Alright. This is an exciting one — thanks to the hard work of @c_gro , our company Respoke Collection got featured in the September edition of Road and Track! Very cool seeing our little idea in such an iconic magazine. Thanks to @KyleKinard for the write up!

From ~ 200 Creative Strategist interviews, here's what we see for salaries across different years of experience.**

When starting @ConstantHire I spent $15k on Google ads to drive new business. Zero new clients. So I stopped spending time on marketing & just doubled down on having a really good service for the maybe 4-5 customers we had back then. Since then, 80%+ of our new clients have come from referrals.

@mikesalguero @HarryStebbings Creative strategist is the title in dtc agency world

@HarryStebbings Where would you find someone like this?

The role in a company that everyone should have but no one does. A video growth engineer. They create and use short form video strategically to acquire new customers and hires. Whether enterprise or consumer, spend $75K on this role and it will be a needle mover. 🚀

The cost to "do things" will plummet over the next 5 years. You'll be able to build high-output muli-million dollar teams on a $200/yr Chat GPT subscription. Here are 5 predictions on how it will impact your team. 1. Entry level jobs are going to become obsolete (or glorified internship programs). 2. Teams will be smaller & 10x more efficient compared to existing teams. 3. Everyone will be "technical" (coding will feel like writing. deploying AI agents will be a Microsoft Excel level skill) 4. Bad managers will look at the cost savings on the bottom line of a P&L. Good managers will see this as an opportunity to overpay and get talent they couldn't afford before. 5. This will hurt overseas hires the most in the short term.

@DavidRoseHRL Actually they’re very reliable it’s a fluke

the thing about Land Cruisers is that you can tell people (as an owner!) that they’re not perfect—unreliable, even—and people will still go “actually they’re very reliable it’s a fluke” as you’re stranded for the 18th time

Hiring someone to run & grow a business with. We've been incubating it for last 3 months. It's been getting traction & solid feedback. Now we just need someone with more time to add ⛽️ to the 🔥 It's an e-commerce brand in the SMB space. Why this? • $20k+ in seed capital + monthly payment for you. • Work 20 hours a week to start (can scale up and down from there). • Opportunity for profit share + potential equity. Both founders have built 7-figure brand & have had exits before (in the e-commerce space)... will be a fun time 🙂 DM's open.

@DaveRekuc Workaround is probably to use tags (all customers who used a certain code get a tag). Can backfill data with apps like arigato automation

Anyone know how to filter for first-time vs repeat customers when looking at discount code usage in Shopify?

@markjenney @Russ_Wilcox

I’m planning a one year trip around the world with my family. The goal is to experience different cultures, live like a local, and do something philanthropic in each location. 12 months. 12 different cities. Where should we go? Has anyone done something like this before?

@MBTA_CR what’s up with train 158 inbound to north station? 15 min late and no updates?

@DavidRoseHRL 11-13 models have few-no issues. Earlier and later are bad

@Parenteinc I go back and forth on the 5.0 re: timing chain tensioners but supposedly it hardly matters. It’ll either need then or it won’t. But if I’m doing that motor, I have no excuse not to get an XKR-S.

This would be outmatched in every way by a stock 4.4 LR3 and a CarPlay screen

@DavidRoseHRL They are the best rovers you can buy. Interior just blows. 2013 LR4s are close to the same reliability but 100x better interior

Early LR3 though… I should look into those

@ClintFiore Reminds me of the starfighters that are privately owned and operated.

One of the coolest privately owned aircraft. Mig 29. Seen at Oshkosh. I know it’s Russian but owning one as a rando citizen and painting it crazy and going around freely wherever you want with it for funsies is as ‘America’ as it gets. 🇺🇸

@ertr64 @brajmahal

@brajmahal As someone who gives a lot of marketing webinars, this triggered me

@ertr64 I think it’s time to invest in some gear. Numark DJ2GO2 Touch – Compact 2 Deck USB DJ Controller For Serato DJ with a Mixer / Crossfader, Audio Interface and Touch Capacitive Jog Wheels a.co/d/5l5auqg

Last night I stayed on the aux at Friendsgiving for almost 3 hours, a new record. At one point I swear I saw a few people bobbing their heads a little

@CarGuyDad Offered at No Reserve- they’ll take a worse/less special car for the guaranteed sale.

I’m truly baffled the brains at BaT. I’ve so many nicer, rarer vehicles than this get rejected. This is a CL or FB at best.
