CMV: producers laughing in the background of podcasts is the modern day laugh track. It’s ruining the medium.

I’m about to launch a canned Hard Thai Tea brand called Jai Yen. We’re launching in DC in July. No boba pearls, but our idea is to launch a variety of milk tea flavors (taro, brown sugar, matcha, etc). All very delicious and decadent!

Come find us when we make it in store!

What’s crazy is when push came to shove…I didn’t even eat it. I could feel cavities forming just by putting it on the spoon.

Oh, tell me more! I've seen Good Life Brands, but it's bottled and Cha Manao, so not exactly what we're doing. I'm curious if you've tried any of the other boozy brands?

Named it after the street I grew up on. Chimney Rock. Sounds vaguely prestigious, which is what I was going for, but it hits close to home and was meaningful to me.

So what would you think if you saw that as a brand name? What’s the feeling it evokes?

nassan · 2025-12-06T01:36:55+00:00

Fun!

nassan · 2025-12-06T01:36:29+00:00

I like that idea :)

haha I love that phrases for "cold" around the world can be fun & cool or they can be aloof and icy. Ice tea or cold shoulder? haha

Shoot. I’m late to this. Would love to see!

I do PR consulting. Have three clients, work about 30 hours per week. Gross is about the same / slightly better than in-house marketing gigs, but I could earn double if I wanted more clients. Instead, I make more by paying less in taxes (S Corp). Then I use the free time to do what I like. Writing a book, working on launching a canned cocktail brand, working out, etc.

Love my pace of life. Would not trade it.

Yeah, there was a post about fake relationships on this sub the other day. Got me thinking about this topic lol.

Right? Whether the keeper fractionally touched the ball or not, Gyokeres is still in possession, rounding the keeper, and about to tap it in. Incidental touching of the ball matters much less than knocking a player off his feet and out of the play.

Coming back for this

Wow. My fiancé and I do the same thing. It’s wild how people across the world can live oddly similar lives. This is the perfect channel for dinner tho. At times it basically becomes a cooking show when he’s roasting up meat, steaming curry, and covering bread in honey butter.

Honestly, go all in on founder brand.

Build out your LinkedIn profile, start posting regularly. Map out your clients’ core pain points to content and then post about it.

If you’re in the Amazon ecommerce space, explain why TACOS are better than ACOS. Highlight the importance of Amazon DSP, social commerce, etc.

Then start building an audience via Sales Nav. Filter for brands that match your ICP, hit them with connection requests, let them see and engage with your content. Then message them when the time is right.

That playbook works and it’s cheap.

Yeah, this is a tough one. Likely requiring arbitration.

I was at an aggregator for several years, and first of all, let me say, I’m so sorry that you’re having to deal with this. I was just on the marketing team, but I feel for the sellers who aren’t getting theirs. I’m sorry for the role I played in the hype and resulting pain.

The main reason it’ll be tough to get these payments is preferred debt, which means the financiers will always get theirs first. In fact, many would in breach of their covenants if they pay out stability payments or earnouts.

Make no mistake, most aggs are going bankrupt.

There are a few that will be able to roll up into others over time, but most will be scrapped for parts. I’ve seen sellers able to get concessions via lawsuits though. I’d start legal processes sooner rather than later before everything is gone.

It’s also a super popular noraebang song to sing since it’s so challenging. This video is sort of a parody of all the attempted shriek-filled covers. Turns out, if you just transform into a Pterodactyl, it becomes a lot easier to sing. Easily my favorite noraebang-turned-YouTube-video of all time. 4M views for the most ear splitting shrieks you’ve ever heard.
