-Andrew Pawlak, CEO Leadpops. 

In my career I have started, run, acquired and exited multiple businesses and served many amazing clients as an advisor, consultant, coach and mentor.  

My clients refer to me as a “catalyst" who can "see around corners" and spot the non-obvious but simple business opportunities that create leverage and most importantly results.

I’m proud to help business leaders make bold strategic moves that improve profits and raise valuations through innovation, marketing and lateral thinking strategies.

I started adopting Artificial Intelligence in my business before ChatGPT was all the rage and have now helped to revolutionize the workflow of my clients by showing them how to use AI to unlock unprecedented innovation and productivity. 

As a keynote speaker on AI and Innovation, I'm proud to help businesses and Human Resources create Superhuman Resources by using Artificial Intelligence & strategic business practices

My Paypal got Hacked on Jan 5th.. But I actually made money from the hacker.  Here's what happened...

I logged into my PayPal account that morning and noticed $1,000 in Solana token sitting there which I never bought. 

The purchase happened 2 hours before I woke up. Thankfully, no money left my account.  But there was an attempted $100 transaction that failed due to secruity.  *Phew*

When I checked my profile settings, there was a new primary email there... 

The hacker had added their email as the primary so the receipt went to them, not me. 

They made a mistake and didn't delete my email or I might not have gotten back in.

I quickly changed the password. Kicked them out. Reset everything.

Then I stared at the $1,000 in Solana token that I don't care to own. 

Here’s the weird part: Paypal doesn't let you transfer tokens like that out of your account, you can only hold it.  So no clue why they bought it. 

I ALMOST hit sell to break even. But I didn’t not yet. 

The next day, Solana went up and since then it's UP 6% or $60.  

I wonder if I'm the only person who’s ever been hacked and came out ahead. 

BTW... this was the one account  (my personal paypal) where I somehhow didn’t have 2FA turned on. 

Lesson learned.  (Get your 2FA peeps)

Soon I’ll sell it but wanted to let this story play out and see where it goes for the LOLZ.

P.S.  Another security trick I failed to do on this account which I do on others and highly recommend to reduce the chance of a devastating hack is this...

1. Get a free email at Protonmail (very secure email). 

2. Don't use your name, use initials or code. 

3.  Change all your critical financial accounts to use this email, not your gmail etc.

4. Never subscribe to a newsletter or use for anything else. 

This way if someone hacks your gmail because you use it all the time, they can't just reset your financial and other critical accounts. 

Also... enable that 2 Factor Authentication on all critical systems. 

Them hackers are sophisticated.  If you've been hacked you know. 

And if you run a bidnizz, it's even more critical. 

(I have use my buddy Adil Adam Harchaoui company NVIT Solutions to handle our cyber security and they've prevented a ton of stuff. Affordable and Effective.  Hit him up or ask me for a referral if you want more info on that.)

Now to go back to watching SOL like a hawk.

And yes... I emailed the hacker thanking him for making me money.   

Hasn't replied yet though.

Consultant

Had a dream, found a mission.  Wanted to give my kids more than I had growing up and at the same time to help B2B Businesses to find consistent sustainable growth.  It all began in 2016 

Started out not knowing what the hell I was doing and then after making a lot of mistakes we grew the business and made it into Florida

Over the holidays we decided to break up...

I haven't felt in the right mind space to post about it

And this is taking a lot of effort to write

We sat down and talked about our 2 kids

And the unpredictability of the US immigration system

And how a cross cultural marriage (Colombia / UK)

makes everything difficult

And that's why we decided to break up with the traditional model of aging

We refuse to disappear into retirement after spending 40 years in a cubicle

We refuse to let AI diminish our skills and capabilities and will use it to amplify our impact

and MOST of all we refuse to teach our kids what they SHOULD do in life

While SHOWING them something totally different through our actions

They learn by watching not through what we say

I'm a 1981 baby and i'm seeing a real change in the way people are viewing mid-life

Are you?

p.s. shameless hook, i know

Well my post about getting divorced got 9k views:

And also a few visits from the ‘this platform is for professional content only’ police

Let me say it loud for those who can’t hear me over their blue sirens 

I get to define what ‘professional’ means to me 

And so does everybody else 

It’s not 1860 anymore 

Peace 

P.s I’m not getting divorced - see said post below

P.p.s I was in London last week and it was COLD

No alternative text description for this image

And once you realize it, you'll never be able to look at any 'course' the same way again

are you ready?

it's one line

never ever ever ever goes wrong

here we go

if you want to make interesting content then BECOME an interesting person.

done

saved you 10k

happy friday

Did Tony Robbins teach Alex Hormozi how to 'feel'?

This was a fascinating interview 

This came out of it clearly:

- Alex lives in his head (analytical) rather than his heart

- He's built a "push" motivation system (duty, obligation) rather than a "pull" system (genuine desire)

Tony helped him and at times Alex admitted he didn't get it

Most valuable content i've seen in years and makes you realize why the feed here can be so soulless

Did you see it?  Are you a hustle fan?

Uber charges more if your phone battery is below 25%

Kroger sets grocery prices based on area 

Soon to be based on time of day

This is called ‘survelience pricing’ 

All thanks to Ai 

and the people that gladly share all their data with it

Often say something like this in a righteous tone:

'‘I don’t mind I’ve got nothing to hide’’

Thanks Dave - great job

Your beer is now 300% more expensive

Keep sharing

Do you shut off data sharing?

The fly, the window and the paragraph that changed my life:

A fly is frantically trying to escape the room by flying into the window

 because it can see the tree's outside but doesn't have the vision to see the window pane

It doesn't know its there

And here's thing

ALL It needs to do is turn around and fly out the open door on the other side of the room

And it's free

That RIGHT there WAS a metaphor for my business and I got it form my fave book (in comments)

And last year and then I received a gift from the universe and only discovered my open door 

It was a 'cease and desist' from one of the big social media platforms

We had gotten so big, we were on the radar

I restructured the business starting last summer 

And the last 6 months have meant less work + way more profits 

Sometimes the open door in your life is staring you right in the face and you just can't see it 

I couldn't see it 

I'll be documenting it on my new substack

We already did 1m views on youtube  and I love it because its 10-15m and i can really teach and build community

and i'm feeling called to write deeper, about what we went through making $4m revenue while bringing up kids

And the truth about hustle and it's limits 

reach out if you want a link 

And what was your open door in life?  We all have them?

p.s and the book is you2

p.s.s the biggest change was moving from platform based positioning to something else that's 'protected from ai'
