  • Repellant Marketing

    Think about how many people there are on the planet. 8 Billion, with a B, billion. How many of those people could you work with in a single year? Think about how long it takes to get them what they need then use that number to divide the number of hours you have available in…

  • When To Launch?

    “One instinct I’ve had for a while is that keeping quiet and then doing a BIG SURPRISE launch is a great way of getting more Day 1 hype than you would otherwise. But basically everyone with experience in marketing would tell me the opposite, right?” That’s from a person in my private group (Valeria.City). They’re…

  • Liars Are Better At Telling A Convincing Truth

    Here’s a weird lesson I learned in art school. Painting something unreal (like a dragon) forces you to be better at painting real things (like a flower). When you paint the dragon, something will look off about it. It’s probably something to do with the lighting. The shadows are all wrong. The highlights are all…

  • Be Yourself (but better)

    “I don’t want to be sales-y. I don’t want to be sleazy. I don’t want to come across like a used car salesmen.” Ok… Then don’t! There’s no problem. Be yourself. It’s a lot easier than trying to be somebody that you aren’t. On the other hand. . . “Being yourself” only works if you’ve…

  • The Art of the Most Valuable Skill

    As an art major, I took several drawing classes. Basic drawing, life drawing, architectural drawing, etc. So did 99% of other art majors. Whether they were going to focus on printmaking, sculpture, or painting it didn’t matter. Learn to draw. Why? It teaches you the basics of visual art. You learn how to take something…

  • Let’s not make this awkward

    He’s looking at us, isn’t he? AWKWARD. Try not to let him distract us. Did you tell him what’s happening today? It wasn’t me. ANYWAY. I wanted to say I’m not just thankful to have you in my life. I also appreciate our connection. Even if I don’t hear from you all that often, I…

  • How Familiar Are You With Projection?

    Lately I’ve run across a couple articles & videos about doing “Shadow work.” It took me back to high school when I first learned about the shadow, projection, and feeling “pressure” from others to do something. They’re all tied together, and they’ve been repackaged as shadow work, which made me chuckle. So I was curious…

  • Oh, you wanted a link?

    Whoops. I just couldn’t wait. Here’s the link to the brand new video. Give it a watch (at least a minute) and a like if you’d like to help me hack YouTube’s brain into showing it to more people. . .

  • Don’t Let The Nerd Talk Fool You

    Jargon can hide the answers you’re looking for. Consider this one: personal knowledge database. Mean anything to you? If not, it might be the single most important tool you need, but you’d never know it because it’s nerd-speak for “keeping track of stuff you’d like to keep track of.” Turns out there’s an entire community…

  • Science of Transformation

    There’s one difference between what is & what could be. Do you know what it is? Because in the world of particles and atoms, it’s all a cosmic-scale game of billiards. Their trajectory set at the beginning of time. Their destiny set before they ever existed. All at the mercy of forces set in motion…
