@Harjas_Grewal My separated shoulder was months and months but it was third degree. Didn't look like enough force here for third degree damage.

Mechanism can cause a broken collarbone (8-12+ weeks out) or separated shoulder (depends on type but typically day-to-day or worst week-to-week) Sounds like there’s pessimism around Hronek currently so hopefully the concern isn’t a broken collarbone

@CTtheDisrupter I agree with this 100%. So what's your first step if your business is one product that lasts forever? Get more products or different strategies? Otherwise the pain of new customer acquisition never ends!

The Easiest Way to Make More Money Optimizing your cost per purchase does not improve the amount of money you make. Profit margin on dollar spend is very very different than profit volume in the bank account. Understanding how to acquire more transactions for a lower cost per transaction and getting more people to buy more than once is the single most effective way of scaling a business. If you're still focused on new customer acquisition exclusively and you’re excluding your existing customer from seeing your ads… You're paying extra to make sure that getting more money is more difficult. You will be far less likely to see the success that you deserve Success is about far more than what the latest hack is. There's a reason why Facebook ads MBA program graduates are scaling their businesses 300% to 500% a year and why we have multiple brands that have taken an exit. Understanding how marketing works with business growth, and prioritizing what matters instead of what looks good in a report it is super valuable Comment "MBA" for more information on the program so that you can see the success that you deserve

@dickiebush OMG. Feels like I have to tell myself this 5 times per day!

Reminder to self: Stop looking for new ideas. Instead, start executing on the long list of ideas you already have. The character trait I'm most trying to develop at the moment: Ruthlessly avoiding shiny objects. Simple, but definitely not easy!

@ecomchasedimond It would be (even more) amazing if you could have the virtual person holding or using your product. If they can't do that now I'm sure it'll be a thing in a few months!

Spoiler Alert: She's not real... It took my friends at RenderNet just 5 minutes to create this virtual brand ambassador for a marketing campaign.

@m_goes_distance @Codie_Sanchez Hey I live 5 min from that giant T-Rex in a backyard! 😀

@Codie_Sanchez Too much money, not enough time to buy a T-Rex for your backyard. The struggle is real

I have a friend who used to work for 2 billionaires after all he's seen he said to me, "I wish you not one penny over $299 million. Reality gets completely lost somewhere after that." I think about that sometimes.

@Codie_Sanchez @TimKennedyMMA This is so true. “There’s nothing more dangerous than a young man without purpose, direction, motivation.” I've often thought boys are missing the ancient "right of passage" rituals that signaled for them to grow up. No purpose hurts and men who are hurting hurt others.

@TimKennedyMMA Something Tim said that struck me: “There’s nothing more dangerous than a young man without purpose, direction, motivation.” But in an era of purpose-less men... how do the hard things get done? He shared 2 things:

“Hard times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men, and weak men create hard times.” –Michael Hopf I talked to a Green Beret, UFC fighter, entrepreneur, BJJ black belt for 1 hour. Some lessons from him:

@gregisenberg Thanks for sharing. Somehow more meaningful that you're from Montreal, speaking as a fellow Canadian. 😀

