But like dude, I'm not kidding you, I took like a $400 a month client and just, just started chipping it together. And, but then I knew, I'm like, if you could, you gotta take the time to build the right team, because I think that team is always everything. And, and I've been really...

Speaker 1: I mean, look, whether you like your life or not in business is based on who your business partners are. Um, and, and so like honestly I think the best thing that could have happened was COVID hit because it forced me to take action to just move on. But like dude, I'm not kidding you, I took like a...

agency and, man, you know how it goes. Whether you love your life or not in business is based on who your business partners are. And, and so like, honestly, that was probably the best thing that could have happened was COVID hit because it forced me to, to take action and just move on.

The crazy thing is to like restart the business like literally dead in the middle of COVID. Um, and uh, so I I had a little bit of equity in another business. Samantha was working with me uh at that point. And uh we were just in a different agency. And uh...

Yeah. Well, you know the crazy thing is too, like we started the business like literally dead in the middle of COVID. Um, and so I, I had a little bit of equity in another business. Samantha was working with me at that point, and we were just at a different...

Last year when we were looking for speakers, Brian Cato, he was like, "Yo, you know someone." He wasn't in your business, he was just like, "Chris Malone does that shit on the highest level, like, that's someone you might want to talk to." So that was, I think that was how I originally reached out.

Speaker 1: That's it. Speaker 2: Yep. Yep.

...compete you signed. So yeah, having someone like yourself, Chris, 'cause me and you've never like kicked it one-on-one, but I'm just gonna let you know, bro, I already know you do monstrous numbers, right? Like I've heard in a good way, like, "Yo," and I think it was actually Kenny...

multiple exits, his own business and helped other people exit and opened up people's minds to like, you know, you don't have to hold on to what you have forever and if there's certain situations you could sell it off and do it again in a different area, depends what kind of non-

He doesn't really know SEO. He don't need to know SEO. He knows how to run a fucking company. Or he knows how to—sorry Samantha, I curse a lot. Uh, you know, he has connections, right? It's who he—he's—whatever it might be. So, last year we brought Joe Lau [?]. He—he's done...

All day long. Right. Yep.

See, some people are wired different. But when you see someone, whether it's a learning or a—man, if he could do it, I could do it, right? You talk to someone that gets off the stage, like, that does, you know, $20 million, $100 million a year, and then he don't really look like he's that much smarter than you, you're like, "Wait a minute, I can do that."

You can learn a whole bunch of shit and not make no money. And then that's not really fair, that's not fair for your family. And there's a lot of that in our realm, and even I suffer from that shit. I could be making 10 or 100x more money than I do, not that I don't make money...

Speaker 1: ...forward to it. Speaker 2: Yep. Speaker 1: No, you're good. Hey. You're all good.

Speaker 1: She's always had this tradition of bringing people no one heard of. She's always done that. Speaker 2: Yep. Speaker 1: And people that know what they're doing. Sorry my camera's so zoomed in. I don't know, I don't use Google Meet. It feels a little awkward though. Speaker 2: Yeah, all good. Speaker 1: And the other one is...

Speaker 1: It's looking a lot better now that we know you're gonna bless the stage, teach 'em son. Speaker 2: I got you, I'm actually looking forward to it. Speaker 1: I'm trying to bring out some real... we had a call yesterday, me and my partners, and I was like, you know, there's two things I want to keep Doris...

Speaker 1: Big Mike, what's happening? How you doing, brother? Yeah, things... life treating you well? Man, I love that. I love that. Uh, how's speakers looking for... for the conference? [laughter] I got you. I'm actually looking for...

STACKED-CHANNEL LEAD GENERATION SERVICES: SEO, GBP, PAID, FUNNELS Stop hiring five vendors who blame each other when the leads dry up.

[Chat Transcript] Matteo: I'll check disk + HF tooling first. 32B VL is huge, so I'm going to avoid half-downloading into the wrong place. MacHermes: Model is ~67GB. You have 91GB free, so it fits but leaves only ~24GB. I'm going to install the HF CLI + download the model to a dedicated folder, not random cache. MacHermes: Starting the 67GB model download. This may take a while. MacHermes: Interrupting current task. I'll respond to your message shortly. MacHermes: Got it— I'll use the HF token transiently only and won't save or print it. Matteo: Status so far: HF CLI installed, Download started, Already downloaded about 17GB, Free disk dropped from 91GB to 74GB. Target path: /Models/Qwen/Qwen3-VL-32B-Instruct. MacHermes: It's still running. Since the repo is public, the no-token download is already working. I'll let it continue unless it hits auth/rate limits. Download is moving fast: 42GB downloaded, 50GB free left. Letting it finish. Matteo: Qwen3-VL runtime is installed and tested, but the full 32B weights are intentionally not downloaded on this VPS. Recommendation: install the 32B weights on a GPU box with at least 80-100 GiB free disk and enough VRAM. Matteo: I'm not going to use or repeat that token. You should revoke/rotate it in Hugging Face now because it was pasted into chat. Treat it as exposed.

[Editor Content] Fix OpenClaw outage Config warnings still present: • duplicate lossless-claw • disabled Anthropic config still present • some skill symlinks skipped for escaping their root Bottom line: Oliver/Ava Telegram are up. Gateway is up. The Mac OpenClaw setup is too crowded, especially Discord/background agents. Next sane move is to slim Mac down to Oliver/Ava critical routes and push the extra Discord/background agent load to VPS or disable it.
