- Super pumped. Interviewed Gary Vaynerchuck last week for #THINKDIGITAL. The show will drop Wednesday of this week, but I’m releasing an exclusive interview question to my newsletter. No one else will get access. Subscribe here if you haven’t already.
- Help me help you. Take this BRIEF survey for better, more relevant content on this site.
- We watched “Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead” over the weekend. If you’ve ever needed compelling evidence to buy a juicer, watch this flick.
- If you want to connect your brand or message with an influential group of pastors, church communicators, ministry leaders, and entrepreneurs, consider sponsoring the Social Church Podcast.
- Bummed Penn Jillette didn’t win “The Celebrity Apprentice”. There was no way The Donald was going to let an atheist Libertarian beat a red-blooded Republican country star (who already lost once to Piers Morgan).
- Here’s how to develop a social media editorial calendar.
- Look at this simple system that helps generate online leads.
- Are you killing yourself trying to get to “Inbox Zero” everyday? Give yourself a break. It’s just a fad.
- I love this beautiful landing page for the Storyline conference.
- My friend Darrell has a free ebook “UNBLOGGER” out today. Pick it up here.

- This is why Millennials don’t want to buy your stuff. (Thanks, Vince.) Free unsolicited advice: this is why subscription-based businesses are the thing to get in to right now.
- Want a high-converting website (who doesn’t)? Do this. I mean these. I mean DO ALL THE THINGS.
- If you’re into EDM, here are the mixes that keep me going on a daily basis.
- With nearly a quarter-million email sends, do you know what the highest click-through rate subject line is? “Don’t cross the streams!” Amazing.
- Write social media calls-to-action that work.
- If you haven’t already done so, take a moment to subscribe to my social media marketing podcast, #THINKDIGITAL. Why? The confirmed guest-list is a who’s who of the online marketing world: Jeff Goins, Kristina Halvorson, Shaun King, and Pat Flynn, just to name a few! We’ve got some serious surprises cooked up for you.
- Anil Dash’s talk at #BigOmaha was off the chain. Check it out here.
- Speaking of #BigOmaha, there was some controversy over Dave McClure’s talk. Well-placed profanity can accentuate and perfectly punctuate a talk. When it’s done in excess, or there’s no real purpose, it gets in the way. Oh, and you probably shouldn’t call a female conference attendee a “b*tch.” That never helps.
- ALSO speaking of #BigOmaha, I became a huge fan of AppSumo’s Noah Kagan after hearing him speak. Super vulnerable and real. I’m lobbying to get him on #THINKDIGITAL. Want to help? Tweet him some love!
