We all live inside this paradox.
We have podcasts, books, and friends repeating the same advice.
Sleep more. Eat better. Move. Focus.
Yet our actual systems do not match what we know.

I've built an app from one good prompt for Gemini 3. This is wild, guys. LinguaLive - Your real-time AI language partner. Pick a language and start talking. It supports these languages 🇪🇸🇫🇷🇩🇪🇮🇹🇯🇵 🇺🇸

What should I build next?

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

Thanksgiving this year is mostly about gratitude for people, not metrics: teams that ship when it’s hard, customers who took a bet on us early, and the weird group of strangers on my newsletter + LinkedIn who now feel like an extended brain.

Logged off for a bit today just to remember none of this is guaranteed.

Shipped a new Vlad’s Newsletter essay on why the real “Manhattan Project for AI” is already live inside cloud capex and datacenter build‑outs—and what that means for people who actually build things, not just tweet about them.

Wrote about the moment every founder quietly fears: the day your life’s work turns into a setting in someone else’s UI. This piece is my attempt to answer, “How do you keep meaning when your product becomes infrastructure?”

Recorded a new Not Me podcast episode on why your electricity bill is quietly turning into an AI tax. Everyone talks about agents and copilots—almost nobody asks who is building the power grid for them.

This week’s newsletter was a bit of a self‑drag: the difference between founders who move the needle and founders who just stay “busy.” I broke down how I audit my own calendar and kill work that looks important but isn’t.

It's a go-to podcast for transforming your business into an unforgettable brand where branding meets SEO and link-building. I’m Chris Panteli, Co-Founder and CEO of Linkifi, and I’m joined by my co-host and Co-Founder, Nick Biggs.

In this episode, we welcome Vlad Podoliako, Founder & CEO of Belkins and Folderly. Over the last decad,e he’s grown Belkins into a 300-person B2B acquisition agency serving mid-market and enterprise brands across the U.S., reinvesting profits to launch ~15 companies across SalesTech and MarTech. Vlad advises and invests widely in GTM, email deliverability, and revenue operations.

Took a rare afternoon off and traded dashboards for a tennis court. Funny how a few sets do more for my decision‑making than another “strategy” meeting. Still human after all.

Honored to be named to the 2025 Global 100 – League of Distinguished Influential Leaders. Titles are nice, but what excites me is using this platform to push more practical, founder‑led thinking about AI, sales, and revenue into the conversation.

Woke up to see my name on the Forbes 30 Under 30 Europe list in Media & Marketing. Bootstrapped Belkins and Folderly from zero, so this one feels less like a personal trophy and more like a thank‑you note to the team that made it real.

Spent the day in a British museum; ancient artifacts made me reflect on the timelessness of good design.
