Bookmakers have Charles Leclerc as the Monaco favorite.
My model has him third.

Polymarket: 30%
DraftKings: 33%
My model: 14.6%

(And yes — I considered the FIA compression ratio rule taking effect this
weekend. Monaco’s the least power-sensitive track on the calendar. Spain
in two weeks is where it’ll actually matter.)

Either I’m wrong, or the market is.
We’ll know Sunday.

AI isn’t a feature anymore — it’s the operating system.

Search has changed. Buyer behavior has changed. The brands winning right now
aren’t producing more content. They’re building infrastructure that produces
results without them in the loop.

527% YoY growth in AI search traffic isn’t a stat to bookmark.
It’s a signal to act on.

Comment OPERATOR if you want to see how this actually gets built.

Teaching my 10-year-old the Eisenhower Matrix. Most kids learn to prioritize in college. Mine’s learning it over breakfast. 🏎️

The best time to teach your kids systems? When they’re young enough to think it’s fun.

F1 killed its most hated rule. Then almost brought it back. 🏁

The 2025 Monaco two-stop mandate was supposed to spice up the hardest track to pass on. Instead teams turned it into a slow-motion chess match — backing up the field 4s a lap to game free pit windows. The FIA actually voted to keep it for 2026… then deleted it after everyone revolted.

So this Sunday it’s the standard rule again: two compounds, strategy back in the teams’ hands. And my guy Antonelli rolls in leading the title 👀

What do you believe will be the biggest storyline we talk about following the race this weekend?

- Virtual Safety Cars?
- Home field advantage for Leclerc?
- MadMax is back
- Kimi keeps cooking
- Ham
- Stroll
- Other

In 2006, two Texas fishermen built a $300 cooler nobody asked for.
Nobody ran a focus group. Nobody studied the market.
They built what they needed — then priced it at what it cost to do it right.

Three things Yeti did that your brand probably hasn’t:
→ Owned a niche completely before touching a broad market
→ Used price as a positioning signal, not a sales obstacle
→ Sold an identity people wanted to belong to — not just a product to consume

The cooler is almost irrelevant. The brand is why it’s a $1.8B company.

Comment “YETI” and I’ll send you the 3-question brand audit.
Save this for the next time someone tells you to just lower your prices.

The FIA changed the rules on Mercedes mid-season. It’s live as of
today.

For the first time in 2026, the FIA tests F1 engines HOT — 130°C,
not just cold in the garage — to close the loophole rivals say has
made Mercedes unbeatable. But it debuts at Monaco, the least
power-sensitive track on the grid, and even Ferrari’s boss isn’t
sure it does anything.

Fair play or a target on the fastest team? Verdict in the comments.
I’m grading every Monaco call after the checkered flag. 🏁

ChatGPT’s ads manager is now open to any U.S. business. No minimum spend. No agency deal required.

Here’s why this is different: you’re not buying keywords — you’re buying context. Your ad can appear right inside the conversation someone is literally having about your product category.

Beta is live. CPCs are reportedly $3–$5. The approval queue is real, so register now and build your campaign while you wait.

Comment “CHATGPT ADS” and I’ll send the registration guide + campaign setup breakdown.

Clark County locked F1 into Vegas until 2037 last week —
and the two reasons it matters have nothing to do with the Sphere.

1️⃣ California. 5th largest economy on the planet. 40M people.
Four-hour drive from LA. F1 just got a home race for the West Coast.

2️⃣ Every US and Canadian race is east of the Rockies. Vegas is the only
one that isn’t. Last year’s race drew 1.5M US viewers on ESPN — up 68%
year over year. New time zone. New market. New sport.

This is a geography play disguised as a real estate deal.

Max Verstappen called Monaco so boring he radioed
his team: “I should’ve brought my pillow.”

Formula 1’s most famous race is also its most frustrating —
the streets are so narrow almost nobody can pass.
Drivers have called it the most boring race ever.
And they all still dream of winning it.

The 2026 twist: F1 just made the biggest rule changes
in its history — smaller cars + a smarter system
replacing DRS — built to fix exactly this.
But Monaco switched that system off for this race.
F1 built the fix. Monaco said not yet.

My call for June 7th:
🥇 Antonelli 🥈 Russell 🥉 Leclerc 🇲🇨 —
the hometown hero who could break the Mercedes streak.
