Own the Internet: The Bull Case for Ethereum May 24, 2021

Show notes

What if I told you about a business that:

Has strong network effects
Grew revenue 200x YoY
Is preparing to offer a 25% dividend
About to implement a permanent share buyback program?
That's pretty much Ethereum.

This episode is my bull case on Ethereum. It is not financial advice.

Prescription Drug Commercials: Why Are You the Way You Are? May 13, 2021

Show notes

Prescription drug commercials are confusing. People eating ice cream while a voiceover talks about herpes. The Cialis couple in the bathtubs in a field (backstory revealed below). The long list of side effects that seem much worse than whatever disease the advertised drug claims to cure.

Why Do Pharma Companies Market to Consumers?

What Are the Rules Around Marketing to Consumers?

Pharma Marketing is Evolving

So... Is Marketing to Consumers Bad?

Martha Stewart's Reign of Relevancy Apr 29, 2021

Show notes

In today's Not Boring Guest Post, Ali Montag writes about the original multi-channel creator: Martha Stewart.

For more than five decades, Martha Stewart has evolved to stay one step ahead of the curve. Montag writes, "Martha Stewart has, over the course of a 50-year career, with mystically perfect timing, refashioned herself from Wall Street stock broker to Connecticut catering chef, from the U.S.’s first self-made woman billionaire to a yoga-teaching inmate in federal prison, from a scandal-tainted villain to renewed brand icon, and from the picture of propriety to Instagram’s latest thirst trap."
