It’s Wednesday, and I'm back.

The 2025 Windup: My New Year’s Rant, A Gift for You, and Back-of-the-Napkin Google Ads Math
Happy New Year 🎉
Let's cue the clichés...
“New year, new me.”
“This is my year.”

Let’s skip the resolutions. Most of them don’t stick anyway.
Here’s the real...

The Wednesday Windup Vol. 17: Character Assassination, a 40% Revenue Crash, the 10-Step Meta Creative Audit You Need, and Media Planning That Delivers
Humans are great at killing the messenger.
Not literally (at least most of the time).
But it goes something like this... someone tells you something you don’t want to hear, and instead of sitting with the message, you decide the messenger is the problem. They’re too blunt, too negative, too crit...

And yes, I’ve got news. (Don’t I always?) But this one? This one might actually make you sit up a little straighter. It’s good. Sti...

The Wednesday Windup Vol. 13
Some questions are just flat-out dumb. Yes, I said it. And you can quote me.
But I'll be the first one to encourage stupid questions.

The Wednesday Windup Vol. 12: The publisher for my first novel just sent 25,000 hardcovers to print—and I'm scared as hell.
Welcome back to the Wednesday Windup!
