The workflow function is crazy. It built out a plan to launch 63 sub agents to audit a number of different functions within my agent workforce to find any gaps, vulnerabilities improvements, database issues, etc.. what it found was actually really really valuable. The question is was the 4.2 million tokens worth it? I’ll report back next week once we make these updates.

Opus 4.8 just came out and I’m already seeing a massive difference in both the reasoning, the explanations, the rationale and the results that I’m getting back. The future is looking crazier and crazier as these new models continue to roll out.. if you have any questions, shoot me a DM

Please don’t fall for the highest volume lowest cost magic trick that Facebook is trying to pull on everybody. This year, especially the highest volume seems to be the lowest performing out of every campaign. We manage, especially over the last few weeks. Big caps are continuing to run that 50 to 70% utilization of the budget and scaling almost daily.

Stop wasting your ad spend on a leaky bucket.

Scaling a brand isn't just about how many new customers you can acquire—it is about how many you can keep.

Many brands think their ads are failing when, in reality, their backend systems are non-existent. If you don't have a robust post-purchase flow and a strategic win-back sequence, you are leaving your hardest-earned money on the table.

Your backend is what makes your front-end spend sustainable. Until you plug the holes in your customer lifecycle, you are just subsidizing Meta’s profits instead of your own.

Comment BACKEND and I will send you the template we use to audit brand retention.

Is your $15k/month agency retainer actually worth it?

The efficiency gap is widening. Today, a 26-year-old with an AI-first mindset can wire up the operations that used to require a full-service team.

Reporting, creative briefing, and customer service can now be handled by one in-house operator. This is not a theory, it is already happening.

The future belongs to those who build systems, not those who hide behind high retainers.

The clock is ticking.

Comment OPERATOR to see how to stay ahead of the curve.

Stop managing people. Start managing agents.

If you are still hiring four humans to do work that one operator and an AI could handle, you are falling behind.

An AI operator doesn't just use AI; they build systems. By wiring Claude into Shopify, Meta Ads, and Slack, they create a seamless flow of data and actions that runs 24/7.

This is how you scale a $5M brand with a lean team. You automate the repetitive tasks and save your brainpower for high-level strategy.

iOS is not your problem. Your strategy is.

I’ve audited over 80 DTC brands this year, and the ones struggling with rising CPAs all say the same thing: “It’s the iOS updates.”

But after looking under the hood, I found the same 3 issues every single time and none of them were Apple’s fault:

1. Creative Fatigue: Using the same 3 angles since last summer.
2. Stagnant Offers: The offer hasn’t evolved since the initial launch.
3. Outdated Retention: A post-purchase flow that hasn’t been touched since 2023.

If you’re still blaming the platform, you’re missing the profit.

Want to see where your leaks are?
Comment AUDIT and I’ll send you the exact 3-point checklist we use to fix these gaps.

Two brands. Both hitting $5M/year.
But their bank accounts look completely different. Why?

Brand A: 4 people doing manual data entry, triaging tickets by hand and building reports from scratch.
Brand B: 1 operator + Claude AI.

The result? Brand B is netting 18 points more in profit.

Efficiency isn't just about working harder; it’s about working smarter with the right AI systems. By 2027, the gap between traditional ops and AI-powered brands will be brutal.

Which side are you on?

Comment OPERATOR and I’ll send you the playbook for becoming Brand B.
