Darn. The secret to happiness is not a donut. But I found this instead.

It was interesting to me, riding through the woods on my mountain bike during a short fast of about a day’s duration, how temporarily letting go of my attachment to food allowed me to look at other beliefs and thoughts from a position of detachment. That probably sounds woo woo…

How many hard working people do you know who will believe in anyone else’s dream but their own? How many talented and smart people do you know who don’t believe that they, too, are worthy of success? There are enough people out there willing to tear you down. There are enough people willing to point out your flaws. The last thing you need is to become so critical of yourself that you don’t even step out onto the field.

The Ultiverse. A short story.

A copywriter is a growth marketer: Or, how to land clients who will pay you more

Let that sink in for a moment. Especially if you’re a copywriter yourself, or if you fancy becoming one. For longer than I cared to admit, I was in the ranks of ‘broke ass copywriters’, getting clients in fits and starts, looking for work on discount marketplaces, and doing a…

Market value: $100 million. Cost of materials: zero. Arch-nemesis: vinegar.

Who said you can’t make something from nothing? A 26 inch diameter pearl, a glistening undersea object of extreme rarity, is now valued at approximately $100 million. That would be an even trade for George Clooney’s Italian lake house. But for all its value, this enormous pearl is composed of…
