Sign up for Daniel Throssell’s Emails

I recently met Daniel Throssell, joined his email list, and was blown away. I’ve subscribed to many lists and read lots of emails. I’ve never seen anything like Daniel’s. Funny, a bit strange, and loaded with great copywriting and marketing lessons. If you subscribe, you’ll get emails every day. Read them all — at least the first few. You won’t be sorry.

Why you think you’re right — even if you’re wrong

How do you make decisions? Are you prone to defend your viewpoint at all costs or open to the possibilities and spurred by curiosity. Julia Galef, founder of the Center for Applied Rationality, says many of us are prone to the former — more than we’d like to admit. In this short (<12 minutes) TED talk, she explores the difference between the “soldier” and “scout” mindsets — and why it’s important for us to understand the distinction. An important presentation in this age of civil discord.

(ware)HOUSE Concerts Song of the Day

I run a side business called (ware)HOUSE Concerts in St. Louis. Before the virus hit, I hosted concerts every month in a warehouse converted to an event space.

With the concerts still on hold, I decided last week to begin sharing music another way — by email. So I’ve launched the (ware)HOUSE Concerts song of the day.

I share a song of the day with the (ware)HOUSE Concerts email subscribers and post the song to playlists on Apple and Spotify.

Here are those playlists…

The Difference Between Simple and Easy

I love Christopher S. Penn’s blog, Awaken Your Superhero. One of my favorites. “Simple is Not the Same As Easy.” It begins: “Simple is not the same as easy. Many people conflate the two, as though they were synonyms, when they’re really not. Let’s dig into why.” This distinction is critical to achieve success. Great post. Highly recommended.

Words to PonderAntoine de St. Exupery, author of The Little Prince, said…

“If you want to build a ship, don’t drum up the men to gather wood, divide the work and give orders. Instead, teach them to yearn for the vast and endless sea.”
