How To Grow Fast On X
January 21, 2026

Neil and Eric break down why posting less but better is the fastest way to grow on X, reacting to a deleted Nikita Beer take on wasted reach and low quality engagement. They dive into finding your authentic content style, why over-preparation kills performance, how audiences perceive AI generated content, and why being yourself matters more than polish. The conversation also explores AI commerce, Shopify and Google’s Universal Commerce Protocol, cloud coding productivity, and how Amazon-style fulfillment will shape the future of shopping.

Key Takeaways

• Quality beats volume on X and social media

• Authenticity outperforms over-polished content

• AI will change commerce, but habits change slowly
