    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!

    I am dogsitting Mochi for a week, and have about 400+ photos of him on my phone already 😂

    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!

    Home Studio/Guest Bedroom Walkthrough

    Here's a quick walk-through of my multi-purpose:
    ✔️ Home Office
    ✔️ YouTube Studio
    ✔️ Co-Working Space
    ✔️ Overflow Guest bedroom

    When I first setup in this room it looked like this:

    When done it looked like this:

    After using this home office for a long time, I realize 99% of the time all I'm recording is video calls and YouTube videos on the desk. 

    I just use 1 camera for this!

    Recording video content is getting easier and easier.


    This was a random piece of content today, but I still hope you liked it 🙂
