I know I seem a bit aggressive here but two things ring true here. I can’t see how people put Colony in the same convo with New Haven pizza.
I can’t.
I had a pizza place in my neighborhood, in queens, one block from my house. A dozen more within striking distance. I started working at closest one as a busboy at 12 and pretty much lived there.
Fun fact: I delivered pizza for them and they didn’t know I wasn’t old enough to drive.
Growing up in NYC, I’ve eaten an absurd amount of pizza – New Park, Spumoni, Johns, and the list goes on.
When I came to Connecticut and learned about New Haven pizza, I was appalled. “Come on, it’s Connecticut” I would say.
Then I had it and g*d damn it’s good.
It’s hard to admit as a New Yorker but Connecticut has great pizza.
Then one day, I heard the buzz about Colony. I gave it a try and was astonished that it was even being mentioned. To my surprise, it made a foodie on the grams top list of Connecticut pizzas.
I keep asking myself why?
Why muck up the list when the top has such greatness. Why?
It’s like mentioning pineapple on a pie. F**kouttahere! #hotoilonmynuts

Most brands miss the mark because all they do is push products. But here's the kicker: products ain't humans! 🤖 Posting a pic of a Stanley Cup won't give it a heart.
So, what works? Humanizing the brand. Take Stanley, for instance. When a woman had a car accident and all that survived was her Stanley Cup, they stepped up and gifted her a new car. Bam! Instant human touch. It's not about the product; it's about what it represents. 💯
Dear parents, before getting your kids that fire gift they have been asking for, ask yourself if they're mature enough to manage that gift.
It’s one thing when you pay, and they break it the next day, but when you build it, omg I wanna wh👀p them.

Attention everyone! If your message is confusing, you won't be able to sell your product. To simplify your message, you need to ask yourself a very important question: Can you write down what your product is all about? Here's what you need to do next - start with a long description and then remove any unnecessary details until you're left with a clear and concise six-word sentence that perfectly captures your product's essence. If you can't explain your product simply, it's time to rethink it.
Yup, I'm diving back into that caring video convo. District is thriving because I cared, yet it wouldn't exist if I gave a damn. Listen up – to Birth District; I tuned into what the market craved. Designed it for them. But hold up, everyone thought I was nuts, and said it wouldn't fly. I even called WeWork; they shut me down. Now? Building's packed, co-work's buzzing.
So, should you care what people think? Complex, my friend. 🚀 #MarketWisdom #NoGutsNoGlory
P.S I actually care what you think, so don't break my heart and drop your thoughts in the comment😉
Caring about what other people think is essential, but it's also important not to care too much.
It's a delicate balance that can be hard to achieve. We often assume that people are paying attention to us, but in reality, they are usually caught up in their own lives.
Finding the right balance is the key. It may seem complicated, but once you master it, you'll see a significant impact on your life.
Let's revisit the age-old myth about success. You remember that snippet I dropped earlier, right? Well, here's the extended cut. The journey to success isn't a sprint; it's a marathon.
Now, why am I doubling down on this? Because society loves glorifying youth, making you feel like if you haven't hit your million-dollar mark by 30, you're somehow off track. But let me tell you, there are countless examples of people who achieved success later in life. Take Vera Wang, for example, who didn't start designing dresses until she was 40. Or Stan Lee, who created his first comic book at the age of 39. Forget that noise! This is a game of patience, hustle, and consistency.
Age is just a number, and your journey has a unique timeline. It's never too late to start your legacy. So, whether you're 30, 40, or even 50, drop the excuses, embrace the grind, and remember, the best chapters often unfold later in the book. 📖✨
This ain't a Nike ad, but just like the swoosh says, 'Just Do It.' Start your hustle now because success doesn't wait, and neither should you. 🚀
Let's talk about age and success. The stats say the average business founder kicks off their journey at 45, the average CEO takes the throne at 51, and the average millionaire hits the jackpot at 57. Now, if you're gunning for that billionaire status, brace yourself — that typically happens at the ripe age of 67. 🎉
Why am I telling you this? Because society's got this obsession with youth, making you think if you haven't hit your million-dollar mark by 30, you're somehow behind. Forget that noise! This is a marathon, not a sprint.
Life doesn't come with an expiration date on dreams. Your journey has its unique timeline. Be patient, work hard, stay consistent, and age like fine wine. 🍷
So, if you're over 30, 40, or even 50 and thinking you've missed the boat, think again! The business world doesn't check IDs at the door. Success doesn't care about wrinkles or grey hairs. It cares about grit, resilience, and a badass work ethic.
Let's talk about the relationship between age and success. Statistically speaking, the average business founder embarks on their entrepreneurial journey at age 45. The average CEO ascends to their position at age 51, and the average millionaire attains financial success at age 57. If you have ambitions of becoming a billionaire, you should know it typically happens around age 67.
Why am I sharing this information? Because society often places a disproportionate emphasis on youth, making it seem like if you haven't achieved financial success by your 30s, you're somehow behind. But that's not true! Success is a journey that unfolds at its own pace, not a race.
Life doesn't come with an expiration date on your dreams. Your path to success is unique and will unfold in its own time. Be patient, work hard, maintain consistency, and age like a fine wine.
So, if you're over 30, 40, or even 50 and feeling like you've missed your chance, think again!
