In today's issue:

Let me tell you about the day I became a thief.

Not the kind that robs banks.
Not the kind that steals cars.

Nope.

The kind that sneaks into his mom’s purse, snatches her credit card, and runs it online for a $50 deposit on a program he couldn’t possibly afford.

Why?

Because I had just read the first marketing message that truly hijacked my brain.

Picture this: a long-haired, hippie-looking guy, lounging in a hammock, casually talking about making $6K–$10K a month online… while working just a few hours a week.

That was it. The words flipped a switch in my mind.

Suddenly, the internet wasn’t a tool.
It was a doorway to freedom.

A chicken-plucker turned Costa Rica beach bum making more online than in his factory job?
To me, that wasn’t a “story.” That was a map out of prison.

And I was ready to follow it anywhere.

Now, was it a $3,000 network marketing program I couldn’t afford? Yes.
Was it reckless to run my mom’s card for $50? Absolutely.
Did I regret it? Not for a second.

Because that message lit a fire in me that’s been burning for 18+ years.

Here’s the kicker though:

Most marketing today feels like that same hammock-dude ad, just recycled 10 million times over.
Everyone’s “working from home.”
Everyone’s “making $10K a month.”
Everyone’s “living the dream.”

So if you want to win in today’s market, you can’t just say the thing everyone else is saying.

You need to find a way to say it differently.
To give it a hook.
To slap people’s brains so hard with your words that they never forget you.

Because great marketing messages don’t just make sales.
They stick.
They live rent-free in people’s heads for years.
And sometimes, just sometimes…
They make 17-year-old kids commit small financial crimes against their mothers.

The most reliable money-making machine online is the one that already lands in your inbox every day: email. I built a $20M business on it. Not with hustle, but with a simple, repeatable system anyone can follow. This is the hands-on, practical guide you've been looking for and shows you how to build your own recession-proof income, one subscriber at a time. I want to ship you a free copy (just cover S&H). Inside, you’ll discover how to turn one email list into a true freedom business—plus you’ll get $3,251.88 in bonuses including my best templates, emails, and traffic blueprints.

Here’s a weird thought:

If money had a conscience… teachers would be billionaires, priests would be rolling in Bentleys, and drug dealers would be broke.

But that’s not how it works. Because money doesn’t care.

It doesn’t care if you earned it sweating 14-hour days in a warehouse or if you wrote a single sales letter that makes cash while you sleep.
It doesn’t care if you “deserved” it, “worked hard enough” for it, or if your Aunt May thinks you’re a lazy bum.

Money is just… neutral.

The only thing that makes it “good” or “bad” is the story you attach to it. And most of those stories? They’re garbage hand-me-downs:

No. What changes people is their relationship with money.

Here’s the kicker though—money myths aren’t the biggest dream-killers. Fear of judgment is.

Every time someone decides to go off the beaten path—launch a business, try something new, chase freedom instead of a paycheck—they don’t just wrestle with their own doubts. They wrestle with everyone else’s opinions.

Your family, your friends, your coworkers—they’ll all have something to say. And if you let their noise become your truth, you’re done.

So here’s the shift: stop giving money a personality it doesn’t have. Stop waiting for approval you don’t need.

Money doesn’t care.
So maybe it’s time you stopped caring too.

What do Microsoft, birthday party magic tricks, and Trump-style marketing have in common? Jack Turk. 

In this episode, we unpack his wild journey from writing tech manuals for Age of Empires to becoming a magician and then head copywriter at GKIC. We dive into why Trump’s media playbook works, what most marketers get wrong about messaging, and why speed still beats perfection. 

Whether you love or hate the guy, there’s a lot to learn, and Jack breaks it down with sharp insight and zero fluff.

Imagine this: you sit down at your laptop, ready to work. Thirty minutes later, you’ve checked your email five times, watched a YouTube video about cats playing piano, and somehow ended up shopping for socks on Amazon.

Sound familiar?

That’s the modern curse—constant distraction.

And that’s exactly what Deep Work by Cal Newport helps you kill.

This book isn’t about “working harder.” It’s about working smarter, deeper, and distraction-free—so when you do sit down to work, you actually produce something that moves your business (and life) forward.

Newport gives you the tools to train your brain for focus in a world that’s engineered to steal it. Apply even a fraction of what he teaches, and suddenly, you’re not just busy—you’re building assets, skills, and income streams that compound.

If you’re serious about breaking free from shallow, hamster-wheel work… this book is a must.
