What's the Problem?

*Imagine a New York accented man raising his voice at you*

“What’s the problem huh”?

A 6-foot-tall man with a voice deeper than his father’s grave is speaking to your soul.

*Silence*

You look around in panic, and his voice undertone only grows deeper…..

“I said, what’s the problem?!?”

Now, without anywhere else to look you go teary-eyed, your adrenaline pumping and your fight or flight mode revving up like an engine.

And then……

This was what was going on in my head while trying to figure out the bottleneck to the brand I’m working with.

Utter chaos.

What’s the problem?

What’s the alternative?

Now this is curated for email marketing, but if you are on my list that’s why your here!

So after thinking through this problem, I’ve come up with some ideas, and I’ll leave them for you in tomorrows email.

For now, I’ll send you to a video I think will help with your creative process:
