RollPros

Bridging the gap between innovative cannabis companies and automated pre-roll technology.

My passion for motorsports taught me that precision and performance matter – principles I bring to cannabis market development at RollPros. When I'm not at industry events or connecting with cannabis leaders, you'll find me at the track or exploring ways to optimize health and recovery.

At RollPros, I help cannabis manufacturers discover how our Blackbird pre-roll machine transforms production efficiency. Nothing beats seeing a client's face when they realize what's possible with the right automation.

Curious about elevating your pre-roll game? 

Let's connect at the next cannabis expo or hop on a call to explore how the Blackbird can revolutionize your operation.

People are always asking me about how to generate millions of impressions on LinkedIn.

"How have you generated 5 million impressions in the last 24 months and gotten to 14,000 followers... even though just last year you were an SDR at a random SaaS company?"

It always comes down to one thing: 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆. 

When I tell them that, they always ask: "𝘞𝘦𝘭𝘭, 𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘴𝘰 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘵? 𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘥𝘰 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘨𝘦𝘵 𝘣𝘶𝘳𝘯𝘵 𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘪𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘰𝘧 𝘪𝘵 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦?"

The answer, my friends, is quite simple:

I'm a raging narcissist, and without massive amounts of attention and praise, I simply shrivel up and die.

Hope this helps! 🙏

Why eating lunch is grounds for termination at Cyft

Most companies are still stuck in the old paradigm of "eating food" for lunch. Not us.

At Cyft, we've optimized the midday experience to its pure essence: one caffeine pill, one ashwagandha pill, and one Huel Black Edition Iced Coffee (27g complete protein, 35g carbs, every vitamin humanity has discovered). 

That's it. That's lunch.

We had an epiphany at IT Nation last year. While our competitors were at the Orlando Ruth's Chris, cutting wagyu and discussing quarterly targets, we realized something profound: every minute they spent chewing was a minute we could spend shipping.

Every steak knife stroke was a cold call we could make. Every sip of an $18 old fashioned was a feature we could deploy. They were optimizing for Michelin stars. We were optimizing for market domination.

At Cyft, we made a philosophical decision that would change everything: we refused to choose
between eating steak and making cold calls. 

The math is simple. Competitors: 90 minutes at steakhouse = 0 deals closed. Cyft: 90 seconds of nutritional intake = 88.5 minutes of pure, unbridled productivity.

When we first rolled out The Cyft Lunch Protocol, some early team members had questions. 

"But I'm hungry." 
"My doctor said I need to cut my caffeine intake." 
"This doesn't feel like food."

And we sat them down and explained something crucial: you're not hungry for food. You're hungry for impact. You're hungry for market share. You're hungry for an exit that'll make your grandkids' grandkids financially secure. So that they can eat solid food never have the burden of knowledge that Soylent Green was a documentary. 

If you want to satisfy that hunger, the path is clear: pharmaceutical-grade nutrition, zero friction, maximum velocity.

As for the caffeine concerns? We care deeply about our team's health. That's why we now have Cyft Wellness Solutions, a preferred provider network of forward-thinking medical professionals who understand the demands of hypergrowth. Whatever your previous doctor was optimizing for, our providers are optimizing for peak performance within safe biological parameters.

It's not about ignoring medical advice. It's about getting medical advice from doctors who get it.
Zero chewing time. Zero decision fatigue. Zero walking to restaurants like some kind of pre-industrial peasant. 

Those saved 47 minutes per day? That's 3.9 hours per week. That's 203 hours per year. That's essentially an entire extra month of productivity we've unlocked by simply refusing to participate in the archaic ritual of "lunch."

The future isn't coming. We're drinking it.

And while our competitors are still asking "How would you like that cooked?", we're asking their prospects, "When can we get you onboarded?"

optimal founding team for a SaaS co:

• CEO (diagnosed narcissist, would be a serial killer if they weren't building SaaS) 
• 1 engineer that spends 10k/mo on cursor bill
• 5 zoomers with ZVE10s running a tiktok bot farm on the shelf where they used to have their bitcoin miner

You may not like it, but this is what peak VC backed performance looks like

Why work at a startup? 


To work on cool technology? Yes

To help people? Of course.

To build from scratch? Certainly.

But mainly to make money :) 

It's ok to want to make a lot of money. 

And in fact, if that's not your main goal, working at a startup is a really bad idea, because the pain and suffering isn't really worth it unless there's a real payoff. Unless you're curing cancer or something I guess (which I'm not). 

Some folks will say that working at a startup is a bad idea because chances are you won't make any money, and that's kind of true, but no one says you have to work at startups for 30 years, and if it doesn't work out you can always go do some ZogCorp and make a bunch of money. 

If I went into big corpo saas sales I'd wipe the walls with the competition like I've done at every other sales job I've had and probably make a bunch of money doing it. I just wouldn't be as happy as I would working at a place where I can build from scratch. 

