Not gonna lie — I went dark for a minute.


Hey you,

I know I went dark for a minute.

Not because I ghosted you on purpose, but because I’ve been in the lab. Quietly rebuilding my content, systems, and offers from the ground up. Deleting what no longer fits. Reworking what deserves another shot. Getting ruthlessly clear about what’s next — and who it’s for.

Here’s the thing:

Sometimes you gotta go dark if you wanna see the light.

If I’m going to show up in your inbox, it’s not going to be with filler. You’ll never get content for content’s sake from me. Everything I send is designed to be one of three things:

  • Highly valuable (as in: move-the-needle stuff)
  • Debatably humorous (no promises, but I try)
  • Possibly life-changing (for the curious minds who implement)

And starting now, here’s how that’s going to look:

  • Curious Gains (free): Weekly emails about human behavior, marketing that actually works well (or fails miserably) and unexpected moments that flip your perspective sideways.
  • Premium (paid): Actionable deep dives including proven copywriting tips, battle-tested optimization strategies, hostage negotiation techniques, and ridiculously useful AI prompts and GPTs. (More on this soon.)

That’s the full menu.

If you’re in, amazing — I’m honored to have a spot in your inbox.
If not? No hard feelings. You can unsubscribe below in one click, and I’ll respect the hell out of that boundary.

Either way, I’m glad we crossed paths.

I got an incredibly inspiring email today from one of my email newsletter mentors, and I figured if it kicked me in the butt, it might help someone else. I'm just going to paste it below because it's perfect as is: Finding the groove, staying in the groove, dropping out of the groove, and rediscovering the groove. But the groove isn’t always about being “productive” or “producing.” The groove isn’t always flow state or frictionless creating. The groove, to me, is when you’re consistently...

Hi I'm, Whatever...

I honestly don't know how people like this even survive. It's amazing how lazy people in the "eat what you kill" industries on LinkedIn can be. I get that it's a numbers game but damn, give yourself a sporting chance. Exhibit A. That's not my name. Let's try to get the name right shall we? It's the absolute least you can do. "Thanks Clutch, we're all good here." Exhibit B. That's not my job. If you took 30 seconds to look at my LinkedIn profile, you'd know I haven't worked in the fashion...

I posted this on LinkedIn and evidently it resonated so I thought I would share here. Let's take this a step further for my marketers. The message here was referring to connection requests, but the lesson is bigger than that. Never give a prospect enough information to make a decision about your product or service before you've had the chance to show the value of it. Every touchpoint you have with a customer or potential customers serves ONE purpose. 👀 An ad only has to be interesting enough...
