Read time: 3 min 55 sec Whatup Reader! Is there actually a cure for loneliness? I have no idea. But I was willing to risk the borderline clickbait title because I do believe that what follows are some actual action items that you fine folks might find helpful. Last week I shared a post that spoke to my belief that at the heart of most human action is an attempt to combat loneliness and feeling/being alone. We can pathologize it (âThatâs textbook attention-seeking behavior.â), demonize it...

Read time: 3 min 0 sec Whatup Reader! Sliding into your inbox a little later than usual today because I needed rest, so I took it. The results of the election didnât surprise me, but that doesnât mean they donât affect me, so instead of forcing content I asked myself what I needed and leaned into that. Yes, Iâm âstillâ talking about the election. Itâs only been a week. If youâve processed and moved forward, I love this for you. If youâre still feeling some kind of way, I see you, I get you, I...

Read time: 2 min 26 sec Whatup Reader! I train my calves once every never. If I were to tell you that Iâm trying to grow my calves, that would be, based on my actions, a big ass lie. Action express priority. Actual footage of me on leg day. Voting is just like that once-per-year calf session. Hear me out. And yes, weâre talking about the election. Election season brings with it all the feelings. Frustration, anger, anxiety, hope, resentment, overwhelm, excitement, skepticism, concern....

Read time: 1 min 55 sec Whatup Reader! Weâre one week out from election day. Are you worried? If youâve got the ability to vote early, do it. If you donât, just make sure you vote. Yaâll already know that I understand the assignment and Iâm team #HarrisWalz, but I have to admit that the Threads scrolling as of late doesnât have the same optimism that it did in August when the Harris wave of hope took the interwebs by storm. Itâs to be expected. Shit starts to get real when you get down to the...

Read time: 2 min 55 sec Whatup Reader! We blinked and itâs October, the weather is actually quite shit here in the South Bay, but I want to focus on more positive things for todayâs email: My sneakers. If you know me, you know that Iâm a bit of a sneaker head and always have been. Just look at baby Maestro. Iâve always loved getting new sneakers, keeping up with the latest drops, and finding footwear that made a statement. But no matter what, Iâd never sacrifice comfort for style. If itâs...

Read time: 1 min 58 sec Whatup Reader! Letâs talk about selling. Or to put it another way, receiving. I had the honor of speaking at the CPTA annual Conference this past Saturday. During my presentation one of the attendees asked for a simplified approach to using Instagram for business. I hit her with what youâd expect: Consistency, competency, specificity, authenticity, and then I added, âYouâve got to be willing to ask for the sale. Youâve got to be willing to talk about your services.â...
