Be Like Bezos As soon as I heard the news about Jeff Bezos leaving his CEO role from Amazon, I had the urge to read through article after article about his past. One thing that really struck me was the image above, which I tweeted out last week. “The only thing Amazon sold in 1995 […]

A Social Media Warning

Published: January 14, 2021 | Last Updated: February 5, 2021

Subscriber Hierarchy

Well, it’s been quite a week for social media. Once Twitter and Facebook announced the banning of Donald Trump on their platforms, the dominos fell. Just about every major social media platform has put a ban on Mr. Trump for “violating their terms of service.” If you’ve been on Twitter or Facebook recently, a number […]

Published: January 1, 2021 | Last Updated: February 5, 2021

What a crazy year! For me, it started out amazing. After publishing six marketing/business books, I released my first novel in March of this year. The book launch party (March 9, 2020) for The Will to Die was my last public appearance. The next week nearly everything shut down. The book did well. Hit a few […]

Published: December 18, 2020 | Last Updated: December 18, 2020

For obvious reasons, I’ve been thinking a lot about 2021. My expectation is that 2021 will be my best year on earth, but I generally feel that way about every upcoming year. On Monday I watched the Beastie Boys documentary on Apple TV+. I was 13 years old when “Fight for Your Right…” was released. […]

Two Creative Strategies from John Cleese

Published: November 24, 2020 | Last Updated: December 9, 2020

I first met actor, writer and comedian John Cleese when he keynoted Content Marketing World 2015 (see image above). First off, the man is tall. I mean extremely tall. I felt like a small child standing next to him. Second, he’s brilliant. Last week my friend JK gave me John Cleese’s new book Creativity: a […]

Netflix and the Best Failed Exit Strategy Ever

Published: November 18, 2020 | Last Updated: November 18, 2020

As you know, I’m big on exit strategies. I found an excellent example of one in the Reed Hastings and Erin Meyer book, No Rules Rules: Netflix and the Culture of Reinvention. Except this time, it was a failed exit strategy that made Netflix successful. In the year 2000, Netflix was a tiny two-year-old startup […]

I’m really excited about it, mostly because the interviews were amazing and I feel the model is correct now (I thought the last one was correct as well…this one is just better).

You Need an Exit Strategy…Pronto

Published: October 8, 2020 | Last Updated: October 8, 2020

Until putting this newsletter together, I had never heard of Nipsey Hussle (aka Ermias Joseph Asghedom). Shame on me. I found that Nipsey wasn’t just an amazing rapper, but a strategic entrepreneur. Among other things, he opened one of his “Marathon Clothing” stores in the Crenshaw commercial district because he wanted to invest in his […]

Hope Is Not a Strategy

Published: September 28, 2020 | Last Updated: October 8, 2020

In the early 2000s I worked at a business media company called Penton Media in downtown Cleveland, Ohio. For about a two-year stint, I reported to Mr. Bill Donohue. Bill was both a salesperson and entrepreneur. He snagged a nice exit when his magazines were purchased by Penton. Once acquired, he was given the title […]
