    My grandfather died some years ago at the age of 62 of liver cancer, caused by extensive drinking. He was a poly-addict. He had a heroin addiction as well. But the heroin wasn't what killed him. He got on methadone very early on and was able to hold a job, take care of his kids. But he never...

    IDEA SOURCING FEEDBACK 
    I've helped scale 2 different beauty brands using social media ads & my dad works in production for a large skincare company, I'll try to answer your questions as best as I can based on what I have experienced. Google, call/email, and ask. Simple as that. You're in the "information finding"...

    https://chatgpt.com/merchants/ I personally think ads are next. IT's inevitable. OpenAI is NOT making enough money from subscriptions and tokens alone. They need to find a better way to monetize. And with the amount of time people are spending having conversations with their sycophant machine...

    I wrote a long post expanding on this idea but then I remembered that MJ already wrote about it Chapter 19, Belief #2, The "Special Scam" aka "I'm Not Good At That"

    Is my idea for a giveaway campaign stupid to hype a new wholesale product?

    MARKETING 
    I helped a not-so-healthy food company this past year grow their revenue 80% and their online store revenue 150% while sales from farmer's markets have been stagnant. Turned DTC from 22% of sales to 51% of sales. Honestly they've become kind of reliant on DTC at this point. Every year before...

    I've never had any popcorn that didn't have this problem, except Smartfoods in Canada/USA. But I don't think it's air popped and it still doesn't last that long anyway. Caramel corn seems to keep its texture for a while though. Here people like caramel popcorn mixed with cheese popcorn, and the...

    Marketing funeral homes

    IDEA 
    If they have high demand and continuous clientele, why would they need you? One of my first gigs ever was for a Jewish funeral home. I've talked about it a bit before, but their issue (at the time, back in 2013) was that they needed a better website that could seamlessly switch between English...

    Action faking, negativity, I need advice

    MINDSET 
    View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zNePCoXjC4s This is technically about training, but this applies to anything. It's about building habits (despite the title) Why? Because it's fun. It's fun to play video games. It's fun to go out with friends. It's fun to consume content. And there's...

    I was reading a book called "From Beirut to Jerusalem" about the Israel-Lebanon war in the 1980s. One of the many stories in there was a story about a Lebanese businessman who found himself caught up in the war. He ran successful businesses in Beirut but they had been destroyed by bombs. His...
