Hey folks! Happy Friday. Everett and I are competing in a jiu jitsu tournament tomorrow, so my brain is half on family life and half on getting choked by strangers. A couple other things on my mind: 1. Human Mode (Free Beta): I made a simple Gmail extension called Human Mode to help signal [H]uman-written email. It disables copy and paste while composing and prioritizes messages between people writing without AI. You can try it free today here. 2. Wordle: I'm a little late to the party on this, but do any of you play Wordle each day from the NYT? It's become a ritual every day in our home where I make my espresso, then sit down primarily with Penny (10) and Truman (8) and we work on it together. It takes like 3min but it's a really fun little tradition that has injected some play first thing in the morning. 3. Creating A Culture Of Reading: Our family is a reading family. Big time. Obviously the biggest contributor to this is that Chandler and I love to read. But I think another thing that has contributed to this is that as soon as a kid can read a chapter from a "chapter book" out loud to me, I buy them their own Kindle Paperwhite. (This just happened again this morning, thus why it's on my mind.) It's a big rite of passage in our family, and it so far has bred 100% bookworms. You can download e-books on Libby from your local library and we let our kids stay up in bed reading. Highly recommend. AMA. That's it for today! Hope you have a great weekend! Best, Blake |

Hey folks! Happy Friday! A couple things on my mind... 1) Secret Shopping: This is just a reminder to all of you marketers and founders, we need to regularly pretend that we're a customer and go through our entire sales and onboarding process (ideally incognito or ask a friend to do it.) I did this for a client last week and there is something weird that happens when you do this - you can talk about funnels until you're blue in the face, but when you say "I called in and didn't get a call...
Hey Folks, Happy Friday from Nashville! I’ve been speaking at the Integrated mastermind group all this week - absolutely amazing hearing from folks about entrepreneurship, family, faith, and how to live a life that combines and maximizes all three. Here are my main new ideas and takeaways I got from the week. Special Integrated edition, a couple of things on my mind… 1. Radically Accept Your Wife/Children: Unlike business, your family organization is one where you start with WHO, then figure...
Hey folks! Happy Friday! A couple things on my mind... 1. Link In Bio = Dead: I've been quietly shifting a lot of my social clients away from posting a link in their bio (nobody clicks it) toward automated DM's using ManyChat. Once they're in DM's you can share more relevant content, and then over time share lead magnets. So process looks like: - They follow you - You automatically DM them and ask them if they are following for x, y, or z. - Then you send them relevant reel according to their...
