Question for you guys
These past few months have been wild! If you had asked me on March 1st how I would cope with being on lockdown, I would have laughed in your face. And yet, here we are. We’ve had some time to process, reflect, and hopefully begin emerging on the other side of this crisis, so I […]
I’m exhausted
I’ve been up past 4 am each day this past week, responding to people who really need help. They lost their job, their business is shut down, they need money right now for rent, and they have kids to feed. How many local businesses around you are struggling? Want to help your local restaurant, chiropractor, […]
A lot of you have been reaching out for training, support, and jobs.
The Course Catalog shows the price of the course. You don’t have to pay. Tell us which course you want and our team will unlock it for you, free. Yes, we are hiring– but instead of sending your resume, show you’re qualified by earning the badge at the end of the course and having completed […]
I booked a dozen flights on Southwest Airlines, all over the country.
But before you call me crazy, let me explain… Flights right now are super cheap AND the airlines let you change them with no penalty. So think of this like a pre-paid discount voucher you can use later. Make sure you don’t book flights that are in transit at the same time, since airline systems […]

If you’re a local business, your Google listing is probably confusing people on whether you’re open or not.
My friend Welton Hong shows you how to clear that warning in under 60 seconds, so your customers know you’re still open for business (even if limited hours) or that you can still call them. https://www.facebook.com/welton.hong/videos/10157532901703661/UzpfSTE4ODExNjI5OjEwMTAyNjU3MjgxMDg5Mzc5/
Here’s what I’m doing about Coronavirus and why
How about you? https://www.facebook.com/dennisyu/videos/10102594348826139/
Talking about “going viral” right now is a tone-deaf move.
Same for exploiting and exacerbating shortages, like that guy who has 20,000 bottles of hand sanitizer, he was selling at $20 a bottle. I’m not worried about getting Covid-19– probably a good chance I have it from all my travel. And if I come down with it, my friend who owns a chain of emergency […]
$68 for a jug of bleach at Walmart?
That’s ripping off desperate people– and it makes me mad. // At the end of this post, I’ll tell you what really pisses me off. But first– two minutes ago, a company with a stockpile of overpriced hand sanitizer messaged me, too. I get that it’s “just capitalism”, but now is not the time to […]
My friend, Ali, told me he got laid off today
Not sure how he’s able to pay rent due at the end of the month, pay his bills, or care for his kids. Other restaurants and retail workers are losing their jobs– and it’s not their fault. My heart breaks. Same for workers everywhere– even entrepreneurs and agencies– as Corona rips through the economy. Loss […]
