Comment on Fund Your Freedom: I’m Hiring a Marketing Lead by Daniel Daines-Hutt

Meh you’ll always get the people who complain about ANYTHING
I like how it says you’re hiring in the title

If I wasn’t working for myself I would jump at the chance, I’ve read your book and highly enjoyed it-will be sharing this opportunity and hopefully a friend jumps at it!

I like that a random, anonymous person tells you to what to do and to earn his/her respect.

I’m wondering if your reaction isn’t because I didn’t explicitly state the position was paid. If so, it is a paid position and that’s been added to the posting explicitly to clarify.

Comment on Hunt Your Sacred Cows: trend recognition for fun and profit by Casey Ames

Comment on Hunt Your Sacred Cows: trend recognition for fun and profit by Taylor Pearson

Who doesn’t need a good quarterly hunting trip?

Your comment made me think of an Anthony Bourdain quote that I wanted to include but couldn’t find a sport for:

“It seems that the more places I see and experience, the bigger I realize the world to be. The more I become aware of, the more I realize how relatively little I know of it, how many places I have still to go, how much more there is to learn.

Comment on My Ten Most Influential Reads of 2015 by Taylor Pearson

Ooh, Have not heard of Lowenstein and I love Wall St. histories – adding it to my list!!

chiming in…thanks TP, here’s my 2016 reading to-do’s: read “What I Learned Losing a Million Dollars”, and on this topic re-read Khaneman’s “Thinking Fast and Slow”, and I recomment to all Lowenstein’s “When Genius Failed”

It almost always seems like I know something is true, only to find out how wrong I was typically by reading / talking with people much smarter than I am.
