    If anyone wants a feel-good, wholesome, sappy, tear-jerker, uplifting series of videos to binge-watch during this holiday season, the East Idaho News Secret Santa videos are going on now. These have been one of my favorite things to watch at this time of year for a few years now. Here's one...

    INTRO 
    Welcome to the forum. Great intro! If your dad did this himself, have you asked him to mentor you? What ideas does he have for you? What opportunities does he see that you could pursue? What needs in the market does he think would be a good fit for your skills? Would he be willing to partner...

    I read through the rest of your posts to try to understand where you are coming from. (For what it's worth, I think if all your existing posts were in a single thread, it would make it easier for forum members to help you and see the context.) Here are some observations I have. If your...

    Searching on the internet should still be theoretically possible, though, right? Sounds like a business problem for someone to solve. I'd switch to a silly, clunky, 1999-esque version of a search engine with sub-par algorithms if I knew it was actually going to give me the option to dig...

    Call me sensitive, but for me it was awful in seeing the bloody specimens of all these gross, rubbery fibrous things that embalmers are pulling out of people's veins that have never been seen before and only started being found in bodies in the last 16-18 months. I had to listen to most of it as...

    Can we talk about PhDs?

    HOT! MINDSET CHAT 
    Just to reassure you - you don't need to know right now. Just relax and let your subconscious work on it. Also just start a practice of writing down a list of needs and problems that you've identified, whether or not you think you can or want to try to solve them. Just the habit of...

    Can we talk about PhDs?

    The one thing that no one has mentioned yet is - What is the biggest NEED or unsolved problem in the area of Geophysics that your background and training equips you to solve? Start asking yourself this question. As you do your job, start spotting gaps and frustrations and pain points that...

    25yo at a fork in the road and looking for some outside input/perspectives. Risk it for the biscuit or increase my business management skills?

    SIDE HUSTLE QUESTION 
    This was the thing that stood out to me, too. Why is there not already clarity on this? Most of the explanations I can think of for why you don't know this critical detail - are red flags. - Maybe you don't know because you've asked and he's giving you the runaround and not telling you. -...

    This is the most amazing idea ever! It would be quicker to just fire off an email to those frustrating people that says, "Be someone others can count on." Nothing else. That would make sure they get the message, since they won't read a book. For the ones who won't even read that, you could...

    Is this the best way for a business leader to correct his employees????

    PEOPLE 
    The boss is wielding shame to make his correction more intense. Notice how you feel gross at just witnessing the boss's behavior? You're not even the person he's correcting. But even as a bystander, you feel it. You instinctively know that this is out of bounds. It's unnecessary. It's a low...

    Building custom wedding websites when free alternative are available. A progress thread targeting summer/fall 2023.

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    Be aware of the "decision fatigue" that couples face with planning a wedding. I've heard frequent complaints on this topic from friends when they were brides. For most couples who get married, planning a wedding is the biggest event they will ever coordinate in their lives. And they're probably...

    I don't think it's a conspiracy theory, but I do think that enough people will be sleepy and indifferent and unaware of the implications for long enough for the shackles to be forged and the padlocks to be snapped shut. People will wake up and protest only after it's too late. It seems like...

    Thanks for the helpful recap. I didn't know that was what went down. Regarding faith in "web3" - my current opinion is this: - Web3 is still an inevitable development. It's coming whether we have faith in it or not. - You think it's hard to "de-Google" your life now? It'll be even harder...

    [Master Thread] Selling Courses

    I want to come back to this and list some of my thoughts and experiences on the topic. Looking for other threads, unfortunately, the forum omits the word "course" from search results, so that's no fun. However, I found these threads by searching forum tags (courses, online courses, online...

    Ok, you know what? You sold me on upgrading. I haven't been subscribed to Insiders for a while, but when my subscription expired, I definitely noticed that the threads weren't nearly as interesting. Lately I've been thinking about how much better the forum is when you're on the inside. So I've...

    I have some substantive thoughts on this, as I used to do copywriting for a company that focused on coaching online course creators on how to market and sell their course. So I've seen a lot of what works well and what doesn't. However, I'd rather not go to the effort to put a detailed...
