    Australian and Canadian Folks...

    MEETUPS 
    I'm Canadian and have lived in Australia for 20 years, so I'm familiar with both. Sydney is stupidly expensive by any measure as @DanInSyd mentioned. The problem with migrating now to Canada or Australia is that the qualification process - the immigration process is geared towards importing...

    Lotteries are voluntary taxation for the proletariat.

    The worst book I ever read was..

    HOT! 
    Yeah good point - I stopped reading "You Are A Badass" about 20% of the way through. She started rambling on about vision boards and manifesting money, so I couldn't handle it anymore. Same with "Hacking Growth" - at about 20% of the way in I went, "This is BS" and stopped it. Interesting...

    Are We In a Relationship?

    PEOPLE HOT! 
    So, it's been over a year since this was updated. I guess you've moved on @Almantas or is she lingering in the background?

    The worst book I ever read was..

    HOT! 
    A few of the worst books I've read over the last year - avoid at all costs: You Are A Badass by Jen Sincero - she talks about manifesting shit and vision boards. Not good. Hacking Growth by Sean Ellis and Morgan Brown - Just lame. Apparently, the key to success is experimenting. Duh...

    Conor McGregor vs Floyd Mayweather

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Back in June, I thought this fight will be a shit show - Mayweather will just hit Conor a few times, then run away, reset, hit him again a few times, run away, etc... I figured Mayweather will just use his speed (both feet and hands) to avoid getting hit. But the outside chance for McGregor...

    Jon Ronson's "The Butterfly Effect"

    BOOKS 
    This really isn't a book - it's an Audible only production. Jon Ronson looks at the impact that free and easy access to porn has had in strange and interesting ways because of PornHub. He interviews people and does some digging around. It's fantastic - I think it's free right now on Audible...

    When did you realize the system is rigged?

    NOTABLE! 
    Pharmaceutical companies ROUTINELY spend twice as much on sales and marketing as they do on R&D - J&J spent $18B on marketing last year but only $8B on R&D. Novartis, GSK, AstraZeneca, etc... Roche is the only one that generally doesn't. Roche operates on an 82% gross margin. Novartis is a...

    When did you realize the system is rigged?

    NOTABLE! 
    I take the libertarian view of victimless crimes - they should not exist. I once got stopped by the police for taking an on-ramp onto the Sydney Harbour Bridge that was dedicated for buses between 6am-10am. The "car" lane was right next to it but an entirely different on-ramp. No actual rhyme...

    JEFF BEZOS NOW THE WORLDS RICHEST PERSON

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Amazon's retail operations have been ongoing for 23 years and have turned a profit in less than ten quarters total if you exclude AWS. AWS has spun off huge positive cash flow for Amazon. But if you're looking at their retail business, they are buying marketshare in a very low margin...

    JEFF BEZOS NOW THE WORLDS RICHEST PERSON

    Amazon net income from everything not AWS - ($700m) AWS net income - $915m That's a cloud services business that owns a money losing retail and distribution operation.

    What book are you reading? Right now. Post up!

    NOTABLE! HOT! BOOKS CHAT 
    I'm on my second go round with Unscripted. I like to read good books two or three times in short order. After reading Unscripted a few weeks ago, I started in on Jen Sincero's "You Are A Badass". I had to stop about 1/4 of the way through because she started rambling on about "source energy"...

    The Perennial Seller by Ryan Holiday

    BOOKS 
    I agree - I find his books unnecessarily verbose without ever getting to the point.

    E-mail Marketing Services

    MARKETING 
    That's a good point - I used Send Forensics for monitoring my reputation and I also use Google Postmaster Tools to see what they think of what I send to Gmail. Every couple of months, I run my entire list through BriteVerify to make sure that I don't have any known honeypots or anything on my list.

    E-mail Marketing Services

    MARKETING 
    I would look at ActiveCampaign - for up to 1000 people on their Lite plan with unlimited mailing it costs $17/mth. You don't want to keep your email list in a spreadsheet, that's not a good idea. You're better off letting your ESP manage optins and optouts for a whole bunch of reasons from...

    The Anatomy Of Sleep

    HEALTH 
    I had a sleep study done in 2013 to measure the level of sleep apnea I had. My breathing was stopping or being interrupted 72 times an hour - one time during the study I stopped breathing for 55 seconds. During the entire 8 hours, I did not enter the deeper levels of REM sleep once. My sleep...

    E-mail Marketing Services

    MARKETING 
    Just to continue - those three services you listed are entirely different from one another. AWS SES is an email relay service it doesn't keep your list - you need a third party list management tool to use it. ActiveCampaign is an email marketing and automation tool. It sends emails, manages...

    MARKETING 
    I've used Infusionsoft for about four years and three years ago switched to Active Campaign. I send a daily email to my list that's in the low thousands of people. Over the last 18 months I've sent over 1m emails and have written about 600. It has a good automation capability, integrates...

    Job Board Plug-in Experience?

    A few years back, I tried this with Wordpress and it sucked a$$ - can't even remember what plugin I used. I swapped it out for a Gravity Forms solution - submission form with payment capability attached and then used GravityView to display a table with the jobs available on it. It wasn't...
