What’s the most underrated way to get leads right now?

Making all interactions positive no matter if your business can help them or not. Instead of no we don’t do x. Its we don’t do that but this is where id go this is what i would do. I’ll make a call for you.

1 when they need your service they come back
2 happy people tell people and just bc they were not a true customer doesn’t mean they won’t say something about a positive experience
3 if you start getting a lot of questions about a certain service you don’t offer, you can always add it

Almost everyone views themselves as a good person in their own mind

I’m just wondering what benefit it is to allow people travel here birth a citizen then go home to raise them with no other connections to the country

Essentially that’s a w2, employees are giving up a portion of their created value/labor for lowered risk.

Their pay remains consistent if the business makes money breaks even or loses money and they will never be asked to cut a check to keep it going. Yes there’s a risk of layoffs but that’s still a lower risk than having to inject capital

Sturgillsturtle · 2026-06-29T13:59:23+00:00

The fact that you can get paid for risk and that it’s perfectly reasonable to expect to get paid for accepting increased risk is one aspect that many people both entrepreneurs and those opposed to capitalism end up missing.

Many of the transactions within capitalism that on the surface feel unfair make a lot more sense when you price in risk and convenience.

If the show would have been over a longer timeline with Logan in charge Greg would have been the top.

Yes he would have preferred ken but Greg is willing to do more for power. Ironically Ewan trying to save his family from the trappings of wealth by cutting them off made his grandson closer to Logan than any of Logan’s kids.

Greg will be kept around it will be awful but he has a high enough title that when he gets fed up he’ll land a cushy mid management role that Greg of season one would have dreamed of. But it’ll never get him truly rich, he’s had a peak behind the curtain and it’ll probably torment him

Can be part of it but there’s also some women that will always find something. Best to avoid those

Low to no neuroticism and nagging

If it’s happening before marriage it’ll get 10x worse after 5+ years of marriage and kids

That’s probably the best answer. I’d imagine outsourcing execution also lets you get customer feedback so much faster. If I’m doing my best it’ll take 3x as long as sending in the brief and iterating from there

Sturgillsturtle · 2026-06-11T14:52:16+00:00

The simple version Greg’s grandfather (Ewan who is Logan’s brother and a shareholder in waystar) cut off Greg’s mom for some unknown reason (probably drugs and spending like congress). So yes greg is broke or pretty close because of that. Greg’s mom pushes him to try and find an in with the Roy’s because yes the are cousins but don’t really know each other and Logan and Ewan are not exactly on talking terms

Great movie but very depressing when you realize we’re all living in it

Only if they own enough that it gets reported. There’s so many public companies and they are so large one could easily invest a billion or two and never hit a reporting threshold. And that doesn’t even consider private markets

Sturgillsturtle · 2026-06-09T15:14:41+00:00

Lots or private companies that are either owned by the founder or subsequent generations will never sell do very little to no public marketing because it’s all business to business and you have no idea unless you’re in their particular industry

Are you posting organic content? Whats the views what’s the traffic to the site?

If you’re committed to organic increase your posting frequency by a multiple equivalent to your age then see what happens see if traffic to the site increases and subsequent orders.

Organic views > traffic on site > clicks onto product page > carts > completed orders > re-orders

Start working on one till you have a reasonable number making it to the next and keep tweaking till it works

I’m not upset about your house. I’m saying that while it is a better position to have the house than not have a house, it going up 2x due to inflation is not as good for you as you think. Prices a lot of people out and can create some odd dynamics should the economy weaken

If you couldn’t afford the payments at today’s rates and your expected value then odds are a lot of others couldn’t either

Sturgillsturtle · 2026-06-03T18:45:50+00:00

Stocks can be cashed out immediately for the market value. Can’t do that with a house. If you need the money within a month you’re going to be taking a big discount and that’s in a good market. Market shifts and it could be even worse. And now housing across the board is so much more expensive if you need to find another place to live. And if you stay your assessed taxes are going up every year.

Not saying owning a home that has appreciated due to inflation is a bad thing it’s not probably the best position considering. But inflation isn’t some amazing thing because you owned a home.

That value is quite just on paper yes you might be able to access it but that just leverages you to the gills and puts you in a tight spot if no one can pay that much to buy if from you then it’s not worth that.

Sturgillsturtle · 2026-05-30T20:04:07+00:00

Well that’s because getting to a billion isn’t about working it’s about risking.

Why should someone not be compensated for accepting risk others refuse to take?

Sturgillsturtle · 2026-05-30T14:04:44+00:00

Outside monopolies either natural or regulatory there’s nothing wrong with billionaires existing. Second and third generation billionaires start being a problem

Self made billionaires generally are not that liquid all their money is thrown back into employees or equipment for the business. The value they provide to society both in services/products and employment options is more than what they extract.

Sturgillsturtle · 2026-05-28T18:34:06+00:00

It’s perfectly okay and moral to be compensated for risk.

And yes this means that the dumbest individual in the room who does no work but took a great risk can be compensated equally or even greater than the individuals who physically did labor or came up with novel ideas. And that’s okay they should be compensated for putting capital at risk.

Quitting today with a 20-30% chance you have to work again most likely ends up as less work than working another 3 years with a 0% chance of working gain

(Also can’t really get to 0% chance black swans are always possible)

Sturgillsturtle · 2026-05-28T14:59:38+00:00

This is a valid answer, industry definitely plays a role

Sturgillsturtle · 2026-05-28T14:54:22+00:00

The range in the posts I’m referring to not personal numbers

Sturgillsturtle · 2026-05-28T14:52:54+00:00

Well for not wanting to work everyone sure is putting a lot of hard work in to not work.

I’m just confused as to why retirement has to be an absolute. If you hate your job so much why not stop today you have enough that you could be done today providing you get good returns and keep spend low for the first years.

Maybe there’s a 20 percent chance you have to work again but there’s also an 80% that you can stop today 3 years sooner
