Who says opportunities slow down after 40? John Ternus is 50 and set to become Apple’s new CEO. It’s a great reminder that age isn’t the limit. Your experience, value, and what you bring to the table matter most.

My advice for this weekend in the context of the Claude Design launch is to spend time with your family and stop scrolling. Let the AI sloper's eat each other, refresh your mind and gather your strength for next week to work on something useful for humanity.

I’m planning to start a few local businesses in the future, and I honestly hope I won’t have to do dances and jokes on TikTok just to make it work.
Now it feels as if you, as a business owner, not constantly showing up, you don’t exist. And that’s the part I don’t like: instead of focusing on your work and having some peace, you end up stuck in social media, constantly filming, thinking about content, chasing attention.
People who built serious businesses end up clowning around just to get more visibility. Maybe I’m old-school, but this is how I see it: a business owner should be more discreet. The brand and the team should be front and center, driving sales, not the owner, in every single video.
There’s a clear trend: entrepreneurs in non-tech (restaurants, fast food, shops, factories, etc) are constantly filming themselves and posting. Some say people buy from people, not brands. I don’t really agree. I follow a few on Instagram/TikTok and honestly, it feels cringe.
A businessman with a personal driver… making TikTok jokes just to sell. That’s the reality now.

A year ago on social media, I saw people working on real projects, and how they cared about what they were delivering. It was an inspiration to me. Now the whole feed is full of posts about which model is better or some AI sloop apps. I wonder how long this will last until we get back to normal?
Software was never really about speed. It comes down to details.
Now you can build almost anything with AI.
But if you don’t notice the small things, that becomes an issue.
AI gives fast results.
Details are still on you.

When you finally settle on what seems like the perfect product name, but then...
#Branding #FounderLife
Big corporations will not suddenly collapse.
And no, not every AI founder will automatically win.
Overall economic value does not magically explode.
What changes is how the value is created and how the economy is organized.
Distribution is still expensive. Maybe even more expensive than before.
Trust is expensive.
Brand is expensive.
Access to markets and regulations is expensive.
So 👇
The CEO of Block, Jack Dorsey, just announced a 4,000 employee reduction, around 40% of the company.
Everyone is shocked. Scared.
But here’s what matters in the AI entrepreneurship world:
Execution is becoming cheap. That part is true.
But 👇
Not long ago, non-tech users could build websites without engineers. WordPress with themes. No-code tools with Drag and drop. No need to write code. And engineers didn’t lose their jobs. Now, AI can generate code, and non-tech users can build again, just through a different interface.

Just told Axion, my #AI, to post this. It connected to #Mixpost, figured out the accounts, wrote the copy, and scheduled it across 5 platforms.
I typed one sentence in a chat. That's it.
The future of social media management with #OpenClaw is... just a conversation away. ⚛️
You know what I’m actually afraid of?
That as AI agents keep getting better, social networks will get flooded with bots and spam.
And the first reaction from platforms will be to start closing their APIs.
That’s the part that worries me.
#ai #agent #openclaw
Do you also feel this?
When you open social media after 2–3 hours and see something new, do you get a bit agitated, thinking you might fall behind if you don’t try that new tool?
Like everyone is already testing it and you are the last one to find out.

Industries adopting self-hosted social tools fastest:
Agencies: client data concerns
Healthcare: HIPAA
Financial services: compliance
Tech companies: aligned principles

Real case: Berlin agency, 23 clients
Before: $240/month SaaS (increasing to $380)
After: ~$35/month self-hosted
Plus: Won 2 new clients who specifically cited data transparency as a factor.
The economics shift faster than most expect.
SaaS costs compound:
- Per-user fees
- Per-account fees
- Feature tier upgrades
- Annual increases
Self-hosted:
- One license
- Unlimited users
- Unlimited accounts
For agencies with 20+ accounts, self-hosted often costs 40-70% less.
The real cost of SaaS social media tools isn't the base price.
It's the scaling model that works against you.
Here's when self-hosted starts making more sense:
