On Picking Someone’s Brain
I really hate the term “Pick Your Brain.” First off, it just sounds yuck. Secondly, when you want to pick someone’s brain it usually means you want FREE advice. To me pay people for their time, especially if you’re picking their brain on something they do for a living. What do you think?

A Fun SEO Win
Not a hugely searched term in Google, but I come up in multiple locations for the term Philly Startup Advisor. It’s a one-pager setup on Carrd.co and isn’t even a .com. It’s a freaking .us! What I find interesting is that so much emphasis is put on the .com domain suffix and the fall of…
