See you in Dallas!

I’ll be attending the 1000watt’s Brand and Marketing Summit this week in Dallas.

Drew Meyers, from Geek Estate, and I will be giving a talk about “How to break through the proptech noise”. If you are vendor in the space and attending the event I think you’ll enjoy this presentation.

Reach out if you are going to be there.

Vendor Alley 2024 Holiday Gift Guide

It’s that time of year again! I’ve curated a great list than will sure to bring a smile to anyone on your holiday list.

How about a deck of fancy playing cards by Theory 11? I like to keep a deck of playing cards in my carry on or laptop bag. This low tech solution is great to fiddle or practice some flourishes while on longer Zoom meetings. Leave your boring Bicycle decks at home and choose to carry a a fancy deck from Theory 11. Great stock stuffers.

FreshBooks Are you recently liberated from your nine to five and started a consulting company? Have a side gig? Or just a regular old start up in need of a simple way to bill and track expenses? Freshbooks is your answer. Honestly this is the best piece of software that I’ve used in a long time. Super simple to set up and makes you look pro right from the start. Highly recommend.

Heavy Duty Twist Ties – Okay hear me out. How many damn charging cables to do you have in you bag or just laying around at home? Too many I bet, and they are a mess. I’ve tried the velco ties, but they are too long and can be a pain in the ass. These aren’t the twist ties that came with your sandwich bread bag, these are heavy duty and meant to last. Trust me, you’ll thank me later!

CIVIC Access Pouch 2L If you are like me you have a lot of cables, pens, chargers, adapters and such. I’ve tried many EDC pouches but found the traditional accessory pouches lacking, mostly due that I need to empty the entirely out to find what I need. That’s why I love this design. It’s perfect for travel since I use it as a desk caddy in my hotel room. I got mine in Burnt Orange but they come in 3 different colors.

The Art of the CMA Last, but not least, is my book, The Art of the CMA. Can’t think of a perfect gift for your board of directors? Click here and send me a list of their names and I will personalize each copy with a special message and an autograph. Bulk discounts are available!

Happy Holidays!!

Stop and look at the thing

Some Friday fun. If you want to get a peek in to what I find inspiring here you go.

Robert Reffkin defends Compass leaving CCP

“They’re eating the cats. They’re eating the dogs. They’re eating the pets, of the people who live there.”

At least that’s what I heard. ; )
