Hi Audrey, 

Here's your weekly email of things I'm reading, listening to, thinking about, buying, or just plain paying attention to. I hope you get something out of this, but if you don't and you decide to unsubscribe, I'll buy you a coffee for wasting your time.

Yep, I'm serious, just unsubscribe and I'll send you a gift card for a free coffee. 

What I'm Watching: "Feeling Through"

I stumbled across this short film on YouTube the other day and couldn't help but watch it.  The film, about a young homeless man who meets a deaf and blind man on the streets of New York, is moving in and of itself. But the movement that it inspired to connect thousands of people in the DeafBlind, blind, and low-vision communities, and connecting non-disabled people to the people and missions of those communities is pretty amazing. 

Podcast I Loved This Week: Robert Greene - "How To Master Your Dark Side"

I'm a huge fan of Robert Greene.  His book, "The 48 Laws of Power" was one of the first personal development books I bought in bulk to give friends and clients. In this podcast with Brad Lea (a giant in his own right), Greene discusses how to master your emotions and author a new path. Very powerful stuff. 

An Invitation for YOU...

The past several months I've slowly launched my group coaching program for entrepreneurs called Mavericks. It's a kick-in-the-ass combo of part support group, learning academy, and resource library containing my best coaching content acquired from the last 20 years of coaching. I keep the membership cost low so that the information and community can be accessible to all — and so that I don't feel super guilty if everything isn't perfect.

If you want to find out more, you can just click here. 

Here's a sample video from one of my series called "Mission Control - Your Goals Suck". 

It's less than 15 minutes and I think it offers a ton of great stuff. 

What I'm Thinking About - Time To Raise Your Prices 

The post-COVID-19 (is it post-COVID-19 yet?) economy is rocking. Consumers are consuming at extremely high rates and consumer confidence is on the rise. Unfortunately, a growing housing and employment gap are also accompanying this increase in optimism. So what to do to keep/attract employees who increasingly can't afford to live in the places that need workers?  A simple start is to increase pay, and a great way to do that without shrinking your bottom line is to increase prices.  Here's a great article that details how much you can increase prices without affecting bottom-line productivity. 

Thanks For Reading
