    Your brain on beer vs coffee

    MINDSET 
    Beer does help me work through tedious tasks. I play some music, open a 6-pack, and can get through an entire evening of color correction or rotoscoping without hating life. Just so long as the tasks don't require THINKING and are all muscle memory is the key. I don't notice significant...

    AMA about Video Marketing

    MARKETING AMA 
    Haha thanks man. I forgot this was your screen name and I took a while figuring out who this was. I'm actually super stoked. In the next week or so I'll be releasing ~250 animated backgrounds. The 20 you saw (plus a few others) spun into 10 color combinations each. Really hope it does well. I...

    And the sidewalker of the month award goes to...

    I tried finding crap jobs 2 years ago and I was rejected because they found my college experience made me "overqualified" and they went with the inexperienced high schoolers who they felt "needed" the jobs more. Apparently if they hired me I'd be out the door after training when I got a better...

    OFF-TOPIC 
    LOVE this. Inspiring man, inspiring I have a video series in preproduction called "Journey To Epicness" all about this (If you can't buy it - build it). Filling your life with EPIC stuff and learning EPIC skills. I've always wanted to do more craftsmanship. I love the idea of custom built...

    "You need money to make money" was a huge limiting belief most of my life.

    I'm glad you're happy. I wish we had the opportunity to work without such a tight deadline. We could have destroyed with some prepwork.

    How important is personalized customer service?

    PEOPLE 
    This is a great idea. I think you're on the right track. I overheard a conversation between two coworkers a few years ago. One was getting car insurance and didn't know who to go with. The other one praised Amica's customer service, and talked about how they felt treated like a person when...

    Why is my Indiegogo book campaign off to such a slow start?

    PUBLISHING 
    I actually do a lot of this myself. It's because I do think I'm the coolest person alive. I think it rubs people the wrong way. I need to cut it out.

    Why is my Indiegogo book campaign off to such a slow start?

    PUBLISHING 
    Your video takes too long to get to the point. Too slow. No enthusiasm. Put me to sleep. Video's shot well but there's no imagination or 'sizzle'. I watched 1 minute of it and stopped. Didn't even care about the product anymore. I was bored. Additionally the video has 337 views. I'm going to...

    Safely Hustling?

    HOT! 
    I had this problem most my life. In high-school my neighbors were dealers. Same thing when I moved to Jamaica Plain. Same thing when I moved to Boston. Same thing when I moved to Hull. Right now I'm in a bad area, but at least my immediate neighbors are okay. -Dress down. -Always carry around...

    Alright! I cut the trailer and started submitting to free directories. I'm making the decision not to pay for any free promotion. There are over a hundred directories and most of them have some sort of 'premium listing' feature. I have no idea which are best and there's no way I'm paying a...

    INSTAGRAM Advertising VIRGIN?

    MARKETING SOCIAL MEDIA 
    Speed+ Not many people would have apologized. Generally it's a pretty bad idea to attempt to market to marketers (any entrepreneur getting their bizoff the ground needs to be a marketer in one way or another). I suggest you do what I did when I was wrapping my head around marketing: Start a...

    INSTAGRAM Advertising VIRGIN?

    MARKETING SOCIAL MEDIA 
    You sound like some kid who watched a few Derek Halpern videos and thinks he owns the internet. You'd probably get some speed if your dropped the marketers mask and talked to us like a real person. We're all in the same boat here, it's not the WF. The way you word things is also going to give...
