Making work a lot more like play. Whether you are running a business, leading a team, burned out, or bored...there's a better way to do it. Survival is insufficient.
Today is Quitter’s Day
Howdy, Reader!
Strava, one of the world’s most popular fitness tracking apps, studied more than 800 million athletic activities to determine when people quit New Year’s Resolutions.
It’s today, the second Friday of January.
Today is National Quitters Day.

For years, I struggled in a bad (pronounced “TOXIC”) job. I made New Year’s resolutions to make more money, work fewer hours, and look for a new job. And year after year, I stayed. I quit on my resolution...until I took control.
Is that you or someone you care about?
Please, don’t give up on your dream. Don’t give up on the hope for a non-crappy job.
Choose today, Quitters Day 2024 to reignite the spark with a copy of my hilarious book, Leadershit: Tales & Tools to Survive a Bad Boss & Have Fun at Work.
Psssssst: Tomorrow, Amazon is dropping the Kindle price!
This time next year, will you be in the same place?
Maybe. It very well might get better.
Just don’t think you are stuck like I did. Don't quit on your hopes with no idea how to get out.

I won’t even ask for your email address.

We've both spent a lot of time figuring out why the standard playbook kept falling short. The show is for business owners and founders who are late-diagnosed,...
I've been doing something a little different lately, Reader. You know me mostly as the guy who talks about revenue, marketing, doodling, and the messy reality of running a business. That's not changing. But I've been having a lot of conversations with clients, with peers, with people I respect…that keep circling back to the same thing. The way most business advice is built doesn't work for a lot of us. Not because we're not trying. Because the systems were never designed for the way our...
I’m loving this Pacers run!!! I grew up in Indy watching Reggie Miller “choke” Knicks fans and hit daggers from the arc. It was gritty. Loud. Classic. But this go-around feels different Reader. During the last game, my son looked up and said, “Hali’s shot is kinda… odd.” Yep. Tyrese Haliburton’s jumper IS funky. Low release, wide base, strangely far from his body…it looks like something a coach would fix in middle school. Scouts questioned it when he was going pro. Skeptics said it wouldn’t...
