The annual “Drive” event in Vermont hosted 400 B2B marketers over 5 days, with each day running 12 hours.

I rated the 2026 “Drive” week a perfect 10/10.

The AI Agents live session on 2026‑09‑04 attracted 1,552 registrants.

I keep the informal, authentic voice across all posts because it differentiates me from AI‑generated content and drives engagement.

In late September 2026 I shared a series of X updates that blend B2B marketing tactics with personal observations, highlighting a partnership with @exitfivemedia and tracking how large tech companies are building owned‑media properties.

OpenAI bought TBPN.

Anthropic's YouTube channel has 800k+ subscribers.

Stripe's cofounder hosts his own podcast, Cheeky Pint.

Stripe now prints Works in Progress magazine every two months.

a16z's newsletter has 250K subscribers & it brought in the Turpentine podcast network.

Microsoft prints Signal (a 120-page magazine).

the only thing I say is WHO not HOW. Everything is a WHO not HOW problem. The how is usually obvious. At least in my business. We're not sending rockets into space.

Once we passed 1M it’s becoming increasingly more about the how.

If you’re really good at your technical profession and also have a decent network, I think a full‑time person could probably double their annual salary by switching to freelancing. Which would pay for the $30,000/year in health insurance.

The health‑insurance premium rises $200 per year.
