FROM MY WORLD

Showered in Chemicals, Obsessed With Cancer

I remember walking into that chemical plant, and my eyes would start burning right away. There were more washing stations than desks, because if you breathed in the wrong thing, you could lose your eyesight. At the end of every shift, you had to strip down and take a chemical shower before heading home, just so you didn’t bring cancer back with you. Still, one guy got sick anyway.

So when people say, “no one reads long emails anymore,” I just laugh. Back then, I would read anything that promised a way to make money. Every 45 minutes, they’d kick us out for a 15-minute break so we wouldn’t pass out from the fumes. I’d sit outside, scrolling my phone, looking for any email that even hinted at a way out. If the subject line spoke to my problem, I opened it. If it helped me picture a different life, I saved it. It didn’t matter how long it was. For me, it was a lifeline.

That’s why I never cared how long something was. I only cared if it was relevant. I wasn’t thinking about shoes or birthdays. I was thinking, “How do I get out of here?” So every email, every video, every post had to answer one question for me: what’s in it for me? That question never goes away.

When I started writing copy, that idea hit me hard.

If someone is obsessed with losing weight, or getting more energy, or building their business, they don’t care if your email is short or long. They only care if it talks about what they’re obsessed with.

Even now, when I read drafts of my own emails, I catch myself getting pulled in. Not because they’re perfect, but because they’re about my story. I’m still that guy trying to get free. I still think the same way.

The real game isn’t writing short. It’s writing to the radio station between their ears. If you can’t tune into that, word count won’t save you.

MY GIFT FOR YOU

Happening In a Few Hours: Peek Into My Traffic, My Campaigns, And My Buyer Emails

If your results feel inconsistent, this session will likely explain why in the first 10 minutes.

I’m walking through the actual structure behind turning cold clicks into buyers — the real-life sequence that quietly drives my own business every day.

You’ll see:

• where most people break the process without realizing
• what to adjust if your buyers aren’t showing up
• how to make your system build on itself instead of resetting
• the part that immediately increases conversions once you fix it.

It’s one of those “oh… now this finally makes sense” kind of trainings.

If you want that level of understanding — the kind that actually changes what you do next — then don’t miss this one.

MINDSET MAKEOVER

How I Tricked My Brain With $33.33

Most people set goals they can’t even picture. They pick something big because it sounds good, or something small because it feels safe. Either way, they lose motivation before they even start.

When I started my business, my goal was to make $1,000 a day. It sounded great. But after a year of missing it, I realized I couldn’t even picture that money showing up in my account. It didn’t feel real. So I changed my goal to $33.33 a day. Suddenly, it felt possible. I could see it. And because I could see it, I could actually work toward it.

Here’s why: if you can’t picture your goal, you’ll give up on it without even noticing. That’s why it helps to get a small taste of the life you want. Rent a nice car for a day. Stay one night in a fancy hotel. Your brain needs to see what’s possible before it believes it’s worth the effort.

Now here’s the part people skip. Without a deadline, nothing moves. Even a fake deadline works, because your brain treats time like it’s running out. Projects without dates just sit there, and goals without dates never get done.

So pick a goal you can actually picture and give it a date. Make it real enough that you feel something when you think about it.

If you can’t feel the goal, you won’t go after it.

FOR YOUR LISTENING PLEASURE

How To Build a Huge Email List With YouTube

Jason Wardrop didn’t become the No.1 Go High-Level affiliate by luck. He figured out one thing early: your email list is the only traffic you actually own. So he built a loop where YouTube grows the list, the list grows YouTube, and the whole thing compounds like a flywheel that refuses to stop.

Eventually, he had millions of people in his retargeting pool — all warmed up by videos answering the exact questions buyers obsess over before they buy. And here’s the part that made me blink: when Facebook shut down his ad account, that YouTube engine kept his business afloat.

If you want to see how he builds this “full circle” momentum — paid ads → list → videos → webinar → back to list — this episode lays it out without the fluff.

Listen in, pick one move, and steal it for your next offer.

CURATED READS

The Almanack of Naval Ravikant by Eric Jorgenson

Eric Jorgenson did what most authors can’t. He took Naval’s notes, interviews, and ideas, and turned them into a book you can read in small chunks, but each one hits hard. Just for that editing, he deserves a medal.

What stood out to me is how Eric keeps only the important stuff and cuts out the rest. Naval’s ideas about money, leverage, and making decisions are clear because Eric doesn’t add any extra fluff. You get the real thing, straight to the point.

If you want to think more clearly about money and business, and you don’t want to read 20 other books to get there, this one should stay on your desk.
You’ll probably end up highlighting it, folding the pages, and spilling coffee on it.

The books that actually change you never look new for long.

RIDDLE ME THIS

Can You Crack The Code?

I cost nothing to create but can make you rich.
I can be shared infinitely yet still belong to you.
People chase me harder than they chase money.

What am I?

Think you've cracked the code? Reply to this email with your guess, and see if you're right!

You chase me,
You build for me,
You dream about me,
Yet when I finally show up,
I expose every weakness in your system.

The answer is: Traffic.
