🚀 Meet Ashlyn Lem Garcia, a Toronto entrepreneur who's smashing it with her furniture business, 365. This savvy businesswoman transformed her passion for interior design into a thriving enterprise during the pandemic.

  • The Origin Story: Ashlyn started with an Insta page about unique furniture finds when she was laid off.

  • Niche Focus: She zeroed in on marbles and stones, making 365 a unique player in the game.

  • Restoration Queen: 365 stands out for professionally restoring vintage pieces from the 70s and 80s. Talk about reviving the classics!

  • Clientele Galore: From local celebs like Canadian Olympian Penny Oleksiak to anonymous Beverly Hills bigwigs, she's got clients lining up.

  • Corporate Appeal: Even chic brands like Aritzia are snagging her tables.

  • Insta Drama: Faced a shadowban but came out stronger; she is now thinking of a backup account.

  • Pricing & Place: Pieces range from $1,200 to $3,000—her studio's in the Distillery District, by appointment only.

  • More Than Furniture: For Ashlyn, it's about investment pieces that last generations.

Ashlyn's journey from a surprise start to a six-figure business is a total inspiration. 💡 What's your dream side hustle, and how will you make it shine? ✨ Let us know!

Why does it feel like we’re witnessing the birth of Sam Altman’s villain origin story?

Reasons for the company’s decision to fire Altman is due to “lack of consistent candor in his communications,” (read: he was lying.) This led to a loss in confidence in his ability to lead OpenAI.

Why does it matter? The underlying reasons for Sam’s exit appear to be more complex, disagreements within the organization around the direction and development of AI technology have created a rift. Sam has been a proponet of rapid development and public deployment and other key figures at OpenAI, including Ilya Sutskever, the Chief Scientist and a board member, favoured a more cautious approach, advocating for comprehensive development and testing in a laboratory setting before public deployment to ensure safety.

Microsoft getting their hands on Altman was not on our 2023 bingo card. WTAF? Is mercury in retrograde? 🌑
