The 1 Reason Why Corbett’s Starting A Blog (FS082)
On the show today, something completely new to us: a collection of current events that, remarkably, wove themselves around a common theme.
One of the biggest regrets of those close to dying is this: that they didn’t speak their mind more throughout their lives.
If you’re careful, you’ll hear that thread throughout the stories we bring to you this week. Enjoy!

- 5m: Corbett explains the blog challenge. (Discounted hosting, Fizzle freebie, 7 day email series from Corbett.)

- 42: Mailchimp releases a new UX book, gives away profits.
- 46: Corbett’s new favorite nerd belt. “Looks pretty slick too!”
- 49: A tip on charging your phone (hint: it flies) and Barrett’s experience with Apple pay.
- 53: Yik Yak. We have to continue to embrace what we don’t understand.
- 58: One of the biggest regrets of the dying: not speaking your mind. Sharing secrets, personal blogging, etc… a rant from Chase. (“Solidarity,” btw, is the word I was looking for.)
- “Everything falls apart… do it anyways.”
