Simple, Fun, Direct Email Copy
Cooking has been a relatively new interest of mine. Whenever I get the opportunity to cook and experiment with new ingredients, I go ahead and do so. The dishes may or may not taste good, but at least I’ll know for the future. I remember talking to a friend one day and he told me … Read more
One aspect of American pop culture that I used to be largely obsessed with (And still am, but to a smaller degree) is zombies. Zombie TV shows, movies, video games. You name it. I’ve watched iZombie, Zombieland 1 & 2, Peninsula. I also used to play Left 4 Dead, World War Z, etc. Sometimes I … Read more
I was once asked this question in a podcast interview. “What is one thing you wish you knew when you started email copywriting?” I sat there thinking for a good few minutes partially because there were so many things I wish I knew. It’s hard to choose one. Then after a minute of complete silence, … Read more
I’m sure you heard the news from one source or another. But earlier this year, the television personality, Ellen DeGeneres was under fire for her supposed toxic behavior behind the curtains of her show. The media has been showing no mercy at all trying to spread the news like wildfire. Based on what I’ve seen … Read more
I used to be subscribed to the Morning Brew newsletter. If you’re not familiar with them, they send daily emails where they provide you the latest news in a very entertaining way.

I once watched a TED Talk by Apollo Robbins, who describes himself as… “The World’s Leading Expert on Pickpockets.” Funnily enough, his appearance reminds me a lot of Seth MacFarlane. But that’s besides the point. In the video, he talked about how he can pickpocket somebody’s watch, wallet, or phone by manipulating their attention. He … Read more
It’s amazing what you can find on the Internet these days. They’re either extremely impressive or extremely ridiculous. There’s just no in-between. For examples, One of my favorite things to watch are videos where people make art in the most creative ways. Those videos are always impressive. On the other hand, one of the more … Read more
Yesterday, I had the great pleasure to be featured on someone’s podcast show. If you want to listen to it, you’re going to have to wait. We did the recording yesterday, and it’ll take another 30 to 40 days for the host’s team to edit and publish the episode. But that doesn’t mean I can’t … Read more
In addition to music production, I also got back into art, specifically sketching. I remember I used to do it quite often several years ago. Back when I worked in Burger King, I would spend my break sitting with one of my co-worker’s boyfriend and drawing with him. Fun times. Then I stopped when I … Read more
