Brand new interviews to learn from this weekend
If you're looking for some stuff to watch this weekend to help grow your business, I did a few interviews that were just released: Dave Barnett had me on his YouTube show to talk about bouncing back from adversity - we went deep in this one, and you can give it a...
Colonel Sanders and the power of a good offer
Some thoughts about Colonel Sanders, of Kentucky Fried Chicken fame: He started his chicken empire in his 60’s – he was 65 when he got his first small social security cheque and decided to travel all over the country to try to sell his recipe for chicken. He heard...
Sick In The Head
Since I enjoyed Judd Apatow's "Sick In The Head", a collection of his interviews with famous comedians and celebrities, I decided to pick up the book's sequel ("Sicker In The Head"). There's a lot that can be pulled from the interviews in both books, not just for...
No two businesses are the same
A tweet that I once stumbled across: “No two businesses are the same. Don’t do something just because it worked for someone on Quora” While I get the point that the author was trying to make, I’d argue that business is business and there’s no point in trying to...
Do you have a clear offer?

Success
I was introduced to The Blasters when I heard one of their songs played in an episode of "Billions" … I checked out their other stuff and I liked it. They never got really big, but they've been praised for their musical talent. And almost 50 years later they're still...
