jer979Purpose Struggle
Yesterday, I decided that my blogging career should come to an end. I was doing myself a disservice. I told myself that the goal of the posts was to dig deeper, peel back the layers, get down to the core. But by publishing online (or on-chain as the case may be), I was subconsciously writing for others, even if I told myself that I didn't care if others read. So, in an effort to be more authentic, I figured I'd stop publishing and start doing a private journal. Within 2 hours of that decision...
jer979Value. Happiness.
I feel happy. It's fun, it's light, like a feather floating at the beginning of Forrest Gump. But, like the feather, it's not grounded. It can flitter and float away. Value is also ephemeral. We know it when we see it. We feel it, somewhere deep inside. Something connects to us, saying "yes, this is worth it." The "it" that it's worth is energy. Energy in the form of time, attention, money. The things of which our possession is limited. There's a reason why all the great traditions point to "...
jer979Coffee with AI
Every day for the past month, I’ve had a coffee date with AI. I literally sit down, with a cup of coffee, with an appointment on my calendar that says “coffee with AI”. During that time, AI (I’ve used ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, and Venice) and I literally have a chat, the way I would with a friend. It’s not “write this letter for me” or “do this or that.” No, it’s a chance for us to have a conversation about whatever topic I want. Many days, recently, at least, it’s been about quant...

I sold Never Stop Marketing a month or so before Covid started, but retained a small portion of ownership as well as my email address.
However, the time has come to let go of that.
NSM was-and is- a critical concept in marketing. You should never stop.
It served me well on two tours of duty, from 2008-2012 and again from 2016-2020.
At its height, it was a solid brand and I’m proud of what was built there, with the help of many people.
However, an important part of life is learning when it is time to let go.
With a number of changes, including working at Radix, Google starting to charge for domain services, the cost of maintenance of the Word Press site increasing, and the technology being increasingly outdated, it was becoming a relic.
So, with Donny, the current owner of NSM, we have decided it’s time to retire the active use of NSM website and email. We’ll retain the domain b/c, why not.
For now, however, that era is over.
