I think a full-time job someday soon will be professional customer experience testers. Kind of like white hat hackers. You just go and purchase something and write-up all the issues with the experience for the brand and they pay you for it. And I'm going to be amazing at it.

This is what happens when you are obsessed with @zapier & you hate spending weekends planning meals and making grocery lists. Now, my girlfriend & I get an email every Friday night at midnight w/ a meal plan for the week, & a grocery list is automatically created in @evernote .

Let’s get one thing straight. Publicly expressing how appalled you are by today’s events is not being “political.” These fools want to overturn a free and fair election. They attempted a coup. That’s not politics. That’s anarchy. Get loud. Patriotism is never unprofessional.

Before you get the the glory of launch day, you first must: - struggle for days writing positioning - share the same information over-and-over again - go line-by-line through your launch plan Product launches are fun. But gotta do the legwork to make them successful.

So many people think they deserve something for any effort they make to get it. A promotion, money, 6 pack abs, etc. I find that really sad. Cause putting max effort towards a goal & then getting it is the most rewarding feeling in the world. & they'll never know that.

People that are really good at marketing aren't necessarily smarter than you. But they are obsessed with it. And that's why I love marketing. Barrier to entry is YOU (not a degree, not a set of tools, not being smartest person in the room). Get obsessed.

Problem in marketing: Marketer thinks "We bought something so I should get XYZ result" Part of the problem is over hype But the bigger problem is that marketing has become a profession where we depend on tools and not our creativity Are we just number crunchers or creatives?

Career Advice: Make it your mission to help your boss do their job. Push dont pull. Most ppl push – “I need this, help me, show me” Try pull – “How can I help? What do you need?” Cause your boss didnt hire you so you could take more of their time. You got hired to pull 💪
