    An educational (and fun) email by Copywriting Course. Enjoy!

    This is an awesome way to demonstrate what a CRO testing company does, and it even shows the results of their changes.

    I like these types of before/after's with results! This one was from ConversionWise.

    Wisdom:

    Wow: Joe Rogan was 42 years old when he started podcasting!

    That's kind of wild 🤯

    Joe Rogan is currently 56 (dob Aug 11, 1967), and he recorded the first episode of The Joe Rogan Experience Podcast on Dec 24, 2009.

    Pretty cool how such a cultural phenomenon was started at 42.

    Interesting:

    Speaking of Joe Rogan starting at 42, coincidentally the next thing I'm showing is also of a guy (Chris Do) starting YouTube at 42:

    What caught my attention here was how Chris Do re-formatted this Tweet as an Instagram post.

    Normally it's just some crappy screenshot, but I thought this layout looked amazing.

    Picture:

    I bought a sauna! Check it out:

    It's an indoor traditional sauna that I bought for the purpose of using before/after home workouts.....so far it's been AWESOME. 

    I wanted to place it in my home gym / garage, here's a rough idea of the volume with me in it:

    It can hold 3 people (maybe 4 if someone stands), and I can lay down in it.

    I'm a big user of the sauna at the gym I go to, so I expect I'll be using this all the time at home now!

    Essay:

    Speaking of saunas, did you know you can make money renting out saunas to people for birthday parties, AirBnB vacations and more?

    The sauna rental business:

     Another interesting way to make money on the side is wallpaper installation. I've hired this out twice, and was always surprised by how much more this cost than I expected, I found out why:

    A cool discussion about making a commodity service more valuable was combining it with something else, such as:

    Bamboo + Privacy.

    Here's a company called "Bamboo Your Privacy" that combined the two, making the pairing more valuable:

    Here's an interesting thing of a guy doing $10,000/day with paddle board rentals....and all of it is built off AirBnB Experiences:

    Splurge:

    I got 3 new books delivered for night time reading!
    - Pushing Ice by Alastair Reynolds
    - Stories of Your Life by Ted Chiang
    - The Order of Time by Carlo Rovelli

    Reading non-business books before bed helps me wind down and have quality sleep.

    I'm 2 days into "Pushing Ice" and already covered 100 pages....so I think I'm into that book already 😂

    Sincerely,

    Wellllll I wanted all the bells and whistles:
    - Bluetooth speakers
    - Lighting
    - App control from phone
    - Natural wood with no glue bindings 
    - Traditional sauna 

    ....so this cost a little over $10k plus I had to run extra 220v electrical which cost some more.

    Sauna looks awesome.  Is it infrared or the traditional hot rock kind? 

    Mind if I ask what kind / how much? 

    On my vision board bucket list (go b t c :classic_cool: )

    Hey Rob TRADITIONAL FOR SURE! I like traditional way better. 

    I wanted all the bells and whistles:
    - Bluetooth speakers
    - Lighting
    - App control from phone
    - Natural wood with no glue bindings 
    - Traditional sauna 

    ....so this cost a little over $10k plus $1,600 to install/deliver and run extra 220v electrical which cost some more.

    I think you can get a solid outdoor sauna from Costco for ~$5k 

    ....an infrared cheap one can be down to $2k!

    The ladies who run Bamboo Your Privacy absolutley print money.  I’ve personally spent 10-15k+ with them for relatively mature/tall bamboo  to give my yard privacy from neighbors.  It works amazingly well... until it freezes in Austin each year and that wipes out the investment.  After replacing it twice, I’m looking for better solutions now.

    Yeah they really do! 

    I had LUCIOUS AWESOME BAMBOO when I moved into my house, it was glorious....one freeze wiped it out and it's never returned to it's former glory 😕
