I’m gonna say something I often hear: hiring overseas means a lesser quality hire. That’s bullsh*t. In fact, I bet many of our candidates at Oceans are better than a lot of your employees. Here, let me me prove it. Our overseas employees at Oceans are insanely qualified (aka the people you can hire). Check this out: - graduated from Fordham - worked at JP Morgan for 5 years And we don’t just source EAs. We source everything from Finance and Accounting, to Shopify Development and Growth Marketing. If you want to hire talent like this across your company, check out Oceans

7 products that I am loving: 1. Kubera – Being in control of your personal finances feels amazing. This is my favorite way to track net worth 2. Wolf & Shepherd (Wolf & Shepherd ) – I wanted a pair of shoes comfortable enough to walk long distances, but nice enough to wear to dinner. Loving these. 3. Fuel Finance (Fuelfinance) – Just did a demo with these guys and super impressed. If you want to outsource your company's finances, use them. 4. Oceans ( Oceans) – Hiring overseas is a game-changer. But lots of overseas hiring firms source bad talent. At Oceans, we source all of our candidates from Sri Lanka, which is an incredible talent pool. DM me for an intro straight to the CEO. 5. LMNT (Drink LMNT ) - I drink 2 of these a day. Not entirely sure what they do, but people say they're good for you 6. Momentous (Momentous ) – The Ferrari of protein powder. Super clean and tastes amazing 7. Beehiiv (beehiiv) – Just started crafting my first newsletter on Beehiiv. The product is really slick. I taught Tyler Denk 🐝 everything he knows, so no surprise its good.

The real risk isn't failure, it's mediocrity.

I started using Perplexity 2 weeks ago and have not opened up chatGPT since.

Silicon Valley's transformation from scrawny tech nerds to powerlifting jacked dudes is beautiful.
