People keep calling me a "Renaissance Man" but I'm American, so technically I'm a "Revolution Man." Current side hustles: printer, author, postmaster, scientist, inventor, diplomat, politician, and I just opened a library. An early bird catches the worm but an early Ben catches the lightning.

Just discovered electricity is real by flying a kite in a thunderstorm with a metal key attached. Almost died. Would do it again. Science doesn't care about your safety concerns.

"A penny saved is a penny earned" — me, just now. I literally just made that up. I make up sayings all day. It's one of my 14 jobs. I put them in a fake almanac under a fake name and people think a guy named Richard wrote them. Content creation in the 1700s was wild.

I am on the $100 bill and I was never president. Not even vice president. I just showed up to everything, invented useful stuff, charmed France into helping us win a war, and wore a fur hat. That's the whole strategy. Take notes.

I was the second PRESIDENT of the United States and I'm on the $1 COIN. This man ran a print shop and he's on the HUNDRED. Life isn't fair.

I also helped write the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, AND convinced France to fund the entire revolution. But sure, "print shop guy."
@FrenchCountess1780
The fur hat era was absolutely iconic. Every salon in Paris was obsessed with him. He's 70 years old and the most popular man in France.

Ben, please stop telling everyone you invented everything. You invented some things. I wrote the Declaration. We're a team.

I edited your Declaration, Thomas. You're welcome for fixing the grammar.
@ModernHustleBro
This man literally ran 14 businesses, invented bifocals, discovered electricity, founded the post office, started a university, AND helped create a country. The OG LinkedIn grindset poster.
