I’m not a fan of fast food. It’s horrible for you, it doesn’t taste good, and I hate myself every time I eat it. Luckily (for both of us), this story is not about fast food. It’s about a very clever business that built a small empire called right under the nose of its competition….
For nearly three years now, I’ve been a part of the “action team” for this little thing called The World Domination Summit. Maybe you’ve heard of it.

“Man, I’ve been on so many dates recently; it’s almost starting to wear me out a little,” I half-complained, half-boasted. “And I think I need to check my bank account—dating is expensive!” “Tyler, what are you trying to accomplish here?” was D’s only reply. “Are you trying to find a girlfriend? Because you’re doing it…
You get exactly one chance to make a good first impression. You don’t have to nail it, but it doesn’t hurt. To make a bad one, just take what would have been a good one and add indifference and a lack of effort. An explanation via two stories: A few days ago, I got this…
