Howdy Reader! I’ve just recently come up for a quick breath of air in the midst of a chaotic whirlpool of travel. From speaking at in-person conferences, virtual events, and a European wedding, October is gearing up to be quite a doozy. But you know what… I’m grateful. My friend Rich Watts posted something a while back. I’d seen the quote before, but somehow, it never resonated with me until he posted it. ”Pressure is a privilege” Sure, travel can be stressful. But there are people who I have grown up with who have never left the state they were born in. I’m extremely blessed to have a business that allows me the flexibility of travel. Actually, if you're reading this on some sort of electronic doohickey, you’re probably better off than 75% of the world. After driving back from Florida, seeing some of the devastation from Helene. It really does put things in perspective. And after speaking at Momentum (a fabulous event that I need to see you at next year) and heading next week to Ecamm’s equally wonderful Creator Camp, I continue to be reminded, that it’s connections with people that really matter. So, I’m grateful for you. Grateful that you took the time to open this email, and read some musings from a hirsute dude each week. As creators, let us cultivate a grateful heart. I think it makes us more creative and also just better people. See ya around the interwebs, -Jeff P.S. I’d love to hear back from you! What’s something you’re grateful for this week? It could be creator-related or not. I’d just love to hear from you. |

Howdy Reader! Ever wonder about that nickname I always use for my co-host Conor Brown? You know, when I call him "Unsinkable"? There's actually a pretty cool historical connection there, and it ties back to one of the most famous maritime disasters of all time! If you're a fan of the blockbuster movie Titanic, you might remember Kathy Bates playing a bold, no-nonsense character named Margaret Brown. Kathy Bates as the Unsinkable Molly Brown Margaret Brown earned the nickname "Unsinkable Molly...
Howdy Reader! Let's be honest. Writing a weekly email newsletter never killed anybody, but why take the chance? 🤣 That’s just one of the excuses my brain was giving me just a few years ago. You know it's important to communicate via email to your audience (everyone keeps saying so), but where do you even begin? Do you need fancy graphics? A 20-page PDF download? Should you email daily or weekly? And the biggest question of all: will anyone actually READ what you send? I've been there, staring...
Howdy Reader! I've been noodling on a quote I heard from a productivity guru I follow recently. He said… "You're not burnt out, you're bored." For some reason, this has been bouncing around in my head for the past week or so. It's like when you get a song stuck in your brain and can't get rid of it. (It's a world of laughter, A world of tears… See what I did there? 😂) I think as creators, we all throw around the phrase "I'm burnt out" like AI throws out em-dashes. But what if that saying is...
