I just saved my CEO from a headache with a simple webform. Here's how you can do the same: Last month, Ruben came to me with a problem: "I need to automate ALL THE THINGS, but I don't know where to start." Sound familiar? Here's what we did: 1 . Created a dead-simple webform that included 3 important questions: → What's your preferred interface? (Notion, Airtable, etc.) → What's your ideal workflow? → What's your DREAM output/result? 2 .I set up automations notifying me of his responses. 3 . Magic happened. That, along other answers to boring questions gets me all the info i need to get started in the right direction. Gives mr. Bossman a sense of ease i got everything i need to get my hands dirty. What's one task you'd love to automate? Drop it in the comments 👇 I'll DM you with ideas on how to make it happen. And if you want to dive deeper into building these kinds of systems, Connect, follow, all that stuff.

Replicating NYC Startup Vibes in Saigon. Back in 2011, it was a tight-knit startup tech community, and a bunch of us at WeWork Labs in NYC shared the same floor with ☁️ Mark Birch 🚀, Adam Neumann, 🌲Miguel McKelvey, Jesse Middleton, and Matthew Shampine. FUN FUN times. Mark and I recently reconnected in Saigon, and here are some highlights from our conversation about the Vietnam ecosystem and Marc's plans with Amazon Web Services (AWS) in the local ecosystem. - Observations on Southeast Asia's Ecosystem:  - 🚀 Rapid growth in developer ecosystems in Indonesia and Vietnam.  - 🔄 Similar vibes to early Silicon Valley and NYC startup scenes, specially in Saigon. - Challenges for Southeast Asian Startups:  - 🌐 Scaling to a global business from a regional base.  - 💸 Venture capital scene maturity, with most VCs being financiers rather than operators.  - 🏆 Need for more success stories to build a sustainable ecosystem. - Role of AWS:  - 🤝 Supporting startups from idea to scale through programs and services.  - 💡 Emphasis on a customer-centric approach and providing comprehensive support.  - 🏗️ Significant investments in South East Asia, including new regions in Thailand and Malaysia.  - 🏢 Building data centers, providing employment opportunities, and enabling startups globally. - Future Plans for Marc:  - ✈️ Travel to South America, Africa, or back to Asia.
