5 Quotes I think you'll really love

Yooooo!!!
Top of der mornin t’ yas?

Hope there’s a Spring in your Step. You spritely two-stepper, you. You spirtely little minx.

Soz, in advance, I’m being a lazy shit this week.

No full-shabang newsletter this week.

Had a brash brace of Pete Tong on the podcast recording front.

Lost a whole podcast I’d spent HOURS and HOURS and HOURS planning. FUCKING technology these days. These things happen.

And, another podcast, which I drove 8 hours to record - the audio is totally fooked as it was picking up an interference from a phone. Never happened been for.
Errrrghhhhhhhhhhhhh

Been quaffing Quavers and Demolishing Digestives and Robinson’s Orange squash to remedy the woes.

Here’s 5 quotes.

I love quotes. As Jimmy Carr says “I love quotes, because quotes are when everything is boiled away you’re left with truth”

1. Jeff Bezos:

“Be stubborn on vision, flexible on details”

Fun-balivable jeff. He looks more like a Geoff than a Jeff. Alas, we move.

2. Marcus Aurelius

"Do not think that what is hard for you to master is humanly impossible; and if it is humanly possible, consider it to be within your reach."

Clearly Sparky Marcy hasn’t tried to order a McDonalds. 9 pints deep.

3. Rick Rubin

“There's a reason we are drawn to gazing at the ocean. It is said the ocean provides a closer reflection of who we are than any mirror”

Can’t quite say the same about Bognor Regis in February, Ricky.

4. Ernest Hemingway

“For sale, baby shoes, never worn”

Maybe the greatest most powerful and beautiful short story of all time.

5. Seth Godin

“Branding is the act of building a resilient story, that finds a spot in someone's brain because they want it there”

Because they want it there, might be the most important part of that sentence.

Back to it next week!!
