We're continuing to have an incredible time aboard the Contra Cruise, the event I
co-host with economist Bob Murphy.
Last night, after our daytime sessions and dinner, we had a private karaoke event for our people only. It was memorable, I'll say that.
I came within inches of singing. If the ship had had Owner of a Lonely Heart, I just may have. But it
didn't.
I thought to myself: now there's the very definition of a First World problem.
This luxurious cruise ship serving me exquisite food, and which can boast an ice skating rink, a Broadway-style production of Cats, a carousel, an AquaTheater featuring water-based acrobatics, a zipline, and a
surf simulator, didn't have the song I preferred for karaoke.
I survived.
I go out of my way to make sure my daughters grow up appreciating the miracles around them. Things like voice-to-text functionality on a smartphone are astonishing phenomena, not mere background features of life to be taken for
granted.
Not surprisingly, these miracles can affect how we make a living, or a side income.
Instead of borrowing $1 million from the bank, you can open your own online store, with no need for physical inventory, for next to nothing, and with virtually no overhead.
Once you start making sales, you can use Facebook's Lookalike Audience feature to say: you see the people who have purchased from me? Find more people just like these and show them my ad.
Marketers from 20 years ago would have slit their own grandmothers' throats for a tool like that.
This is how my listeners have been doing so well in eCommerce. Not that there isn't work involved -- there obviously is -- but the technology carries a tremendous load for you, as opposed to what some poor soul with a brick-and-mortar store had to do in 1957.
For heaven's sake, Fred Lam built an entire store in
front of your eyes in a grand total of five minutes and four seconds last night.
It's a different world. Yet so many people still make their livings as if it's 1982.
He also delved into some different material from what he covered the first time he presented for us.
The clock is ticking, though.
If you're thinking "Doggone it, it's about time I got off the fence and did something," this particular something has been life-changing for people who listen to my show.
Check out the replay,
which won't be up for long:
