As the current administration leans into “War” (despite the sales pitch bait and switch promise to end all wars within 24 hours), it makes sense to oppose that at its core as a matter of positioning. What’s the opposite of war that also represents a broken promise? The message is simple. “Peace.”

That said, this is really, really good copy. When you are up against an incumbent, it’s important to position yourself as a challenger brand and this does so masterfully without alienating the folks that they need to convert. Strong words can drive real change. jamestalarico.com/why-im-runni...

Mountains of shame on Shari Redstone and everyone else involved here trying to settle such a ridiculous and baseless legal action. They’re so poor, all they have is money and they will eventually pay the price for their grotesque behavior.

The Shopify Memo: https://chrishandy.blog/2025/04/16/the-shopify-memo.html

Everyone's got a hot take on the infamous Shopify memo… and most of them are missing the point. It's not about replacing employees. It's about waking them up. You can’t wait this one out.

That's not a joke. Those folks are real... and everywhere. And let's be honest: if they haven't caught up to 2012, they're definitely not using AI or LLMs to get things done in 2025. This isn't about age. It's about mindset. Comfort. Complacency.

If your use of AI starts and ends with "write me a blog post," you're already falling behind. It's not about the memo. It's about the mirror.

You've probably worked with someone who… - Still can't figure out Slack. - Thinks "the cloud" is a scam. - Needs a meeting before the meeting about the meeting. - Has never Googled their way out of a problem. - Can't use half the tools the rest of the team relies on.

Product marketers and copywriters often talk about “the hook”. But never disclose the real secret: “the bait”. 🎣 In today’s “attention economy” you have to have something that gets their attention. And that’s the problem. No, I literally mean “the problem”.