Embrace where you are on your journey. Age is just a number; your hustle is what counts
Are you creating killer videos? Here's the secret sauce: curiosity, contrast, and conflict. Take Elon's recent Tesla vs. Porsche race. Genius move.
Curiosity: Who's going to win?
Conflict: Porsche fanboys losing it, especially by putting a truck carrying the weight of the same car it's racing against. Just mind-blowing.
Contrast: That unique green color against the silver.
Every great video needs these elements.
In entrepreneurship, the outcome isn't in the bling; it's in the grind. While some sell you on their success accessories, real success is in the journey, not the wardrobe.
Forget the outcome hype; focus on the work, the process, and improving daily. After all, diamonds are made under pressure, not in a flashy Rolex shop.
Ready for the real hustle?"
Degree or not to degree? The Shakespearean drama of our time! Here's the scoop: Skip the fancy parchment; what you need are skills, not a graduation hat emoji. 🎓💼
Skills come in all flavors – YouTube tutorials, apprenticeships, or just lurking around seasoned pros. Master your craft, clock those 10,000 hours (or at least binge-watch 10,000 hours of your craft), and voila!
Success is served. Who needs a degree when you've got skill-powered magic in your toolkit?
You don't hit the gym dreaming of workout routines; you're after the muscles, the beach vibes, maybe not the skinny jeans (nuts don't fit, right?). Let's cut the BS. Success isn't about the flashy stuff; it's about the grind, breaking through ceilings, and getting better every day.
So, entrepreneurs, shift your focus from outcomes to the real work and the process. That's the secret sauce! 💪
Attention is king. There's nothing like a good advertising campaign. The creativity, the cleverness, the art form, the writing, the concept, and how it all comes together, like a perfect meal.
Five days ago, Snoop Dogg announced that he was quitting smoke, and the whole Internet broke. Everyone was infatuated with this news.
Celebrities and everyday people declared that they were also going to give up cannabis smoking and inspired them to give up cannabis smoking. Some people were concerned for his health.
Why would he give up smoke? It's got to be something else related. Some people decided that it was because he was launching an edible, and it turned out to be something even smarter.
A @solostove campaign, announcing to the world that they have an innovation in the fire pit space that keeps you from smelling and keeps you from the smoke. This garnered billions of impressions far beyond the original tweet and Instagram post. Major media coverage, hundreds of news outlets reposted, and then it'll be guaranteed to be talked about, online, at home, and of course, at the Thanksgiving table. Congrats to the Martin agency. Remember one sentence, one tweet, one right person, and one right influencer can get you all the visibility that you need.
Attention is king, all hail the king 👑
Let's Talk Dirty… Lists and Clean Solutions! 🌱🤝
Are you really eating healthy? We're a society hooked on the dirty list – like strawberries filled with pesticides, contaminants, and chemical bombs. And the ugly truth? Even washing won't save you. Educate yourself on clean living. It's time for a nutritional revolution. 🌱
A solution might be to - Go Organic, even though they're quite expensive! 🌿
From store-bought to home-grown, choices abound.
Imagine plucking pesticide-free strawberries from your garden.
It's a strategy for your body and mind, boosting business energy and relationship quality. 🚀💼
So, next time, shop organic (even though expensive, consider it an investment) or plant your own garden. Clean eating isn't just a diet. It's a lifestyle upgrade. 🌟🌱
I would also love to hear other solutions to get us out of the pesticide in our food warfare.
Hustle with a purpose. Starting out, you hustle to eat and grab whatever you can. Chase various streams to eat.
But the real game-changer? Focusing on one idea, and building its value. Sell it for millions. That's the hustle to build wealth. Discipline beats diversification. Don't just eat; feast on the success you've built. 💰
Hustle to eat or hustle to build wealth? 🚀💰 You decide. Drop 'eat' or 'wealth' in the comments!"
Overnight success? More like a decade in the making. District didn't happen in a snap. Let me spill the beans.
Some might call it an overnight sensation, but the truth? The idea brewed in 2007, faced financial hurdles, and took years to align. Then came years of hustle, study, and skill-building to make it happen. Success is the result of preparation, hard work, and honing skills over time. It's not about the night but the years leading up to it.
So remember, overnight success is just the tip of a long, hardworking iceberg! 🌟
Competition is my jam. Keeps me sharp, innovative, and aggressive – it's the spice in the business game. But a word of caution: don't let it turn toxic. Stressing over competitors is a no-go.
Embrace it, be aware, want to beat the hell out of it, but don't obsess. It's a dance, not a war.
How do you view competition? Spill the beans in the comments! 🚀💼
Shift your mindset. Sometimes the best way to get more is to be consistent on the small things. Want to 100x your money without doing more work? Why settle for another $50k job when you can dominate and turn it into $100k? Get that stock plan, ride the market, and boom—bonus time! Scale up, insulate, and when a big fish comes, sell high! No extra hustle, just smart money moves. 💰💼
Entrepreneurship ain't sexy, it's lonely. Once you're the boss, you're just the check signer. It's a mental health disease; embrace the ambiguity. Will I get paid today? Who knows! Facing doubt, looking crazy, and smiling through it. That's the game. People think you'll fail, but it's cool—You gotta show them. Join the madness, start a business, and welcome to the journey. 😎🚀
