We’ve all lost our “third place” – that place that isn’t either work or home. Hell, most of us have lost our “second place” in layoffs or office closures – and if this is you, you need to read last week’s post on surviving working from home.

It took a global pandemic for me to start blogging again, so there’s that. Over the last two years of not blogging, I’ve been doing a deep-dive in lead organizing Fort Collins Comic Con and Fort Collins Startup Week, along with a lot of course building for small businesses on Skillshare.

I’d said it out loud. “Oh, looks like I’m about to get kicked out of another meetup group.” Someone at the meetup had just described using the shitshow known as Instagress to promote their product on Instagram.

Been a while, huh? I screwed the pooch by leaving you hanging after I dropped the bomb that Most Marketing is Total Bullshit. Why? I lost my mind when it came to working, work-life balance, and the like. Newsflash: work-life balance is a fucking myth. It doesn’t exist. Yes, you theoretically can “balance” work and personal time.

Soon you’re going to see all sorts of affiliate ads floating around for a certain business marketing class with a huuuuuuuuge price tag. You won’t see it on my blog. I hate that affiliate nonsense. I’ve been there, though. I know that terrible pull; the drive of curiosity to know the one secret that will unlock your personal fortune, right? It’s bullshit.
