If you have never seen this, prepare for magic.

Tom Jones and Janis Joplin is straight fire.

If you’re my coworker and I ask you if you have three ripe red apples in inventory, and you tell me yes, and then you leave me three rotten oranges to pick up, you will be on my shit list because those are not the same thing.

Thanks for coming to my Ted talk.

*this didn’t have anything to do with fruit

Some are born with fire in their eyes.

All you need to build a business that changes your life:

A prototype is worth a thousand meetings.

If you write about a topic for 2 years, you'll have the authority to speak about it for 20.

Persistence is the answer.

“What evidence would you need to change your mind”

^such an important question to be a genuine thinker on any subject

You can now transform your static photos into animations using LivePortrait.

All you need is a picture and a video reference.

Here is how to try it:

1st time founder: I'm going to change the world!

2nd time founder: I'm going to change my bank account

Choose optimism.

Content funnels people into email.

Email funnels people into workshops.

Workshops funnel people into high-ticket.

One of the best business tips I’ve heard:

Always give a reason for your sale.

An offer without a reason stinks of desperation. But people enjoy being sold to if you do it right.

Pitch with purpose.

Clean code made a guy I worked with unironically create a function “add” that takes two numbers as input and returns their sum.

He wrote tests for it.

Ex Apple design leader Colin Burns talks about how Apple comes up with 100 ideas, creates 10 prototypes and land on one product/feature.

Most companies do the opposite. Come up with one idea, ship it and move on.

Relationships are simple when they involve two people who are focused on becoming the best version of themselves, instead of two people who are expecting each other to become someone they will never be.

The longer I stare at this Heading 2

The more I overthink

"Is it genius or a pile of crap?"

Sell anything but a product.

Sell the idea behind it.

Sell the story of its founder.

Sell the way it’s manufactured.

Sell the joy it’s brought to others.

Sell the benefits it provides to customers.

This is how you convince people to buy.
