Salut ——> The N word, in this case, doesn’t end in R. Nor does it end in A… for the hip hops heads. This is a different word entirely. See, God has died. And it’s not for the first time. In fact, God has died and been born again many times. He is, like the rest of us, a part of the world of perpetual birth and death and birth again. Some may call this reincarnation. But…. there is often a gap. A gap between death and the start of life again. We’re in a gap now. The ancient world, and even...

Salut ——> This is the true angle.... or at least the one that I buy. Get rich quick sounds great for about a minute. But I've lived long enough to grasp that what comes unearned feels unsatisfactory. My mission (for now) is to grow my list. And if I'm honest, I don't really know how to do it... A lot of the advice out there seems kinda gay to me.... by gay I don't mean homo. I just mean that it gives me the ick. And gay is a way better word than ick. What's most icky (lol) is that nearly all...

Salut ——> A few weeks ago I made a decision to start publishing my writing online. I was in love (no homo) with email list guys like Ben Settle and Ian Stanley. (Do they hate each other?) So I had to write daily emails. And the easiest way seemed like Substack. I even bought my own domain. In my mind, I kind of knew it was a half job. I’d have to move it somewhere else eventually. But I’d barnstormed in and got moving before thinking too much. Well after 5 weeks I’ve left Substack. My new...

Salut ——> If you’re new here, I was a recruiter before starting in copy and email marketing. I worked both on the agency side and inhouse in tech companies. The tech companies were on the smaller side, circa 100 people. Now, I don’t wanna slag em off… they were nice people doing good work. But hiring for marketing was always super hard. We could get some good people in a specific job. But real move the needle people….. Jeez Louise So, this post from Nick (don’t know him from Bob) hit hard....

Salut ——> Occult PUA? Esoteric Rizz? A video had popped up in my Youtube feed. “Integrating your ‘feminine’ side makes girls chase you like crazy (Jungian psychology & attraction)” At first I thought this was a Trump Tower tall pile of slop. The video was less than a year old. Nearly anything with Jung’s name on it since the AI revolution on Youtube is pig slop. I swear to G, I spent at least a couple of minutes trying to figure out if it was legit or not before pressing play. Butttt… The...

Salut ——> Check out my subscribers. That’s my list. It ain’t big… and that’s being ultra deep south aristo polite about it. If I’m honest, I didn’t even have a plan on how to ever grow it. The first thing in my mind was just get good at publishing an email to my own list everyday (or nearly everyday). Volume my way to being proficient. Then worry about how to get subscribers. You can just do things or whatever. And then wham. I bump into this dream 100 idea. All the people I wanna have on my...

Salut ——> Have I mentioned that I like Ben Settle? If this is ya first time here, that’s a joke. ‘Cause I talk about el Benbo a lot. I like his emails. I like his philosophy about emailing. I like that his emails are never boring. And he has a habit of popping up with the right thing to say at the right time. Although, if you were to email as much as Ben, you’d increase your chances of popping up at the right time too. Something to think about… I’m on my 30 day challenge. I can only eat meat,...

Salut ——> I was out for one of my long walks this morning. Here on the Med, it’s still as hot and sweaty as a sack of balls in a steamy sauna. So, it’s best to get out into the world early. Take a dip in the sea on the way back. Some days I like to listen to music. Some days I’ll chuck on a podcast. And other days I raw-dog it and go no headphones. No matter which one, I still have apple notes ready to jot down any brain fart that wafts into my mind. This morning was a podcast morning. Ian...

Salut ——> I was pan frying some burgers in coconut oil. Creedence Clear Water Revival were busting out Born on the Bayou from my speakers. A dash of oil spat out of the pan and burnt me on the arm. And in that moment of (slightly moderate) pain an idea bubbled up into my consciousness. Write a blog on “useful info guys” vs “interesting guys”. I left the burgers to fend for themselves and quick-smart grabbed a pen and jotted down the thought in a notebook. I’m always paranoid that if I don’t...
