Mindset – Inner Game
Earlier this month, I went fishing with my high school buddies in southern Wyoming and caught this… That’s a 21-inch brown trout — a real beauty. September is a good time to catch brown trout. They spawn in October and November so they’re hungry and aggressive in September. The water cools which makes the trout…
Yesterday. Southern Wyoming… “Hey, Paul,” I said. “I think that hole is fished out.” Paul had been casting his fly to the same spot on the North Platte River for the past five minutes and hadn’t gotten a bite. If any trout had been there, they were long gone. “I know,” he replied. “I’m not…
It’s been 16 weeks since the EF3 tornado roared through our neighborhood, ripped the roof of our house, and leveled our back yard. Many of my neighbors’ yards got wrecked, too. But a few houses down from me, one neighbor has restored his yard to its former glory. No surprise, really, because this neighbor is…
This happened on Sunday… I was driving southbound on Kingshighway Blvd. in St. Louis, heading to the Festival of Nations in Tower Grove Park when — out of nowhere — a 1980s-vintage Toyota Tercel zoomed from behind and nearly rear-ended me. The driver was in a hurry. She zigged to the left. Then she zagged…
I bumped into a bummed-out business owner on Reddit this week who has given up email marketing. His reasons: 1) “I just get way, way too many emails. So I feel worried about annoying my customers.” 2) “It takes me about 3 hours or so to create an email campaign.” (Ouch!) 3) “I feel like…
Another day, another article in my news feed about all the jobs AI will take from us humans. Scary stuff if you’re not ready. AI is creating a world of haves and have nots. Those who HAVE experimented with AI, learned to harness it properly, and already begun to benefit from its efficiencies… …and those…
Poor Connor McDavid. He’s the greatest hockey player on the planet, a bonafide superstar. But earlier this week, he and the Edmonton Oilers failed (AGAIN) to win the National Hockey League championship. For the second year in a row, the Florida Panthers defeated the Oilers and hoisted the Stanley Cup. Now, media critics are calling…
OpenAI went down yesterday. That means ChatGPT and all third-party applications that use OpenAI’s engine stopped working. Did you notice? I did. And so did countless other panicked humans who rely on ChatGPT or OpenAI powered apps. Around 7 a.m. yesterday, I summoned my GPT-powered robot, B-9(?), but he was passed out. Too much tequila…
I’m suffering from toilet anxiety. And I gotta say… it stinks. The backstory: A 150-mph(+) tornado pummeled my house last month, and Melissa and I have to move out while we rebuild our roof. We found a nice house nearby to rent for the summer. High ceilings. Comfortable mattresses. GREAT water pressure. And a bunch…
A guy walks into a marketing forum and asks: “How can I embed a .pdf into the emails I send for my nonprofit.” The nonprofit has 600 people on its email list. The guy wants to send a monthly newsletter. He wants the newsletter to be a .pdf. And rather than putting a link in…