I’ll tell you a story I haven’t told many people (and it’s packed with lessons for every entrepreneur, creator) I'm 18, bank account dwindling, and desperate for a job. I applied to 100 jobs and got zero job offers. They said I didn’t have enough experience or my French wasn’t good enough. The crushing hopelessness was real. So, I started reaching out to different internet companies in SF/NYC to take matters into my own hands. Give up on my local internet companies in Montréal and go for the big leagues. "Hey, would you pay me $2/lead? No risk to you." It was 2008, during the great financial crisis. Companies (similar to right now) were looking to cut costs, and this was attractive. And mobile/social was just becoming a thing. Every day, new apps were coming up. They needed users. The first few hundred emails were ignored. I was persistent. Getting rejected sucks, but it beats the alternative. Finally, one company said yes. I was ecstatic. I made $100 that month. Not exactly balling out, but it was a start. I bought a pair of shoes with it. Sweetest shoes I ever bought. The real magic happened when I realized something. Every app needed users, and I knew how to get them. I could scale this. I hired two friends, trained them on the pitch, and paid them $1/lead. The margins were thin, but we started pulling in volume. One day, I stumbled upon a goldmine—a venture backed startup that was scaling FAST. They needed users fast, and they had the budget. I pitched them: "$2/lead? Let's scale to 1,000 leads a week." This was Zynga. They had just put out Farmville and were looking to grow their users. They bit. Suddenly, I was making $2,000 a week. I dropped out of college. We started experimenting with different tactics—Facebook ads, forum postings, even early influencer marketing. The results were insane. Facebook ads were literally $0.05 per click. A nickel! I remember in 2008, we built an iPhone app (before the App Store) to ping us every lead we generated. On my 18th birthday, it dinged every few seconds. My friends from high school were so confused. I had to turn it off. In six months, we were generating over 20,000 leads a month, driving millions of clicks per month, and my friends and I were running a mini lead-gen empire. I was still living at my parents' house. But the money wasn’t the most interesting part of the story. We were learning skills that would be invaluable in the coming years—growth hacking, community management, copywriting, Wordpress, team management. We even built one of the first multi-variate ad testing platforms on FB. And we were putting every dollar back into the business. If the difference between having a cow or a horse on a Farmville ad meant the difference between making $10k or losing $10k that day, you paid attention. Conversion rates determined whether we ate or starved, so we built a muscle for creating conversion-optimized ads, copy, etc. Fast forward to today, and I've built and sold multiple companies. But it all started with that $2/lead hustle during the worst economic downturn of our generation. Moral of the story and why it might be relevant for you...(and why I am sharing this story) When the world goes to hell, look for opportunities. Innovate. Be relentless. Your big break might be just an email away. I felt pretty hopeless back then. But the cool part about the internet is the lack of gatekeepers. Not too long ago... You had to get press to get customers. - You needed VCs to build a product. - You needed a degree to get that job. - There was always someone or something acting as a gatekeeper. Not anymore. Tons of people sit on the sidelines. They aren't publishing. They aren't shipping. But it's not because they can't. They totally could. Especially with the cost of launching anything being pretty darn cheap. They just don't realize the gates have recently become wide open. And it's pretty cool how open they are. It fires me up. So, stop waiting for permission. The gates are open. Just walk through. You got this. If this hit home, let me and the world know.

@RandipJanda Fans need to chant "win for Brock" tomorrow night!

Awful news on the Brock Boeser front. Luckily it’s not life threatening, but scary nonetheless. Wishing him a speedy recovery and return to full health.

@ThomasDrance Why is that not a penalty??

That's a close one, but I think it's the right call. Silovs' ability to make the save within the blue paint was meaningfully impeded. #Canucks

@ecomchasedimond That's amazing. Having staff who want to stay is a real testament to your culture and leadership. Congrats.

Just received the best text from my COO of our LinkedIn Growth Agency 🙏

@ThomasDrance @SportsnetSpec He sounded like he had a grade 3 understanding of hockey when he was on your show. You and Jamie were kind to not dunk in him in real time!

Did @sportsnetspec turn the NHL against the Edmonton Oilers? My column:

@RobTheHockeyGuy His linemates suck. Next play he was flying to the line and had to do the splits to stay inside because they didn't hit him in stride.

Gotta get that puck to Pettersson

@ThomasDrance Every error COLE has made

@390to240 @DDPYoga @BearBlocks This is so hilarious and precious! I can't believe I just found it. I am the founder of Bear Blocks. Any chance I can share this photo?

Tough @DDPYoga Jacked workout tonight. My pushup obsessed son also found my @BearBlocks tonight while dressed as a bear (I swear this was unplanned). #weightlossjourney #ddpy #bearblocks

@BatchHockey @Sportsnet650 Oilers started slow and ended on a heater. Canucks started on a heater and are ending slow. Both great teams &, anyway it shakes out, Canucks fans should be thrilled to be hanging out on top with Edmonton, a projected cup favourite. Couldn't have predicted this at the start!

@taj1944 Thought that many times

Bieksa: Hamhuis going down in Game 1 lost us the final I think.

I'm thinking about migrating the newsletter off my own site/Klaviyo. Why migrate: I pay ~$170/month to various SaaS to host it like this A SaaS is doubling their fee It's extra work Why stay: I can member-gate my archive ~ownership~ Where should I host it?
