Book
“Blind Fear” by Brandon Webb and John David Mann
John David Mann, who co-wrote the “Go-Giver” books with Bob Burg, has partnered with former Navy Seal Brandon Mann to write six books — including thrill thrillers. “Blind Fear” is the third thriller in the “Finn series.” My recommendation: Read the first two — Steal Fear and Cold Fear — before you dive into the third one. They’re all great. Get the audio versions, narrated by Johnathan McClain (fantastic!)
Movie
Temple Grandin
Melissa and I watched this bio-pic, starring Claire Danes, over the weekend and loved it. Born in 1947, Temple Grandin is an autistic woman who is “not like other people.” The movie traces her journey from confused and bullied school girl to triumphant business woman.
Resources / Tools
Harpa.ai
Thanks to my friend Adam Kreitman for telling me about this one. Harpa is a Chrome extension integrated with ChatGPT to give you an “automation co-pilot.” I’ve used it to quickly summarize YouTube videos. It can do much more — generate text for web pages (including social posts), summarize web pages, analyze content for SEO, etc. A very powerful and useful tool.
Events
How to Generate a Flood of Client-Attracting Content Ideas
(Wednesday, August 9, 3 p.m. ET)
This was supposed to be a one-time event — last week. But I had some technical difficulties and some who wanted to attend could not. So I’m running this training again this week. The response was great from those who could attend. So I’m happy to reprise the training on Wednesday…
If you ever feel stuck (or slow) coming up with ideas for emails, social posts, videos or any other content, this is for you. I’ll share strategies and tactics I’ve developed and perfected over 20+ years of doing this. Plus, I’ll reveal ways I use ChatGPT and other AI tools to help with content ideas and research. It’s better live (Q&A and bonuses TBA). But if you can’t attend that day, I will share a replay (minus the Q&A).
John David Mann Reading in St. Louis
(Wednesday, August 9, 8 p.m. ET, 7 p.m. CT)
Speaking of John David Mann, he’ll be in St. Louis (Ellisville, to be precise) on Wednesday evening to read from “Blind Fear” (see above). I usually don’t promote live, local events because my online family is scattered around the globe. But a lot of you are in St. Louis, and this is a great opportunity to meet and hear a great author read from a great book — at St. Louis County LIbrary’s Daniel Boone Branch.
