[Test] Holiday Client Email – What If We Really Titled it This? 😬
Hey gang, As we near the end of the year, we started doing what a lot of folks are likely doing - summarizing the year, what has transpired, what we did right and what things we want to work on in 2023 and beyond. Summarizing the year can sometimes be [...]
A Sunset on 8 PM Sunsets
Hey gang, Here in Indianapolis we are down to the last three days of having a sunset occur past Cody's 10 and under bedtime and occasionally my self imposed 40 and under bedtime - 8 PM. How will you be using these final 3 days of late evening sunshine? Me, [...]
Yes, Your Brand New Business Idea is Awesome
Hey gang, Have you ever had a brilliant idea for something that you are positive will be awesome - an idea you're sure that no one has ever thought of making or providing as a service? But then you go online and instantly find out with a quick search that not [...]
9 Ways to Not Hate The Game, the Games, or ‘the game’
Hey gang, I figured out a catchy subject line but I have no idea how I am going to connect three disparate topics, so I'm just going to write 9 random thoughts that if I was lucky, may have received a like or two on Twitter (if I used Twitter). 1) Watching the [...]
T-Minus 3 Days Until T-Day
Hey gang, I'm already regretting my subject line - what the heck is T-Day? It looks like I simply misspelled 'today' or am just too extraordinarily lazy (guilty) to type out the name of the annual federal holiday typically celebrated by eating the other, other white meat. And thinking of that, how [...]
7 Years and One Day
Hey gang, 7 years ago (and a day) I announced I was going to spend all of my time trying to make Sharp Guys' a full time gig. At the time, my family helped me announce with this picture (aww). I think partially due to the awesome might of that [...]
How to Become a Celebrated Softball Coach (and how I must have failed)
Hey gang, It seems like yesterday since I last sat down and wrote one of these expansive random emails to the nearly 500 of you that receive it but it wasn't, it was 8 months ago. 8 months of pent up dumb words are flowing through my head so bear [...]
Fool Me Once, Shame on… Shame on You
Hey gang, Have you ever needed to go out to your car and grab something really quick – maybe you forgot your wallet or headphones or sunglasses? No point in grabbing my keys, you think (rather smugly), I always leave the car unlocked. With a knowing pull of the handle [...]
Does Kanye West Hate Sharp Guys Web Design?
Hey gang, Last week I read music titan and Presidential hopeful, Kanye West, had made a speech that some (all) found offensive where he railed against beloved Underground Railroad heroine, Harriet Tubman. The next morning I woke up in a cold sweat with the thought that though Ye's never heard of me and may not [...]
I Wrote a Children’s Story and Other True Things You Should Know About
Hey gang, I gave the newsletter the summer off for good behavior but now it's back, a little rusty but as bad as ever. First off, have I got a story for you (literally) - a little while back I accidentally wrote a children’s story. Accidentally you ask? Yes. My subconscious [...]
No Laughing Matter – My Pitch for Venture Capital ?
Hey gang, People that have read these emails in the past know that I use an outlandish number of ()s within my writing. Often times I use these ()s as asides or for the sake of sarcasm. My friends that know me best may say that's because even when [...]
I Have a Really Crumby House
Hey gang, So over the past few months I bought a black desk - well, now that I think of it, I have to go a little further back. In 2017, the fam and I went all in on buying a new house. By all in, I mean we went [...]
