More than 35% of Americans earning over $200,000 are living paycheck to paycheck. Watch clip on YouTube.
Lifestyle creep is real. The popularity of shows like "Your Friends and Neighbors" or Netflix's "The Watcher" is no accident. Art imitates life. There are opportunities for great financial advice and planning that will resonate with the reality of investors today. The old messaging that focuses solely on the someday retirement doesn't cover it. Plus - inheritance in a lump sum is like binging a week's worth of calories on your cheat day.
Financial advice works when it's in touch with culture and how people really behave.

Chewy's $30 Marketing Tactic: Building Lifelong Customer Loyalty.
Chewy is internet-famous for their compassionate approach during the death of a pet. They offer full refunds on pet food and send flowers and a condolence card when a pet passes away (est. $30 investment once per customer). Tangible, heartfelt actions that are timely and on-brand can make a significant impact on retention and brand perception. Brand is your business's greatest asset. Almost any business can implement similar tactics to build goodwill, brand, and LTV.
Think about the network effect of the free bag of dog or cat food. Similar CPG example: Two free full-size Quest bars.

Tips from my coaching session with a financial institution President to prepare for his upcoming speech to 800 people. Body language, tone and pitch are 93% of communication. You don't have to have the perfect words. But if you're hunched, throat's tight and your voice sounds thin, people can't even hear the words you say.

Navigating Trademark Disputes and Content Creation Challenges. When is it worth your time to go after someone who uses your trademark in a grey area or fair use manner that is not referencing your brand?
At the end of the day, just be a human being when you do business. If you have an issue with someone's content, try having a simple conversation before taking action that could hurt a creator, especially a small business owner. I have no hard feelings toward anyone, I'm just sharing what happened because the story is helpful to keep in mind for your own content. Content moderation is usually run by bots who don't understand nuance.
I discuss a personal experience of having a YouTube video removed for an apparent trademark violation. I delve into the complexities of trademark law, Lanham Act and fair use. I highlight the importance of diversifying content platforms and building a resilient outreach strategy via your email list.

TikTok stat: 92% of TikTok users take some type of action after watching a video and 37% of purchase something they discovered through the app. Reread that. You won't find numbers that high on any other platform.
I unpack the January 2025 TikTok ban and its implications for businesses, highlighting the importance of not relying solely on one platform.
The TikTok ban impacted millions of users, showing the importance of diverse digital strategies. Hear about TikTok's unique audience behavior, usage statistics, and why it's addictive. Learn why spreading content across multiple channels and maintaining direct communication with your audience is crucial for sustainable business growth.
The iconic Bethenny Frankel described TikTok vs Instagram perfectly: IG is the Marriott hotel lobby where you present your best self or polished persona, while Tok is the wild after party upstairs where you can wear anything and express your real self without judgment, while finding community.

Employee Monitoring and Trust: Management Tips, Marketing Takeaways
I examine the increasing trend of companies cracking down on minor employee infractions and the implications of such strict policies. Thoughts on the 10/30/2024 WSJ article about Payhawk. I highlight stories from companies like Meta, Ernst & Young, and Target, explaining the negative impact of an overly monitored work environment.
By contrasting Payhawk culture with examples of trust and autonomy, I emphasize the importance of treating employees as responsible adults to foster a more engaged and innovative workforce. Drawing from two personal career stories: $12k coffee and Tomatis music therapy center job:

What is the difference between a tagline and a slogan? What are some of the best slogans of all time? I analyze the trend in taglines called "verb-your-noun" that I think is on its way out. You've seen it, like "Find your tribe" or "Maximize your space" or "Fund your dream." These are imperatives (commands) to a customer.
You might be using this tagline framework as it's been popular for 5-10 years especially in SaaS. It's okay right now, but getting dusty (culturally) and probably won't work in a couple years.

Business education is a business. "And the biggest thing I don't do well with, and never did well with, was knowing that no matter how hard I worked, there would always be a cap to my success. And when I say success, I really mean the take-home, the revenue. Why are we there? This is not altruism. What do you get out of a job? You get money.
Don Draper said this to Peggy when she said, 'It would be nice if you could say thank you once in a while, Don.'
And he loses his sh*t. And he says, 'That's what the money is for!'"
In June 2023 I went to a birthday party with thirty MBAs where I just... did not... fit in. This voice memo that I recorded on the way home captures the essence of entrepreneurship. (Excuse slight drop in sound quality, it's a raw iPhone voice recording but worth it.) Caveat: No shade to MBAs (my parents and friends have them). This is an exploration of an entrepreneurial mindset, how that's changed even in the last 5-10 years.
Themes:
Key idea: With a salaried position as an employee, you are capped in earning potential; there are diminishing returns to how hard you work. When you own the business there is no cap.
You can create something from nothing all by yourself without incurring debt. It's never been easier than today with AI.
That said, there are perks to employment and it's great for many people. It's the smart move for many (most) people. Employment is statistically more likely to make you money than starting a business.
