What Is "Note" Investing?

About Luke Peters: Luke Peters is an accomplished entrepreneur and the former CEO of NewAir, a company he founded in 2001 and grew from a garage startup to a thriving business with over $600 million in cumulative sales. His journey began in Fountain Valley, California, where he learned the value of hard work while working in his family’s donut shop for just 25 cents an hour. Under Luke's leadership, NewAir achieved significant milestones, including $80 million in sales in a single year and multiple placements on the Inc. 500 list. He successfully pivoted the company from a 100% B2C model to a multi-channel strategy, partnering with major retailers like Home Depot and Amazon. In mid-2021, after 20 years of dedication, while retaining 100% of the stock, Luke sold NewAir in a mid-eight-figure deal . Today, he serves as a strategic CEO coach, leveraging his extensive experience to help other entrepreneurs navigate their paths to success. Luke is also a father of six and an avid surfer, embodying a balanced lifestyle that values both family and business. His story exemplifies the power of perseverance and innovation in achieving entrepreneurial success.

🚫 Navigating Connections on LinkedIn: When to Block and Delete 🚫 LinkedIn is a powerful platform for building professional relationships, but not every connection is positive. In this episode, I discuss key situations when it’s time to block and delete a connection to protect your professional space and mental well-being. 🔍 Here are three red flags to watch out for: Negative Comments on Your Content: If someone consistently leaves negative or derogatory comments on your posts, it's a sign they may not respect your contributions. Your space should be supportive and constructive! Selling and Pitching from the Get-Go: If a new connection jumps straight into a sales pitch without taking the time to build a relationship, it can feel disingenuous. LinkedIn is about meaningful connections, not just transactions. Posting Negative or Polarizing Content: If a connection frequently shares divisive or toxic content, it can affect your network’s environment. Your feed should inspire and uplift, not create conflict. 📹 Listen to the full episode, as I dive deeper into these scenarios and share tips on handling them gracefully. Protect your LinkedIn experience and ensure it aligns with your professional goals! Let’s create a positive LinkedIn community together! Share your thoughts and experiences in the comments below.

With all the changes to LinkedIn from the "video only feed", to the discontinuing of the "LinkedIn Top Community Voice Program", it has a lot of people asking me, "What is the future of LinkedIn?" It's a great question that has many answers and opinions. For me, I see 3 things unfolding that could be a predictor of what is to come with LinkedIn in 2025 and beyond: 1. Great Focus On Content Creation 2. Greater Focus On Founders and Business Owners 3. More Exclusivity on LinkedIn What do you see LinkedIn turning into moving into 2025?
