People keep wondering how many more years of AI slop we need to endure before things get better. My answer in a nutshell: This is the slop era, and it's forever. Something new drops, and 10 companies ship a version of it by the end of the week. Everyone's stack looks the same.

You can lie with numbers, but numbers never lie. This is one of my favorite sayings, and I think it is a critical concept for everyone to understand. In essence, it is very easy to choose what numbers you share to tell a narrative that is completely untrue. Time windows

Too many people think agencies are bad value, and it is better/easier to just in house. If this is you, you're wrong. Here's why: 1. The team. Hiring quality people in marketing is brutally hard. I hired a senior PPC person last month. We had 1,000 applicants and the person we

I don’t want to say match types are meaningless… but they definitely need a rebrand. Broad matches to anything, phrases matches to almost anything, and exact matches to most anything.

Watch Twitter: I am looking for a specific watch, a slightly older Chopard Happy Diamond variant, and it's been a struggle. Where should I be searching?

Max one of the few people I can recommend working for. Team is legit. In fact, I’ve referred people who work there and they’ve found it to be a great experience!

I voted for Zohran last week. I grew up in NYC. I went to one of the specialized high schools as he did. He wasn’t my first choice in the primary, but a few things can be true. 1. He seems like a good person who is willing to listen and change his positions. We’ve seen this on

Does anyone know if there's a way to save settings on Amazon for return eligibility? My 90 year old grandmother ordered something and is trying to return it and it's $70 for return shipping. I want to set it up so she only sees things that are amazon-sold to avoid this

Tomorrow @NotZainAgain and I are going to do something that the vast majority of the DTC community doesn’t know how to do: have fun and drink. We’re going to talk shit about SaaS and build a joint course.

I still remember when we hit the $10k spend over 90 days to qualify for being a badged Google partner. I think that was 2015. A full 5 years into my journey as an entrepreneur. Back then, it was just me. We’ve come a long way since then. I pulled this data to include in a deck,
