Smart SEO & Internet Marketing BlogHow to Leverage Customer Feedback in Evergreen Ways
Any time I get feedback from customers I try to document it and add to processes. Doesn't matter if it's positive, negative, or neutral. There's always value in feedback, and I always try to make that value evergreen. Recently expanded this approach to leverage what...
The Freedoms in Doing Things right
Sitting with my wife at our kid's basketball game thinking about how doing the right thing is amazing. Freedom not to hide. Freedom to ask. Freedom to grow. Boys night out? Any time, because my wife trusts me. Girls night out? Any time, because I trust her. Not just...
Win Some, Lose Some
Reflecting on the other day that was equally parts amazing and sucky. 16 hour day. Woke up at 5:30 am. Worked until kids woke up around 7:30 am. Hung out with them for an hour before they went to school. Worked straight through until kids got out early today around...
Agree or Not, You Have a Reputation
Whether you do it intentionally or you're oblivious to it, you have a reputation. It's built with every word you say and action you take. Was recently messaged by someone that I'd never met before (image #1). They were appreciative of the opportunity to follow and...
21 year old new entrepreneur just sent me this pic

Sad Time For Kids
This is disheartening to read as a parent. We're raising our kids to be conditioned into compliance. "I'm sorry for being loud in the lunchroom." Not specifically because it's my 7, among the softest kids you'll ever meet, that wrote it. "Dad, I wasn't even being...
Teaching Kids Entrepreneurship
Proud of my kids. Teaching them to flip on eBay. This is round two. First round they invested about $75 for about $1k profit. Still playing around. For consistency in them selling (and also not spending all day in a thrift store), been focusing on collectible toys....
Social Media Restraint
Someone I respect recently made a post I disagree with. Even their own historical posts contradict what they said. Know what I did about it? Nothing. Nothing at all. And we’ll still be friends. Arguing on social media is more about virtue signaling than actual...
