I just lost a 6-month-long bid/proposal. Countless Zooms, research, and time. But that's okay! Now is a good time to introduce what my company actually does. We have one slot open this quarter. If you know anyone we can help, send them this post. We've helped 11 businesses scale from $1M a year to $10M a year with advertising. Our advertising agency is unique because: 1. We have a great team in the office (no outsourcing), with experts on each platform. 2. We manage ads on all platforms: X (Twitter), YouTube, Google, Meta, Reddit, ChatGPT, and TikTok. 3. My team is managing $3M a month in ad spend right now and is in your account daily. 4. We only work with 4 companies per quarter. 5. Our team acts as your fractional CMO and does everything we need to do to scale your company (SEO, emails, retargeting, whatever it takes). 6. The mission is simple: get you an ROI so you can make more money. So if you know anyone who needs to generate more leads and more sales and wants to scale with profitable ads with a team they can call on speed dial, tag them or send them this post. Thank you for your support, friends!

A dealership told me to stop selling so many trucks. Seriously. I was breaking commercial-vehicle sales records and they capped how many deals I could do. So I left and started Glynn Fleet. In hindsight, it was the best thing they could have done for me.

One of the strangest financial things we do in America is ask an 18-year-old who has absolutely no idea what they want to do with their life to pick a degree, borrow money for it, spend four years pursuing it and hope 22-year-old them still wants the career 18-year-old them picked. And somehow we’ve decided this is the “safe” path. College can be an incredible investment when you know what you’re buying. You want to be an engineer? Doctor? Accountant? Architect? Attorney? Great. There is a defined career on the other side and the degree is part of the price of admission. But “I don’t know what I want to do, so I’m going to college” might be the worst possible reason to spend six figures. Because tuition isn’t even the whole bill. Housing. Food. Transportation. Books. Fees. Interest. Four years of living expenses. And four years where you could have been earning money instead of spending it. The published annual student budget at an in-state public four-year college is now roughly $31,000. That’s about $124,000 over four years before accounting for the opportunity cost of not working full time. And nearly half of bachelor’s degree recipients graduate with student debt. Among those who borrow, average debt is around $30,000. Now compare that with an 18-year-old entering a skilled trade. They’re earning while learning. Accumulating thousands of hours of experience. Increasing their compensation as their skills improve. At 22, while their college counterpart is applying for an entry-level job, they may already have four years of earnings and four years of experience. But here’s the risk we almost never price into the college decision: 18-year-olds change their minds. The kid who thought he wanted marketing discovers sales at 24. The psychology major discovers commercial real estate at 27. The communications major realizes she wants to own a business at 30. Your degree doesn’t magically reprice itself because you finally figured out what you’re actually good at and want to spend your life doing. You already spent the money and the four years. Meanwhile, learning to weld, wire a building, repair HVAC systems, plumb a house, operate heavy equipment or maintain industrial machinery gives you something tangible: a marketable skill somebody will pay you for. And the ceiling isn’t the wage. Electrician → master electrician → truck → apprentice → second crew → five trucks → business owner. I’m not anti-college. I’m anti-spending $100,000+ because we’ve convinced an 18-year-old without a career plan that wandering around a university for four years is inherently more responsible than getting paid to learn something useful. If you know exactly why you need the degree, go get it. If you have no idea what you want to do yet, that’s perfectly normal. Maybe that’s a reason to WAIT before making one of the largest investments of your life, not a reason to make it. cc: @TS_Secrets

This is what makes Steven Bartlett elite. He takes a guy who’s known for his hilarious skits and asks him about his tough childhood. 99% of interviewers would just keep asking about the skits. How long they take to create, public blowback, etc. But tying his trauma to his comedy? ELITE.

With football season underway, I thought this would be a good time to introduce myself. I’m Brian and this is me at the 2026 United Bowl. What’s the United Bowl? It’s the championship game for the United Football League. What the UFL? It’s a football league full of former and aspiring NFL players. Why should you care? Because if you love football, you’ll love the UFL. Why am I telling you this? Because the incomparable @RepoleStable hired me and a very talented group of people to tell the story of the 2026 season. His first as owner of the @TheUFL For 20 years I’ve helped networks and brands tell stories on the small screen 📺 and now I want to help Creators tell stories that resonate on every screen.
