Important Data Update 6.648 million! Another astounding HUGE jump in weekly US jobless claims … and well beyond the vast majority of projections by academic and Wall Street economists. Sadly, it’s yet another indication of the massive ongoing hit to the labor market whose immediate devastating effects on social/economic/financial well being will also have an unfavorable longer-term impact. Also serves as a reminder of the difficulties of aligning collective/individual corporate interests. #economy #markets #jobs #employment #unemployment #wages #jobless …see more

Kamal Ravikant went through a rare life experience. In this interview, Kamal shares how the pilgrimage journey allowed him to see the ‘new’ in life that is taken for granted every day. And the valuable life lessons that can be learned quickly but appreciated. (Listen to how a pilgrimage can change, and maybe save your life as it did for Kamal)... http://bit.ly/2kpzIoY …see more

It's been out for awhile, but finally found a snapbot on my last day in Las Vegas. Been intrigued by Spectacles distribution strategy and its integration with Snapchat. I didn't get the chance to grab myself a pair, but what are your thoughts on Spectacles, yay or nay? If you have, how are they? If you haven't, why not? …see more

When you stop telling yourself what you can't do, you'd be astonished at what you can accomplish. I spent today confronting the untapped power of my Macbook Pro, and finally produced a slideshow of images from the June 30th graduation ceremony for 60 midwives at the Edna Adan Ismail University Hospital in Hargeisa, #Somaliland. I even managed to post it on YouTube . I'm so proud of those enthusiastic, committed young women I got to meet half way around the world, because I know they're making their communities better. Their dedication spurs me to keep learning and growing, and to stay determined to make a difference.

DON'T MAKE THESE MISTAKES! Today I removed 15 connections based on these messages I received: 🤦‍♀️ One sent me a resume for a software dev role... I don't work in HR and have nothing to do with hiring. 🤦‍♀️ A few pitched their lead generation services... Lead generation and digital marketing are my expertise. I don't need help here 😂 🤦‍♀️ Tons sent links to their content, demanding that I engage with them... These people CLEARLY didn't read my profile & have ZERO interest in getting to know me. 😬😩 TRY THIS INSTEAD: ✅ Do Your Research: Find some common ground, initiate REAL conversation, and include a custom connection request. ✅ Compliment Them: Tell them something nice about their education, content, or work history! ✅ Invite Them to a Virtual Coffee Talk: Chat about a common interest and ask if they would be available for a virtual coffee to connect further. Get to know the REAL person. Don't just take advantage of numbers... I've grown my career on LinkedIn by being a REAL human, obsessed with marketing magic, neuroscience, and unicorns. Do your research and you never know who will change your life! Connect with me and let's have a virtual coffee or cocktail!

The one of a kind Twitter Awards - Gold, recognizing Apple Support's world class social & content strategy. So proud of the team! ��

If there is one thing that is really making me angry, it’s this idea that somehow every single death from Covid is totally shattering tragedy, worth covering in painful precise detail, while the deaths of 100 times more people each day are somehow less special, less painful, less significant. There is almost this sense that those who die alone from delayed surgeries, from undiagnosed cancer , from depression, from starvation, from abandonment or abuse are even valiant collateral damage in the war against an arbitrary new enemy that they didn’t sign up to fight. …see more

I've a sneaky feeling a huge number of new businesses are based on old predictions about lifetime customer value, old churn rates, and not the reality is that loyalty is dead, cancelling is easy, switching is expected and people brought in with a huge money off offer, may be the worst customers you could ever have. I wish all these physical subscription models luck, they may well need it. …see more

Make.It.Easy. Most clients strategy for the modern age should be about these three words only. Make it easy to find, pick and pay. Virtually all innovation should be aimed at simplification. People today have an abundance of stuff, decision fatigue, and more disposable income than ever. From finding things to do on a Wednesday night, to upgrading car rentals to finding a hotel to stay in, to buying a t-shirt, work hard to remove all barriers. It could be as simple as adding "pay by paypal" …see more

It's weird how few amazing, strong and unique brands don't sell direct to consumers and force you to buy via a retailer. I'm not talking about CPG/FMCG brands that can't make the finances work, but fashion/luxury/furniture/design brands that could easily forge stronger relationships direct.

2020 could be a year of higher bad loans, more recovery, relatively stronger bank balance sheets, low credit growth and better-managed cooperative banks

If you’re building a product that requires repeat engagement, you have to answer this question: What’s the habit you’re trying to create? Answer these questions: 1) What’s the psychological itch that your customer or user seeks to scratch? 2) What’s the external trigger that prompts the user to action? 3) What’s the key action and how can it be made simpler? 4) Are you scratching the user’s itch and yet leaving them wanting more? 5) Is the user investing in the product by making it better with use? Any good examples of habit-forming products that come to mind for you? #ProductDesign #UX #Simplicity #Innovation …see more

I’m going to keep this short. This has been a rough and wild year. For each and every one of us. Before closing down in October, about half of our revenue was from personal branding clients (mostly focused on LinkedIn but we did other work as well). We made a lot of people a lot of money 😅. I don’t want that system to go to waste. So I’m giving it away for free (for life) in my new community for those that review my new show before Monday. Details on what the community will look like and what I need from you in this newsletter. #justQ 🖖🏽🖤 …see more

Someone sent me an Instagram message yesterday letting me know that I made it into Gary Vaynerchuk's video and podcast. I freaked out a bit when I met him. And I asked myself why? And here is what I decided. I can go back and pinpoint the moment that he impacted my life and my career. That's influence. And he is doing it at scale, which is incredible to me. In this newsletter I dive into a latest event, week one of the new podcast and learnings, influence, and my findings from listening to one of your podcasts. Dear Strange People is a newsletter where I dive deep into the decisions that I am making (and learnings) when it comes to my personal brand, community, and business. #justQ 🖖🏾🖤 …see more