More likely path for me after this is that I raise some money and start my own company, and I have some ideas about that. Tiny home SaaS, water tower SaaS, public works, things that would benefit society as a whole and not just the tech bros. 

Also, I work at startups so I can buy a compound in the desert where I can have 10 dogs and 10 motorcycles.

I keep seeing people say AI is just token prediction or a fancy Google search.

Your brain is just neurons firing in chemical reactions. Individual neurons don't think. You've got 86 billion of them with stochastic activity at the micro-level creating what looks like free will and decision-making. Tokens in an LLM work similarly. One token means nothing. Billions of them in sequence create something that appears to reason. AI doesn't have that same level of sophistication yet but it's starting to resemble neural activity as it gets more advanced.

This morning I had another crash playing the new Dying Light game. Instead of spending hours on Reddit threads, I had Cursor write me a full diagnostic toolkit. Automated BIOS update prep targeting a known Ryzen 9000 memory controller instability. Cursor downloaded the BIOS update file, unzipped it, and moved it to the correct flash drive for me. Scripts that parse crash dumps and Event Viewer logs. 

A gaming mode script that kills memory-hogging background processes before launch. 

GPU driver updater that runs silently in the background. 

Working PowerShell scripts running on my machine right now.

I never thought to automate Windows via scripting. When I think coding I think web apps. Turns out you can just automate your entire PC.

I also built a complete marketing lifecycle dashboard this weekend. Full web app from scratch in Cursor, deployed to Railway so my full team has access. APIs pulling from Google Analytics, LinkedIn, Search Console, and our payment processor. Shows the entire funnel from content impressions to paying customers. 

Marketing attribution is a massive unsolved problem and I don't have all the answers. What I do have is better data than most paid tools because I'm pulling directly from source APIs. Now all that information lives somewhere I can have AI dissect it and give me funnel optimization suggestions using natural language queries.

The optimal form factor for AI isn't the ChatGPT window. It's the browser. The OS. Eventually the physical world with robots. Having the thing that writes working code living in the same environment where you need the code to run.

I'm a sales guy who can now automate anything on my computer and build whatever I need.

"Does AI actually know how to reason?" is quickly becoming a semantic argument. AI can reason better than I can in many areas. Maybe it's simulating. Maybe it's predicting tokens. 

What are my neurons doing? Reacting to stimuli. Unless we're talking about something metaphysical, the distinction matters less when the outcomes are identical. AI is more connected to reality than the average human being. More objective. More aware of the world and the truth than most humans are.

People are still debating whether this counts as real intelligence. I don't really care. My personal experience with AI has been so transformative that the details are somewhat unimportant.

IYKYK

I've been watching a lot of vendors rush to solve Level 1 support automation for MSPs, and I think we're collectively solving the wrong problem.

Multiple MSP owners pushed back hard on the idea in this Reddit post. "Customers pay for service. Removing service removes customers."

Most T1 tickets aren't technical problems to automate away. They're "hey I need help with this thing in Windows, can you explain it to me?" not "I have a printer IP conflict can you please restart my server." People are confused. They don't know how to log in. They need reassurance. There aren't a bunch of action items that can be codified into workflows and automated away.

Simply resolving tickets doesn't build emotional stickiness with your clients. T1 interactions are where you build value over time, get to know your clients, and find opportunities for projects and upsells. This isn't an interaction you want to eliminate entirely, even if it becomes technically possible to automate it.

If you're deploying the same workflow automation platform as every other MSP, you are a commodity. The same chatbot on your website. The same automated scripts. Your clients can't tell you apart from the thousand other MSPs out there. MSPs are already commodified in too many ways. Why accelerate that race to the bottom?

The current vendor landscape reflects this misunderstanding. Very high implementation requirements. Brittle workflow builders that require constant maintenance. These systems are fundamentally deterministic, trying to replace humans by codifying every possible decision path.

At Cyft, we're building Service Intelligence, which works differently. Workflow builders are deterministic systems with fixed logic. AI has infinite possibilities. Service Intelligence harnesses those infinite possibilities to pick the right solution in the moment. Sometimes that means the AI selecting a deterministic workflow based on its reasoning. Sometimes it means surfacing the exact knowledge your tech needs. Sometimes it means providing context that transforms how they handle the interaction.

The human stays in control. Builds the relationship. The AI makes them dramatically more capable. That's differentiation. Your techs deliver genuinely better service because they have knowledge, context, and capabilities that feel like superpowers.

As culture changes and we develop higher expectations for AI than humans on the CS side of businesses, people will talk to AI. I've already had positive experiences with AI in customer service. But that's few and far between. The sentiment will change, but it will be slow. The technology is still in its infancy, and we shouldn't bet everything on it yet.

So while everyone else is racing to automate T1 out of existence with workflow systems, we're taking a different path. We're betting that the future isn't fewer humans in support. It's more capable humans backed by intelligence that creates genuine service differentiation, not commodification.
