Looked like Vrabel and Maye had a falling out here postgame ... but turns out it was actually @ninko50 scrapping with Drake.

I don’t understand this “billionaires shouldn’t exist” nonsense. So should $999m exist? Or 500m - should that exist? Let’s say I buy a Picasso at a garage sale for $10. Turns out it’s worth $1b! Should we cut the painting so it’s worth less than $1b? Logistically, it doesn’t make sense to me.

My wife and I bought this journal as a gift to ourselves for our first wedding anniversary last year. The gift is: each anniversary we journal: - Reflections from the past year. - Key events that occurred. - What we did on our anniversary to celebrate. - And what we're looking forward to in our next year of marriage. Only two years in but we're already loving this exercise. It was fun to read last year's entry and reflect on the year we've had together (good and bad). This journal sits in our safe the other 364 days of the year.

My fill-in while I’m out on paternity leave is writing a great LinkedIn post for tomorrow. Stay tuned.

Hey @ShopifyDevs could you please change the criteria for who can review an app? We have users who can't review our app but they installed it and are using it but they can't review it? Seems like weird. Run into this a few times where users want to write us a review but can't.

Marketing Job Alert 🚨 Sr Demand Gen. (Remote) - $90-130k @SpellbookLegal Just posted to the Exit Five job board jobs.exitfive.com/job/144084…

I am so proud of what we're building with Exit Five. We've carved out the niche of B2B marketing and our content and community is helping people build successful careers. I can feel it every day. Got this message last night.

Really excited to be joining the @exitfivemedia community on February 8th from 1-2 PM EST for a discussion on the intersection of mental health and high performance. We are going to be discussing: - Understanding how we come to treat our work as our identities - Ideas to help separate and ground your sense of worth (regardless of your productivity) - Practices to navigate the emotional ups and downs of being between jobs, overworking in your role and feeling the need to be perfect in your life To attend, you need to be an Exit Five member, but if you’re interested in joining, you can use the code “KARA” at checkout with the link below in the comments to save $30 (a free month). Thanks for having me, @davegerhardt and @_danieljmurphy

This happens every time I have no meetings on my calendar for the day. I pick a project where I need to go deep. I block two hours off in my calendar to focus on that project. Two hours later... I wrote three tweets, four LinkedIn comments, had two conversations on Slack, played outside with my dog for 10 minutes (because she looked bored) and ate my lunch in front of YouTube. 😏

Two great signs you're building a strong brand: 1. Your customers are talking about you in public. 2. Your competitors are forwarding your emails around internally and you can see that in your ESP 🤣 Both are happening and it's so encouraging.

I'm looking at a TON of B2B SaaS websites today while working on a research project for @exitfivemedia today. Biggest observation so far: Companies above $50M in revenue almost all have the exact same navigation. Product | Solutions | Resources | Pricing | Sign Up/Demo | Login And I can translate why each exists 🤣 "Product" = because the CRO told the head of product marketing sales needs help explaining what thier product actually does (even though sales just wants a PDF) "Solutions" = because at some point they made a push with SEO and created a bunch of landing pages "Resources" = because marketing wants to promote the content they've worked hard to create "Pricing" (without actual pricing on there) = because sales wants more meetings

Fun fact about me: I love @Target’s activewear. Y’all can have your Gymshark and LuluLemon. I’m good with my $25 joggers ✌️

Snack between my run and my lift (back to back today) Dried mango and cashews. Who says no?

I'm pumped to welcome @knak as a presenting sponsor of @exitfivemedia for 2024. • Knak is a no code email and landing page creation platform that helps marketers turns what is typically hours of frustration into just a few minutes of building an email or landing page (that actually looks great). • This is a fun sponsorship for us because it isn't just about giving advertising inventory across our podcast, community, and webinars to Knak. But we actually get to use the product. • We've been using Knak to level up our emails at Exit Five and will be doing this all year; every email you see from Exit Five will be designed and built in Knak so they will look great and perform great too. All I know is that our COO @_danieljmurphy has been geeking out with this product and he keeps sending me Slack messages about cool things he's doing and learning using the product, so it must be good 😊 ▪️ If you're a marketer and want to learn more about Knak you can check them out here: knak.com/exit-five 🎧 You will also hear Knak on the Exit Five podcast right now and see them in all of our emails this year 🤝 I love it when a good fit partnership like this comes together - especially one where we get to use the product to run our business (and makes it easy to tell other marketers about it as part of this sponsorship for the year).

Some Wins and Challenges for @exitfivemedia: • MRR is up 31% since in the last 60 days. • I am feeling that feeling. DMs. Emails. Social chatter. We have product market fit and buzz - it’s very real. • Sponsors. We have partnerships and demand from some of the top B2B SaaS companies. Great fit for this audience and a great revenue channel for us. I’d like to continue to get creative here with good fit tools for our audience. • Hiring a COO has been a game changer. Why didn’t I do this 1 year ago? Challenges: • Growing community engagement is hard. How do you get people to go to the gym every day? • Shifting the mindset from Community to Membership. There’s so much value beyond the discussions in the community. I want to tell this story more and shift the thinking to “this is a membership for B2B marketers” vs “this is a discussion forum.” That’s one of the features, but not the whole product. • There’s so much we want to add to the membership - but time and budget and resources get in the way. I’m also impatient. But focus is key. One week at a time. We’re breaking goals and projects down into weekly and monthly chunks right now.

Hey @NotionHQ I got your new power user right here. Mr. I Don't Like Process is the #1 user at @exitfivemedia now. ✌️

Great last day of the year: - Spent the day with my wife - Lots of writing - Garage workout - Ran 2 miles - Two walks with my dog - Watched the @Patriots lose (tank baby) - Now backyard fire, Thai food and a glass of scotch for dessert. Ready for the new year.
