Two important ingredients for successful content creation
If you want your content creation to work, you need two parts: 1) Do something you enjoy doing: If you don't like how you're creating content, you're not going to stick with it consistently. For example, if you don't like writing emails (and the thought of it makes...
WiiFM?
There's an old saying that "everyone's favourite radio station is WiiFM" WiiFM = "What's In It For Me?" ... I agree. Last week, I got stuck in Toronto before flying home from an event because of heavy winds back in New Brunswick. It was midnight when they finally...
If The Avengers were R-rated
A debate was happening on social media the other day: "Would you rather the next 'Avengers' movie be R-rated or over 3 hours?" For me it's a no-brainer. Make the movie 3+ hours (heck, being a super hero movie fan I would watch it if it was 10 hours long). About the...

How to get a head start on your 2019
Robert Downey Jr. is one of my favourite actors. Can you think of anyone who’d make a better Tony Stark/Iron Man? There’s a funny meme that gets shared around every January that has RDJ rolling his eyes with a caption: “Here comes the ‘new year, new me’ crap” Not to...
RIP James Martell
I was shocked and saddened recently when I heard that James Martell passed away. James was a big presence in the Internet Marketing world, especially around affiliate marketing and podcasting. I enjoyed his content (he was fearless about sharing his opinions), and...
