Hi!

I’m putting together a few private trainings for teams.

A few ideas have consistently come up as I’m having conversations with these teams.

I wanted to float them to you today to see which ones stand out for you.

Thanks for filling this out!

As a reward, here are a few links to some fun things.

I’ve been listening to Bob’s episode with Seth Godin the last few days.
- I like Seth’s description of marketing as everything, not just the product.
Also, he hits 6 figures every time he hits send. I only hit 5. You have to tell a friend!

3 things about these rumors that interest me:

The business these platforms compete in is tough because there isn’t a ton, if any, customer loyalty.
The impact of #PaysToWait.
Consolidation of the market is likely bad for customers and resellers.

It is an interesting idea and Richard Howle is quoted.

So, you should give it a look.

Holly wants Ryan to help solve the arts’ marketing problem.

I don’t even think you need Ryan Reynolds.

The first step in solving arts’ marketing problem is to stop using “autopilot” strategies and start thinking again.

Troy is the OG of sportsbiz podcasting.

He has started and run several successful small businesses in sports, alcohol, and broadcasting from his home base in Olympia, WA.

I’m listening to the 30th Anniversary broadcast of Pearl Jam’s ‘Self-Pollution Radio’ on Sirius XM.
