Reading Time: 2 minutes
Here’s a bit about what I wrote, read and learned over the past week. I hope you find it helpful!
Blog posts from the past week
- The Growth Field Guide Assessment. Take this quick free assessment to see how your website stacks up.
- Banana Ball, by Jesse Cole. “To me, customer suggests some sort of transaction. Customers come and go. Fans never leave.”
- Using AI with your Analytics. I’ve been waiting for Google to add a simple AI interface to Google Analytics, but it still hasn’t happened yet. While I have no doubt that it’s coming eventually, I took it upon myself to create a simple version of that dream for our GreenMellen clients.
- Unlimited Memory, by Kevin Horsley. “I did not suddenly become a genius—I did not need to—I merely decided to use Kevin’s principles to transform my perceptions about my memory.”
- Clips are the main consumption method for the majority of the internet. “The world is ran by clips these days, on like TikTok feeds, Instagram Reels, and YouTube shorts. And like, it is arguably the most clippable thing ever. Any 10-second scene you could just throw on YouTube shorts and it go viral.”
- Our hotel has color TV. Virtually every tool is advertising some kind of AI integration; some of it is truly helpful, but much of it is just bolting AI onto an existing app to be cool.
Books that I’m reading
I read for a total of 9:12 last week with the following:
- Finished “The Sages“
- Finished “The Butcher’s Masquerade“
- Continued “How to Measure Anything“
- Started “A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court“
- Started “How to Talk to Anyone“
Tech Rec
Stealing the idea from my friends at the Tech Talk Y’all podcast, I’ll drop in some tech recommendation every week as well.
- Project Gutenberg. This site contains nearly 80,000 free eBooks, including classics like “A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court” that I’m reading now. It’s a fantastic resource for classic books.
I hope you found some value in this. If you ever have questions, ideas, or disagreements regarding anything I write, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
