  • Psycho American business card technique

    Ever see American Psycho, it’s an intense story about 90s yuppies and their status-based culture. There’s this one scene where the main character obsesses over the different designs of his and his friends business cards. He’s pretty psychotic about it. In real life, I see psychotic business card techniques. Like this one time at the…

  • Feeling nostalgic for 2014?

    Since it’s my Birth-Month, I’ve been feeling nostalgic. So I dug up one of my old computers to see how I was way back when… in 2014. Lots changed since then and just rebooting it revealed the music I illegally downloaded before I got over paying for things I cared about and the dozens of…

  • How to double your business explained in one sentence

    Let me stretch a bit before I attempt this. OK in one sentence, here is how you double your business today: Double your rates. (Phew. Almost thought I wouldn’t it boiled it down to one sentence let alone three words.) So there you have it. ​​Double your rates, convert the same amount, and your business…

  • C’est mon anniversaire, so here’s your gift snoochie boochie

    That’s right today is my birthday. (Same time as last year) As you read this, I’ve “gone ghost” for about 24 hours, I don’t like the extra attention on my birthday.Although, my tradition for a few years: rather than celebrate myself (which I pretty much do 364 days a year), I celebrate people I love.…

  • Allow me to introduce you to my friend Selena Soo

    Let’s go way back to once a upon time when I was young(er), dumb(er) and full of com…pletely green-eyed ideals. When I invested a few bucks on the top names in the “make money” industry like Ramit Sethi and Frank Kern. It was my first time spending money online on what I once thought were…

  • A warning for proudly naïve anti-entrepreneurs

    Starting today and through October, I’m going to talk almost exclusively about my friend Selena Soo and her latest course launch. She’s brilliant, and like me builds her business around people first. So there’s no more confusion, I want you to know I run a business and so do my friends. We like to pay…

  • You might as well paint a face on a volleyball

    Ever watch CASTAWAY with Tom Hanks? I’m remembering the antagonist Wilson… a volleyball. A ball with dried blood painted to look like a human face. It’s the only companion the stranded lead, Chuck Noland, has for years on a remote island. See, Chuck washes ashore with few tools and waits for rescue, which doesn’t come.…

  • Bestselling novelist’s secret to taking his books to Hollywood

    Had the chance to talk with Colm Toíbon when he visited my childhood hometown this summer. He’s the award-winning, serial bestselling novelist behind the hit movie BROOKLYN from last year. I didn’t know who he was, but I got to watch his movie BROOKLYN, and witness his writing approach to his many books. Since I’m…

  • James Bond is the worst spy ever

    You know it’s true. What tradecraft spy tells his full name to every single person he meets while on a mission? Maxwell Smart, Joe Condor, Ethan Hunt, and even Austin Powers keep “low profiles” with disguises and aliases. Yet Bond loudly proclaims his presence wherever he goes. Always seemed strange to me. Safe to say…
