New cover for Marketing Yourself


Hello Reader,

I redesigned the cover for my book. (Everyone on the Wait List knows why, I emailed them about it last week.) It took some time on 99 Designs, but I think the end result is worth the extra sweat.

The world is going to see this book cover when it launches on the 12th of August. But if you want to see the new cover of my book right away, I reveal it in this YouTube video.

Take a look, and give a like and subscribe while you're over there. I plan to produce more video content this year.

Having access to a wide variety of different bodies of knowledge gives the generalist the ability to make unexpected connections between vastly different ideas. In a study of Nobel Laureates, researchers...

🤖 “There will be two types of companies in the future: those who are leading with AI, and those who are irrelevant.” - Jeetu Patel, Cisco Hello Reader, There’s a growing difference between people who use AI and people who think with it. That’s the difference between overwhelm and opportunity. Between playing catch-up and setting the pace. The AI F.A.S.T. Class Series is built to bridge that gap. It’s not another theory-heavy course about “the future of work.” It’s a practical, hands-on...
