’t make a lot of sense.” – Warren Buffett

I run a small federal contracting business, and when a contract modification required me to start reporting sales order-by-order instead of as a monthly summary, the concept was overwhelming. Instead, I opened an LLM, uploaded my invoices, described my problem, and built a fully automated Python script in a single afternoon that reads my invoices, maps them to the correct government fields, and spits out an upload-ready compliance report. What used to be a manual headache that could’ve taken hours is now a 30-second task, and I didn’t write a single line of code. Amazing! – Dad
