What are the most useful items in your workspace?

The full Hue lighting setup that goes from bright down to mood lighting with one button push. I’m big on lighting as ambiance as it helps me work!

How do you spark creativity?

Number one way is working with someone else next to me and I am somehow always more productive!
I will often turn down the Hue lights and get some comfy mood lighting and that helps.
I sit down on the couch in the office, pickup a book from the bookshelf, start reading, and ideas happen within minutes!

What does your typical day look like?

Generally I’lll have 1 or 2 quick calls with employees or contractors, on Thursday I do live Office Hours, and then random consulting sessions. 1-2 times a month I try to record a podcast with interview guest. I also try to hang out with a lot of current friends and new friends, a great way to learn new stuff. I meet everyone almost exclusively on X.

What is one simple copywriting tip that the average writer often overlooks?

First think about why people should care about something. People like stuff that makes them richer, better looking, smarter, or entertains them (preferably all of the above)!
