In the 1960s, 95% of the apparel Americans wore was made in the USA. Today, that number is just 2%. In one lifetime, we went from being the world’s textile & apparel powerhouse to being entirely dependent on foreign supply.

i love seeing people discover jfk jr’s george magazine from ‘love story.’ i truly believe he was ahead of his time trying to merge pop culture and politics for young people and would love to see george get a proper/modern rebrand because the covers were FAB!

Any minute now, there’s going to be an article or a video connecting the rise in “I hate polyester because it’s fake” posts to conservatism & a yearning for the nostalgic past. Which is not the same as saying people who believe that want to live in the past, but it’s in the water

There’s a flaw in AI marketing I can’t unsee. Today, I’m sharing findings that changed how I think about product launches. What buyers told us in these sessions made me rethink every launch I’ve ever worked on. We brought real buyers in to review the most-hyped AI homepages. They arrived curious. Most left frustrated, confused, or unconvinced. Here’s what stood out: 🤔 97% couldn’t figure out how the product actually worked 😬 67% wanted more real-world examples or use cases ❌ 57% didn’t trust the claims ⏳ Less than half would even try the tool Almost everyone still believed in the potential. But that gap between curiosity and trust? That’s where millions in revenue quietly disappear, before your product ever gets a shot. Watching these sessions forced me to question everything I thought mattered on a homepage. It’s not about features, visuals, or clever messaging. It’s about showing the real product, removing every point of confusion, and making the benefit instantly clear. Here’s what buyers asked for: - Show what the tool actually does - Share specific examples, not just big promises - Be honest about what the product can’t do - Use clear, customer language And here’s what not to do: - Stop leading with generic claims or buzzwords - Don’t hide the product behind a wall of marketing speak - Never assume buyers will figure it out for themselves We pulled in conversion rate optimization (CRO) experts and turned every insight into a step-by-step homepage playbook. Even a small improvement here means real revenue. If you want the full research, buyer quotes, and the homepage template, check the next post below.
