Wanted to say thank you to this community. I have never looked at it like us vs them, or old vs new Wall Street. This is one big community and we are all in it together. I do my best to share what I find interesting, build up others (vs tear them down like some do), share work (and give credit) from people I respect, and sometimes just have fun and be silly. There are bullies in middle school and there are Botox Bullies as we get older. It is how it is, but funny how one tweet can sure show a person's true colors. I've had so many people say kind words this weekend and it isn't lost on me how cool that is. Let's stand up to the bullies and keep having fun and sharing on here.

Wanted to come on since I had seen some posts circulating about my Midterms Prediction article. I published the wrong draft of my midterm predictions article on Substack last night. It was an old draft I started weeks ago, before everything with Shawn Ryan happened. I updated the numbers and graphics this week, then accidentally hit publish on the old file. I caught it within 20 minutes and took it down. I was on a flight, so the corrected version took a bit longer to go up, but it was live before the screenshots and posts started circulating. It has a note at the top showing what changed. If you read it in your email, please use the link instead. For anyone who missed it, the piece is my predictions for who I think will win and why. It was meant to be fun and to get people talking, not report on what is happening. The mistake is mine, and I own it and I immediately unpublished it and corrected it. If you ever spot something wrong in my work, tell me and I’ll fix it. If you’re sharing the old version, please share the corrected one instead. It’s on my Substack, linked in my bio. Replies are off so this stays a correction, not a debate. Now back to work, because it’s a big week for America!

Wanted to try Hermes but got stuck at “add your API key”? 👀 @witcheer shared the new Hermes Desktop onboarding: on a new computer, it starts with a free trial model so you can begin chatting and explore without an API key. Start with one useful job you can check: “Turn these meeting notes into a checklist. Include owners and deadlines where stated. Flag anything missing.” Compare the result with your notes: - Did it capture every action? - Did it invent an owner or deadline? - What would you need to correct? Already have Hermes installed? You can revisit onboarding here: Settings → Advanced → Desktop & startup → Run onboarding again The free trial is a starting point; check its limits before relying on it for ongoing work. Video credit: @witcheer. What’s the first useful task you’d give someone trying Hermes?

wanted to do a quick re-intro for all my new friends here on X. my name is Eric. i’m 20 years old and currently work at Flex, where i spend most of my time building our brand presence, driving distribution and thinking about the future of fintech + banking. i never went to college. most of my education has come from obsessively asking questions, talking to founders/operators and spending way too much time reverse engineering how great companies are actually built. somewhere along the way i started posting what i was learning on X. no real strategy. just posting genuinely useful content about fintech, banking and interesting companies building in the space. that ended up taking off way more than i expected and introduced me to some of the smartest people i’ve ever met. right now i’m especially obsessed with: > the future of banking > GTM + distribution > fintech business models > engineering virality still extremely early in my career and have a ridiculous amount left to learn. very grateful for everyone following along and especially for the people who’ve taken the time to give me advice along the way. if you’re building something interesting in fintech, banking or business, leave a comment :) always happy to meet new people!

Wanted to share my Grok @Bot Tutorial again in case anyone missed it. I've also made some improvements to it. It's a hands-on, 20-lesson course for anyone new to Grok Bot, with real exercises and tips so you get the most out of it at home and at work.
