4 years ago to the day, I sent this text to a girl I was pursuing at the time. We hung out the night before and she texted me in the morning that she wasn’t ready for anything. I earned myself a second date. This past December, I married that girl. We’re expecting our first in December. My wife calls it “the bamboozle text”. Best text I ever sent. It’s funny what a few words can do for you. Send the text. Write the post. Share your story. It might change your life…

@TS_Secrets ahhhhhh, I was pumped. Next year it won't be a joke though!!

April Fools 😩

I just got a DM from @mikeroweworks and @mcuban They both want to help start trade schools. I’m meeting with them this week. What should I ask them?

@EvaldSand Exactly!

@Poor__Old One of those things, that if it happens once it'll never happen again🫡

My recorder didn't show up on a call today. Took it for granted because it's always there. Didn't realize until after. Pretty pivotal to a ghostwriting operation. Screamed it out. outlining from memory. Then we'll move things along. Big victory: This'll never happen again. I'll be checking for my notetaker on every call here on out.

Great quote shared yesterday in @Jayyanginspires newsletter. Quoting Alan Watts. Be a doer. Not an overthinker.

Good line from the Gospel today: The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak. If you're relgious or not, it is a good reminder for what we're trying to achieve in life. What are all the things you say you're doing to do, but never complete? In work, lfe, relationships, business. Does your body carry out all that your mind says it wants? How can you strengthen your own flesh?

@theaceofspaeder Lol, nice

I SMELL B-O…

@Sophia6658zf Love that. Had my notebook there next to me

@Poor__Old Keep a record of the disassembly process and take photos—otherwise, you really won’t be able to put it back together. That’s a piece of advice my father gave me.

Got the coffee machine all taken apart. Kinda hot headed right now. Makes me think of this time my dad took apart our PlayStation and pieced it back together. When asked how he did that, he said to my brother: “If someone else did it, why can’t I?” Words to live by. My dad’s a bricklayer btw. Not sure he’s ever played a PlayStation before in his life.

@Sophia6658zf I’m a little biased, but I would say so!

@Poor__Old Your little one must be absolutely adorable.

@BlaizeSneed Appreciate it Blaize!!

@Poor__Old That’s a lot of strategy distilled into a smart action plan. I like it

I wrote today's newsletter on how I'm repurposing a client's cohort calls into marketing for future content and cohorts. With a twist on how you can do the same thing with your client calls. And how to use AI to pull your exact quotes from calls so you don't sound like the same robot as everyone else using AI to write content. Newsletter is ungated in the comments below. I've gotten a couple quick replies in the first 90 minutes since it went live. "Solid as usual" "Wonderful! Very intriguing" If you like what you read, I invite you to subscribe.

@nomorefielders Rollins sometimes got into a habit of dropping his back shoulder McGonigle won't do that

I know Kevin McGonigle often gets comped to the player he modeled himself after (Chase Utley), but I'm seeing a lot more J-Roll in his swing Thoughts?

@CliftonSellers Impressive. Scary tee shot

@Poor__Old Bogey

@jgrugs Opportunity to learn!! Oftentimes about yourself...

Challenging times are a gift. - Adversity - Perseverance - Gratitude Be grateful you were put in a position to better yourself for having persevered.

This just goes to show how much opportunity there is in the world. These guys put in TENS of THOUSANDS of hours to create their brands and channels on YT, and now they're coming up with a way to monetize it. Anyone can go start their own channel and essentially create their own TV program. Only makes sense for these guys to continue to find ways to monetize what they've built. And they've been able to do it because they show what's going on with the players during the round. It's a different side than you get to see with the tour. -- But back to my original point, it's awesome what these guys are doing -- and it shows what's possible in our world right now. Anyone can go monetize themselves online if you put in the time and build up an audience. Anyone upset about that doesn't see the greater picture. @YourGolfTourYGT @wesleybryangolf @bryanbrosgolf @GrantHorvatGolf

A Pro Golf Tour…for Content Creators? Are you interested in this? Is this doomed to fail? The big news in the social media world is Grant Horvat and the Bryan Bros forming a golf tour for social media influencers. Before you write it off, keep in mind these guys have MILLIONS of followers. Generate millions of views. Have more fans than your average PGA Tour player. The winner will get a million bucks. I’m not saying it’s a success yet. But imagine if ten years ago I told you that people would watch normal great players golf. Just dudes. For thousands of hours. And that these dudes would make more than many PGA Tour players. You never would have believed it.

Early morning with the sled

@TS_Secrets Appreciate you 🙏🏻

@Poor__Old Cherish those moments brotha.

Dropped our little one off to the babysitter yesterday. First day. Got to spend like 90 waking minutes with my daughter minus the car time. My wife had less. Such a racket. Motivation to retire my wife has never been higher. And retire myself next. God bless everyone who wants to work and send their kid to day care. After one day, I can tell you it ain’t for me. For anyone out there wanting kids, work harder now. Build a life where you can be home with them. No amount of work will bring you the joy you have when you’re holding a smiling infant. Just gotta figure out the former so you can enjoy the latter. Life’s not meant to be loved in a cubicle away from your family. Anyway, rant over. Hope everyone has a good Wednesday!
