When the business gets busy, health is usually the first thing to slide.
Our Toronto members gave it an evening at Trove Wellbeing, with a talk and open Q&A from Dr. Megan Woroch, a naturopathic doctor.

Today, we honor all who served. 🇺🇸
To the men and women who gave their time, their strength, and sometimes everything, thank you. Your courage built the freedom that lets so many of us build.
To the veterans in our Club and community: we’re grateful for you.

A video of a robot spreading adhesive and laying floor tiles on concrete went viral. Millions of views, and the comments are split between "amazing" and "there goes the trade."
I build construction robots, so here's my honest take. Specialized machines win the repetitive, back-breaking jobs. The skilled people move to setup, edges and quality checks.
Construction is short hundreds of thousands of workers. Tying rebar is the same story for us: thousands of ties a day, 16-gauge wire, same motion every time. Let the robot take the grind.
Humanoid hype won't pour the slab. One machine that does one job well will.

Some of the best marketing lessons I know come from old school advertising, way more than from tech marketing.
You get about two seconds of someone's attention to earn another minute. Most startups spend those two seconds on a category label.
"AI-native orchestration platform for logistics" tells me what you think you are. "Your trucks stop driving around empty." tells me what I get. Same company, completely different result.
A few rules I use when I rewrite positioning with founders:
1. Speak your customer's language. If your buyer wouldn't say it out loud on a call, it doesn't belong in your headline.
2. Pick ONE audience. The moment you try to talk to three, nobody feels like you're talking to them.
3. Open with something positive the customer wants, and save the scary problem stats for later.
4. Zag when your competitors zig. If every site in your category looks the same, the fastest way to get remembered is to look different.
5. Kill the buzzwords. I once got a draft back so full of them that my entire feedback was "maybe just tell Claude to stop being such a geek" haha.
Your technology might be incredible. Nobody finds out if the first line reads like an architecture diagram.

Fraud has NO place in this country. LOCK THEM UP.

🚨 INSANITY: Democrats are plotting to IMPEACH RFK Jr., and Rep. Anna Paulina Luna says it's ALL about special interest money.
Big pharma is TERRIFIED of him. HANDS OFF BOBBY!

🚨 AMAZING: Gov. Ron DeSantis has paid off 54% of ALL the debt Florida ever racked up, and cut the budget 4 years STRAIGHT.
That is how you run a state. PROUD to be a Floridian!

If you're a startup that needs capital, raise soon, keep a cash cushion for a year, and lock in AI token prices with long contracts instead of hoping they fall.
Cash buys you time to talk to customers.
But IMO don't raise just because the window feels like it's closing. Raise when you have a reason: first customers, a clear milestone, people who already raised their hand.
Fundraising is 50 to 100 convos, so start with a story you can prove. Maybe I'm wrong. But panic is a terrible pitch deck haha.

Things that prepared me to be a founder that are nowhere on my LinkedIn.
At 12, I ran a relative's gravestone business for a summer after they went into long-term care. I got a $10,000 loan, and the business did well. You learn a lot about customers very fast in that industry.
In high school in Sweden I was on a film director track. After a bunch of internships I realized working with creative people was really hard for me and my math wasn't useful there, so I switched to engineering. Nice plot twist.
In my first year of university I got elected Party Master. I thought I'd be great at it. It turned out to mean courses in responsible alcohol serving and fire safety, and a full year of being the only sober person cleaning up after everyone. It taught me more about leadership than any course I took.
I've always ended up in places I probably shouldn't have been, because I say yes to things. I still recommend it.

Your money is doing less than you think. The market is quiet and most stables are sitting idle.
One account, everything working. Borrow against your whole portfolio, route it into yield and run it all as one margin book.

One word cost me a Rally submission: “tomorrow.”
I had days to enter. Instead, I spent the final hours drafting a post I never submitted.
That’s why @GenLayer’s Pre-Mainnet Staking caught my attention. Some things start automatically. Others need you to act.
From THE DAY, an unclaimed GEN airdrop counts as staked, even while locked. Every staked GEN earns 1 Staking Point a day. Extra GEN can be staked through the Portal and withdrawn at any time.
Stake 1,000 GEN for 30 days: 30,000 points. Wait 20 days and stake for the final 10: 10,000.
That 20,000-point gap isn’t a penalty. It’s time you didn’t use.
Points appear on a live leaderboard. At the mainnet snapshot, Foundation-backed node seats are allocated in proportion to points among eligible operators.
But eligibility is separate: your node must have run on Clarke for at least 30 days. You can run it yourself or use a node-as-a-service partner.
An airdrop can earn points without action. A node can’t complete 30 days without running.
What would you put beside Staking Points on the Portal to make node eligibility impossible to overlook?

Imagine a water tanker pulling up in your compound, but only the people who prepared their drums early are ready to collect. The truck doesn’t wait for anyone.
That’s the timing problem behind Pre-Mainnet Staking on @GenLayer, but there’s another catch. Having enough points doesn’t automatically qualify you for a node seat.
Here’s how it works.
Pre-Mainnet Staking covers the period between THE DAY, when GEN arrives, and mainnet. Every GEN staked earns 1 Staking Point per day.
Stake 1,000 GEN and you earn 1,000 points on day one, then 30,000 after 30 days. The earlier you stake, the more points you accumulate.
Your unclaimed airdrop automatically counts as staked from THE DAY. It earns points while still locked. Additional GEN can be staked through the Portal at the same rate, and you can withdraw that additional stake at any time.
Your points appear on a live leaderboard that updates daily. At the mainnet snapshot, node seats are distributed proportionally to accumulated points among eligible participants.
Now, here’s the part people shouldn’t overlook.
You need a node running on Clarke, the testnet before mainnet, for at least 30 days to qualify. Want 10 seats? You need 10 nodes running simultaneously. You can operate them yourself or use a node-as-a-service partner. Either way, the nodes are yours.
Selected validators receive Foundation-backed GEN at mainnet. They run the nodes that keep GenLayer working and earn GEN fees for every transaction they process.
So there are two things to work on before mainnet: build your Staking Points and meet the Clarke node requirement.
Which would be your bigger challenge, accumulating enough GEN to compete for more seats or maintaining multiple Clarke nodes for eligibility?
