One of my all time favorite posts to write was about how to become a life coach (obv this is supposed to be humorous Face with tears of joy): https://copywritingcourse.com/how-to-become-a-life-coach/
Dusted off my Oculus Quest, experimented with the “social” apps like AltSpace. Still early, but ACTUALLY feels like a real world conference!
– Just walk up to people & start talking.
– Have “face to face” interactions.
– Can chat in groups or leave by walking away.

One of the ways I eliminate boring copy is using my “Caveman Voice.” I pretend I’m a dumb caveman who gets bored and confused easily. If I come across a boring part of the article I go, “THIS DUMB. ME NO LIKE.” ….and re-do that piece of copy to be tighter….or delete it.
Stay in house trying to work all day: Maybe get 1 hour of work done.
Go downstairs to co-working area: Get 5 hours of work done in 1 hour

‘HONK IF YOU FARTED’ caught me off guard. Nearly spat my tea out.
Found NevBlog post from 2015 where I make 2020 predictions! https://buff.ly/2YlmL6u
WRONG ABOUT: Oculus would be smaller, 3D printers in more households, Austin home prices would “dip” for 3 years. SSYS.
RIGHT ABOUT: AAPL, GOOG, AMZN, TSLA, BTC, 3D printing for commercial use.
