Back on the Grind
It’s been 22 days since Noble Mobile was announced to the world, and the reception has been awesome. People love the idea of logging off a little bit and getting paid for it.
It’s been a while since I was a startup CEO. It feels good because of the enormity of what we’re trying to do – improve a $167 billion a year consumer industry that is gouging Americans to the tune of an extra $50 billion or so a year while also scrambling our brains. If we can get a few billion dollars back into Americans’ hands, change consumer habits and get carriers to adopt better pricing that’s a ton of good.
Our launch has been covered on CNN, CNBC, TechCrunch, Fox, USA Today, the New Yorker, Bloomberg and others. We have a ton of exciting announcements upcoming, including some spokespeople that will probably surprise you and some tools for parents concerned about their kids’ use of smartphones. Offline is embarking on a national tour that will take us to Philly, Brooklyn, Chicago, San Francisco and LA with some more dates to be announced.
On a personal level, it’s both familiar and an adjustment. I’m back in an office day-to-day for example, which is different. The last time I was a company CEO I tried to keep my head down and let others shine. But now, I’m kind of the frontman and when I get on TV a bunch of people hear about us and check us out. So it’s a mixed bag.
“Not many political figures become startup CEOs,” is how one person put it. Not many of us start throwing no-phone parties either. I’m not sure how many of the people reading this would enjoy reading about the ins-and-outs of running a business. That’s probably not why you’re here. It’s not really why I’m here either. I’m here to make good things happen for people.
One of the benefits of running a wireless carrier is that I’ve been able to do nice things for some people who need it. If you are someone who could use a financial lift and want to get wireless data for free for a month or three email matt@noblemobile.com to switch. We will hook you up. You can reach out too if you just want to be free of big wireless and want to log off and touch grass more.
“Data is the new oil” is something I said on the presidential trail quite often. Well, now I’m sitting on an oil patch and I’m eager to share.
Would like for Andrew to digest this chapter in "Every War Is An UnCivil WAr" and perhaps even extend UBI in "The Price Of Eggs Is Down" both 4th editions Amazon kindle or paperback. Less cost to buy than for me to send a copy. "Eggs" is a playbook for Democratic election victory, especially the chapter two text of the Medical Care Restoration Act. Lots more effective than M4a.
Thank you for all the likes for this plan to end Putin's War. We acceed to a legitimate market driven empire that does no allow armies to control but to monitor. Bring Putin into the world order with a few rules and fewer soldiers and weapons.
PEACE PLAN TO END PUTIN'S WAR
1. Russian and Ukrainian attacks cease. All Russian arms and military personnel either return to Russia (borders 1991) or surrender to Ukrainian forces, including Russian forces in Crimea and Moldova. All Ukrainian arms and military personnel either return to Ukraine or surrender to Russian forces. All mines are removed and destroyed by whomever placed them. NATO and Russia will avoid weapons threats to each other.
2. Russia is guaranteed unfettered commercial access to the Black Sea.
3. There will be free flow of goods, people and money throughout Russia, Ukraine, and Moldova. The terms will be standard contract law, a willing buyer and a willing seller. The requirement for being in this free trade zone is a birth rate below 2.1/1000 and falling, which it is for all 3.
4. There will be no WOWOD (Weapons Of War Or Destruction) move between or into or out of any of the three RUM nations.
5. NATO and each of the RUM nations guarantees the borders and sovereignty of each RUM nation and the terms of this treaty.
6. Russian pays $340 billion, and US, UK, EU, Ukraine also fund a special NATO committee to rebuild infrastructure damaged in RUM since 24 Feb 2022.
7. All sanctions are ended: All people may resume commercial interactions with RUM without interference from any nation in NATO. EU, UK or RUM.
This is too good for all involved to pass up.
