@steeder10 I’d love a copy, thank you!

I'm doing a COACHING CLINIC for Middle School/Varsity coaches tomorrow. The following topics will be covered: Philosophy/Pillars Constraints/SSGs Analytics and Youth basketball Tactical/Technical teaching Will be roughly an hour long with a PowerPoint. I'm trying to get a video copy as well. Feel free to comment or DM me if you'd like a copy of either, obviously no cost.

@TyMartinCRE Jim Gaffigan did a hilarious bit on drinking vs using mayonnaise. If you need a laugh during the journey, check it out. Keep going, it just gets better.

Dealing with this right now!

@RBIAgent Let’s not talk about the turnover that caused the game to be tied…. He’s a gem, I agree, that was a big learning moment and a good response.

If he has a game like this in March, build his statue. Hang his jersey in the rafters. Kid is a legend.

@nicholosberry Confirmation bias is deadly in early stage. Need more challenging conversations than picking stages.

Pick your brain = ask you a bunch of questions for free and ignore everything you say

@GOBrowns314 @JaysonNickol We did 36 @ Kingsbarns too. The course stole the show.

@Coach_ZG @JaysonNickol I’m heading to the Land in May, SCOTLAND! Carnoustie x2, Kingsbarn x2, Old, New and Jubilee … + Monefieth and Panmure It’s gonna be a great time!

Ok golfers. Need your help turning 40 this June. I know some places may already be booked. But give me your best guys 40th golf trip ideas. #golftrip #golfing

@bradleyflowers Officially identifying as an insuretech bro so I can spend a week with Portal.

If the average insurtech bro spent a week at my agency (or any for that matter) they would have a shocking realization that disruption isn’t going to be as easy as they thought and that they barely have scratched the surface. No that’s not an open invite.

@bradleyflowers Meh on the logo. Golf logos are hit or miss. This one is a miss. Will I still buy one? Most definitely.

Must. Have. Hoodie.

@bradleyflowers Kids are like podcasts. If you invest in them, they are beautiful regardless of the metrics and outside opinion.

Kids are like insurance podcasts. They are really easy to make and not everyone should have one.

@nicholosberry Your brand is the story people tell themselves about you and the expectations they have about what you’re going to be like when you walk in the room…

The best marketing advice I ever got is _________

Got you 👊🏻 Happy to help any way I can!

@kyle_brouse Call me this afternoon, happy to help however I can!

@wshaw_9 I try to write like I speak. I’ve never said “warm regards”, “regards” in person… can’t find a reason to do it via email.

Are we in agreement that "Warm Regards" as an email sign off, is terrible? I just spent 5 min legitimately thinking about this. Gimme a 'thanks', or what I use 'cheers', or 'best'. Warm regards? Nope

@kyle_brouse Nothing about insurance 🤣 Been the secret to our presentations for years.

Social media is a noisy space. The masses can convince you to review your metrics often, and it's not a bad idea depending on your goals. For most of us, me included, social media should be a place to speak your mind and develop a community that enjoys your perspective. Onward.

By the end of the day I had doubled my newsletter audience, yet the post still sat there "unseen" by the vast majority. My buddy texted me back and said: "There's a lot that I would do differently, but the post is in your tone and your style, so who cares?" There's the answer.

I texted a buddy and asked him what he would do with the post. Would he re-word the post? Add an image or a GIF? His entire text back: "Whatever you do, don't take it down. I'll be in touch later..." I moved on to other things and figured I'd revisit the idea at night.

I doubled my newsletter audience with a post that "failed" yesterday. According to the metrics provided by @LinkedIn it was my worst performing post in the last year. A few comments, a few engagements, very low view count.

@jayclouse @JesseItzler @ShaanVP @thesamparr One of my favorite “deep-dives” of MFM. I love when they let their guests speak their truth so others can hear their passion. Jesse is so good, he has so much why behind his actions. Thanks for summarizing/clipping this out, good reminder.

You can build 1,000 relationships this year in just 3 minutes per day. I can't stop thinking about this. @JesseItzler shared his approach to building relationships on My First Million with @ShaanVP and @thesamparr. As I've gotten older, I've noticed that fewer people go first in sending the message or making plans. I'm guilty of it. Jesse goes on to recommend three types of messages to send to create authentic relationships: 1. Compliment 2. Congratulate 3. Console It's an incredible, high-impact blueprint. This is my most exciting goal for 2024 – start 1,000 conversations by sending 3 messages per day.

@csteng9 Jealous! No better time. Keep your head up 👊🏻

@Coach_ZG Haha! Congrats!! Living the insurance dream my friend. We are at the beginning of the journey. My wife and I opened a cyber security & insurance wholesale biz in 2022.

Matt and I gave a keynote in 2018 called: How to Obtain 6,000 Leads This Year I'm still handling calls and texts asking how to do it. I've yet to meet an agency owner that has implemented the system we described in detail.
