Friend.tech is a new social media platform that allows users to create profiles and post to their followers. It operates outside of the App Store and utilizes a bonding curve system to tokenize users and their content. When users sign up, they receive one share or key, which can be bought and sold on the platform. The price of shares is determined by the bonding curve, with earlier investors getting in at a lower price. Users can earn a percentage of the transactions made with their shares. Friend.tech offers a unique and decentralized approach to social media and content creation.

They discuss a new product called somni.tech, which offers brain stimulation for improving sleep quality. The speaker also reflects on the importance of quality talent and outsourcing certain tasks to trusted individuals to ensure success. They touch on their personal experiences with ADHD and OCD, highlighting the impact on their creative processes.

In this podcast episode, the hosts engage in a casual conversation covering a wide range of topics, from relationships to favorite drinks. They share product recommendations, such as OneSkin, a skincare brand that focuses on anti-aging peptides, and ProMix, a clean protein powder option. They also discuss their love for martinis and espresso martinis, with the hosts sharing their preferences for dry martinis with olives and the indulgence of crushed pints of ice cream. Additionally, they touch on the appeal of poetry and recommend various poets and collections to explore. The hosts also mention the benefits of cold therapy, the history and adaptability of coyotes, and a rice cooker that reduces the glycemic load of rice. The conversation concludes with a discussion on cellular data options while traveling abroad, with one host recommending Arolo and the other suggesting Google Fi as a reliable solution.
Consider investing in the Vanguard VUSXX bond fund for stable returns. This fund is 100% treasury-based and focuses on short-term bonds. With a compound yield of 5.32% and no federal tax, it provides a no-brainer option for those seeking fixed income investments. Avoid banks offering high yields as they incur both state and federal tax. By choosing VUSXX, you can benefit from a low management fee and the safety of United States treasuries.
NVIDIA and AMD are promising AI investment opportunities. NVIDIA, the dominant player in the AI space, is expected to reach a $3 trillion valuation in the long term. It is a growth play due to the increasing importance of AI technology. While AMD is more affordable compared to NVIDIA, it currently has an underdeveloped software stack for AI. However, they are actively working to address this issue. Consider dollar-cost averaging into these stocks, with a higher allocation to NVIDIA and a smaller portion to AMD. Additionally, keep an eye on Nintendo as a potential investment, given their valuable intellectual property (IP) and partnerships with companies like Universal Studios.
