I can relate to this. I publish a newsletter for about 2,000 UK agency owners. I have a high open rate (45%) because the emails are really stories about other agencies, rather than about myself. But it's really hard to overcome that &q

I've just ordered these, so I'd be interested in any opinions. (Ideally ones that validate my decision to purchase, let's be honest.)

"All Lives Matter" is Racism 1.0 thinking. But Racism 2.0 has been pushed out and – in some ways – it's a forced upgrade. Racism 1.0 was widely understood: racists were bad people who made monkey chants on football terraces.

I have to disagree. I enjoyed the use of metaphor, and actually highlighted several on my Kindle. # "Zuck had once famously derided [Twitter] as 'a clown car that drove into a gold mine'" # "One of the Harvard mafio

The success of Joe Rogan is fascinating and encouraging. For a long time there was a view that attention spans were diminishing. Facebook and Tik Tok reduced content to the smallest possible dosage. But look at this. This is one of the worl
