Recommendation · MoneyTest a script by asking: do I enjoy reading this? Would I read this if someone texted this to me? If you like reading it, it will probably sound good said out loud too.

Method · MoneyFarza shares a concrete technique for testing a tweet's text: take a random person's tweet on the platform, change the text to your own, and ask yourself whether your eye stopped — would you stop on what this is saying?
Method, not a verified protocol.

Method · MoneyTake out your iPhone, click record, selfie mode, talk about what you're doing for 30 seconds, and post it to Instagram, TikTok, Reddit, YouTube, or wherever. Then talk about it, show it, click post, and close it and get back to work — that's all you have to do. Founders should spend even 10 minutes a day to step back and ask: what's something I did today that made me smile or was interesting or felt new?

Recommendation · MoneyWrite down your video structure before getting in front of the camera, and script your video so you have something to ground yourself. Start with the script and then move on to the visuals.

Method · MoneyFarza recommends writing down the script before getting in front of the camera — start with the script and then move on to the visuals — because the worst part of being on camera is not knowing what you're saying and having nothing to ground yourself.

Recommendation · MoneyPublish your pricing publicly (or at least where agents can find it), because agents ding you in recommendations when they can't find your pricing — the agent will report it as a fact that your pricing is a mystery, and it costs you the recommendation.

AI Engineer · Don't Trust Your AI Agents. Test Them Like a Scientist — Stephanie Jarmak, Omni Analytics
Recommendation · MoneyThe hosts encourage founders to go to their users and ask them what they think of the website — something they did in the early days. When asking, try not to make it clear that it's your website, because users will be too nice to you and won't tell you the truth. You need users to tell you if the site is resonating with them; that's the ultimate test. Talk to your users rather than relying on two people behind cameras for feedback.

AI Engineer · A Bank Trained Its Own Foundation Model to Catch Fraud — Freddy Lecue, Wells Fargo
Recommendation · MoneyUse RoPE and memory-efficiency techniques like flash attention and activation checkpointing — nothing really new, just the advice from those who built much bigger models. Use RoPE (rotary position embeddings) in the model architecture. Use flash attention for memory efficiency during training. Use activation checkpointing to save memory during training. For training techniques, take advice from those who have built much bigger models — there is nothing really new in the approach. They adopted training advice from teams that built much bigger models rather than inventing new techniques.

Recommendation · FuelFor foundational nutritional support — vitamins, minerals, digestive enzymes, probiotics, prebiotics, and adaptogens — combined all-in-one supplements are fine. A broad spectrum supplement with many ingredients is the best route to ensuring foundational supplementation is covered and should be the starting place for any supplementation regimen.
Andrew Huberman · Essentials: Developing a Rational Approach to Supplementation for Health & Performance
Recommendation · FuelHuberman recommends trying individual ingredients alone before combining them into any sort of cocktail. He explains that combining supplements before testing them individually prevents you from identifying which ingredient is effective or detrimental for you. If you want to combine alpha-GPC and L-tyrosine, for example, first try each alone and confirm it works well for you, then combine.

Recommendation · FuelHuberman advises consulting a trusted board-certified physician before adding or subtracting any behavioral, nutritional, supplementation, or prescription drug protocols, calling this absolutely essential. He also clarifies that he is not a physician or clinician and does not prescribe anything.

Andrew Huberman · Essentials: Developing a Rational Approach to Supplementation for Health & Performance
Recommendation · FuelHuberman advises focusing on single-ingredient supplement formulations, except for foundational nutritional support like vitamins, minerals, digestive enzymes, probiotics, prebiotics, and adaptogens. He argues this gives the most power and control for finding minimal effective doses when exploring supplements for sleep, hormone health, or cognitive function.

RecommendationFoley recommends: 'Designing Type' by Karen Cheng as a starting point (plain language, strong visuals; start by drawing round characters like the O, which begins solving C and G); 'Type Revivals' by Michele Patané for the revival process (photograph, analyse, rationalise, then digital drawings); and 'Detail in Typography' by Jos Hakuli as a desk reference for typesetting questions (rag, line length, letter spacing). He struggled with Robert Bringhurst's denser book and prefers Hakuli for accessibility.

Recommendation · MoneyIf you're 18 today, study math, computer science, and possibly economics — 'modern alchemy' — to learn how humans turn sand into intelligence. Position yourself in the mix at the cutting edge of AI over the next 20-30 years: you don't have to be solely technical, but use the tools. AI will also revolutionize non-technical fields — classics (Vesuvius Scrolls), economics, biology, design, art, music — so domain expertise plus AI is a viable path.
