Even when we're trying to be rational, human beings make decisions emotionally.

I want an AR/VR headset for my iPhone. (Even if it's 3rd party)

Hot damn.

@adamwathan and @steveschoger are on 🔥 with this:

Sweet! Go watch my full #laracon talk

...and then go get @marketingdevs ;)

https://twitter.com/tristanbailey/status/903584368580550656

Phew. Lots going on.

Needed a track to ease me into the day today. Found this:

A blog should be BLAZING fast for visitors.

It should easily scale up when traffic increases.

(Without the need for expensive hosting)

Great stuff from @studiofellow:

"Learn the right things at the right time in your design career"

Flying to Victoria today to hang out with @mikevardy for the morning, and then doing a retreat with @pjrvs and @studiofellow 🤜🔥🤛

Already hearing from people who have won prizes! This is fun.

@taylorotwell @jeremyvaught Shit!!!

@alphacolin I've heard this is good:

And here's the new @megamaker podcast:

👉 "Do this before you do ANYTHING else" 👈 https://overcast.fm/+F113cNgAU

@supacruz @marketingdevs @withcoach @stripe @PayPal @CashNotify The Stripe payments show up in @CashNotify

@pbmarcano Yes. That's true. I miss most live streams.

Do you ever watch pre-recorded streams?

Which do you prefer? FB Live, Instagram Live, or YouTube Live?

Going live with @SingleFounder right now.

Talking about bootstrapping software products.

I don't like to bash creative work.

But GAWD, Apple.

My friend @SachaGreif interviewed me for a http://indiedojo.co/ blog post.

Here's an excerpt:
https://youtu.be/bGWqLFLrY-I

Dear @telus:

I've been trying to get Pure Fibre hooked up since October. Multiple phone calls + online bookings.

Still no install date. 😫

@SachaGreif @VulcanJS ☝️ btw – @SachaGreif is one of my favorite writers on the web.

I refer to this piece often:
https://medium.com/my-thoughts-7/the-product-spectrum-bb2084b6f5b3?source=linkShare-a02dd1574d08-1501552490

@adamwathan We're just getting on our plane to Toronto now. 😉

@TheCraigHewitt @daverodenbaugh Churn is a lagging metric.

Usage + outcomes (or lack of) will show you if you'll have a churn problem in 3-6 months.

@koomai Yes! Two good books: one by @alanklement (here in NYC)

and the other is by @claychristensen 👍

@chris_hawk @daverodenbaugh @ianlandsman Wonder Woman was amazing! Watched it with my teenaged daughter. Probably our favorite movie of the year!

@chris_hawk Good advice gives you an imagination for what's possible.

It opens your mind to trying new things.

People often buy products for the same reason.

They need something fixed in their life or business.

They're looking to hire software, etc.

Pipes leaking? You call a plumber.

Rodent infestation? You call an exterminator.

People hire people to fix things in their lives.

☝️ This post was inspired by the #JTBD customer journey.

Here's another (embarrassing) case study from 2014:

@RobertGreene Agreed!

Another way of saying this is:
"Focus on your own shit."

What brand should I focus on?

This http://www.dayone.com site is amazing.

There's no actual text on any of the pages. All images. 😮

He *just* launched his Kickstarter:

@A_Strong_Canada @scottsantens Yes.

The irrigation company shows up at my doorstep every fall:

"Want us to winterize your system for you?"

I ❤️ it.

"Yes please!"

@kylefox @adamwathan Lol. You just described the whole insurance industry.

Worried about your kids' future job prospects?

http://buff.ly/2qXWDwa

Now that's transparency! 😂

I'd initially heard they didn't allow moonlighting. It's encouraging to see their actual policy out in the open.

Other bosses: take note!

@anne_theriault Oh no! Insomnia is the worst.

I suffered forever. Recently started trying cannabis. So far 👍

👍 Enjoyed @chris_hawk's chat with @khierstynross:

Happy #InternationalWomensDay! 💯

@cliffordoravec everywhere I go I see people on YouTube. SnapChat and Insta have a young demographic... but *everyone* uses YouTube.

To really understand the cultural divide (especially between young and old, religious and non-religious) you need to on Facebook.

@sarahmei oh no!!!

(Glad you're ok!)

Could Apple, conceivably, buy Sony?

(I think this actually a good idea)

“Quit running your design business like a door-to-door vacuum salesperson.” – @studiofellow http://buff.ly/2m119Ik

@kaisdavis you're one of the examples I used for this trait ☝️ in my vlog today! 🙌

I’ve referenced this article by @ossia about 5 times to friends in the past week. https://medium.freecodecamp.com/bill-gates-and-elon-musk-just-warned-us-about-the-one-thing-politicians-are-too-scared-to-talk-8db9815fd398#---0-87.b2clexjhj

@nathanbarry the audiobook is also really good 👌

BTW – the @musicformakers track in that video is BUMPIN'! ☝️

Screengrab from the video I'm editing right now.

Alright @clientgiantrob, I answered your question in a new vlog:
