Major pinch me moment

Post embarrassing videos on the internet and don’t believe anything other than “everything works out for me”, release the need to know exactly how + let go of the urge to control, and eventually it all just falls into place ❤️

Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story was INCREDIBLE

Last week Perez Hilton had a public breakdown that landed him in hospital. I’ve known him for 20+ years, we don’t see eye to eye on how to cover celebrities, and this isn’t my story to tell. But it made me admit something about my own career. I spent thirty years behind the byline. Putting myself front and center with Celebrity Intelligence changed that, and the audience becomes your employer. No HR department, just a constant stream of feedback, some of it lovely, some of it cruel, and once, an actual threat.
I spoke to experts and content creators about why this job costs what it does, and why it gets worse, not better, with time. 65% of creators report anxiety or depression tied directly to their work.

I’m on a mission to empower 1 million indie builders, who I call the Kings & Queens of AI, especially those building in public.

What is building in Public? It’s when you open jelly and post about what you’re building (not the edited, polished stuff you put on Instagram or tik tok).

Why build in Public? Because simply put, that is your competitive edge. Software is no longer proprietary. Those days are gone. Ideas are cheap. The ones talking about it, in the open, and using the public to hold them accountable and actually “ship” will be the winners here in this giant market opportunity for indie software.

It started today when I hosted the first Indie Builders breakfast with a small group of extremely talented builders.

What blew my mind?? The fact that I was the ONLY qualified engineer in the room. These are all people deploying apps and building in ways that were never done before. This is the future and we at jelly are embracing and empowering it.

If you want to join the next one leave a comment about what you’re building, let’s connect on jelly and let’s start building.

Indie builders are creating a new category of app tinkers and I’m betting big on this community to shape the future of software, community and beyond. Especially the ones that really build public.

I hope this inspire you to join.m the next one.

And Remeber, anyone can build.

Two years ago, Shivam Shah’s muscles were hurting. The 37-year-old former professional tennis player had been putting in long hours at the gym, and he wasn’t recovering like he used to. While scrolling, he came across an interview with Avengers actor Jeremy Renner, who had been in a horrific snowplow accident just a few years earlier. To recover, the actor had added something unconventional to his treatment: peptide injections.

“I thought…if so many people are talking about it, let me do some research to find out exactly what it is,” the Indian athlete recalled. Peptides are short chains of amino acids that work as chemical messengers, he learned, for a host of purported health benefits: better skin and hair, muscle repair, fat loss. And Shah wanted in, even though they are unregulated and his sister, a doctor, was advising him against it. “Doctors don’t know everything,” he said.

South Asians around the world are opting into the newest rage among biohackers and fitness influencers: peptides. But what are the risks, especially for a community predisposed to certain health conditions? The Juggernaut spoke to doctors, influencers, and health professionals to find out.
