🎤 Listen to this email here:

This is like Maslow’s Hierarchy of Luxury Bags. It’s broken down by:
- The Supremes
- The Legacies
- The Classics
- The Contemporaries
- The Accessible
A cool marketing experiment for a brand would be to make images and “research” like this and put your brand at the top so people go “whooa who’s that” and Google you 😏
Wisdom:
A few SWIPES emails ago I accidentally found a way to improve the email reply rate:
By misspelling "snacks" as "snakes"
I immediately got a flood of email replies from ya'll going:
"They had SNAKES in the green room!?!? 😂"
Interesting:
This is a cool chart showing the 9 different types of humor. I’ve never seen them listed out like this, super cool!
Picture:
This is Mochi and he’s my work buddy whilst writing this email 🙂
I am dogsitting Mochi for a week, and have about 400+ photos of him on my phone already 😂
Here he is working out:
I took him to Whole Foods:
Here he is playing with Sid:
Here he is recording a podcast:
Here he is getting Lion King'd 😂
I'll spare you 400+ more photos and end there 🙂
Essay:
Inside our members area we've been talking a lot about audiences and communities, and the difference in them.
My buddy Sam said recently:
Audience is where they're all listening to you.
Community is where they're talking to each other.
I've even been making a private list of big communities around the web to emulate the best.
Sketch:
The CEO of NetFlix Marc Randolph recently shared how they picked the name “NetFlix” from a list of names based on if the domain was available.
They actually didn’t like the name at first! He said:
“We didn’t really like the name Netflix. It sounds like we were doing X-rated films. But it was the best we could do.”
I hope you enjoyed these Friday tid-bits!
Sincerely,
Neville Medhora
