Salesy mouks vs. Marketing squires (Who wins?)
Two types of friends in our lives. One friend shows up when it’s convenient for them, and the other friend is kinda always there.

Should I be worried about my wife and 3 kids?
She said: Why is your kid on top of the car? Me said: Because it’s a “son-roof” LMAO! I love corny jokes. If you follow me on Twitter every so often I have a relentless thread of them. I also definitely have Baby Fever and Dad Fever. (Is this a thing? It is now.) Been…

It’s a Q&A kind of day. When you serve enough people, you hear the same questions again and again. For me it’s this one: “If you email everyday, won’t people get frustrated?” Response: “Your customers won’t get frustrated. The mouk will.” I recommend emailing every day because it works.

Nobody likes you friend, Give it 4 years!!
Hey {your name}, Do you know a Michael Kitces? Hope not. Based on his essay on Know Like Trust, he’s not so credible. Yesterday, while doing research, I stumbled on Kitces, an expert financial advisor who is DEAD wrong about KLT and suggesting “it takes [4 years] time to be known, liked, and trusted.” He thinks…

Oscar’s KKK rally leaves 0 casualties
Facebook is sooo boring. Hopped on this winter to catch up with friends and family, and not much happening. Just a lot of people talking, but not actually doing anything. Right now, on my newsfeed at least, everyone has something to say about the Oscars. It all stems around it being yet another year where the…

Right now you have a choice to make. A choice you’ve been ignoring so well that you didn’t know you had it.Two options: 1) Be Safe! Follow the “rules” of being mild-mannered and non-confrontational. Appease the masses by being what they want you to be. If you’re happy where you are now, this could be…
