Several years ago, when the popular comedian and libertarian podcaster Dave Smith joined us as a special guest
aboard the Contra Cruise (the annual event that economist Bob Murphy and I held from 2016 to 2019), he told me something that turned out to be not altogether true.
I asked him:
Can you do an informal session on comedy itself, where you discuss your knowledge and teach us some of what you know?
At first he hesitated. I don't really know that much, he said. It's not a matter of knowledge. It's instinct, it's experience, etc.
I asked him: can you just do it anyway?
So he did.
And for an hour, he proceeded to give us a masterclass in comedy off the top of his head.
Now let me be fair to ol' Dave:
He surely wasn't trying to deceive me when he said he didn't have all that much to teach. I'm sure that's genuinely what he thought.
And I'll bet even he himself was surprised when the knowledge and the insights just started pouring out. It really was an outstanding performance.
Because when you're good at something, and/or you know a lot about it, sometimes you don't realize just how much you know -- and, for that matter, how little the rest of us know.
I'm sure you see where this is going.
You, my friend, are Dave Smith.
You have knowledge about something that other people would like to have, but you may not fully realize it.
You should run with this.
As it happens, I'm quite fond of a brand new training program called Unbeatable, which teaches you how to create and make sales of online courses -- from conception to execution and marketing.
For the first eight hours, as Unbeatable was launching, it was $9. Now it's on a dimesale, which means the price goes up ever so slightly with each purchase -- so the quicker you get it, the less it will cost you.
Pick up Unbeatable before I come to my senses, and if you should ever create a course of your own between now and when I drop dead, I'll promote it for you on my show.
Want to promote your course on the Tom Woods Show without this offer? That'll be 500 smackers, my usual rate.
Savings to you with the offer I'm making in this email: about $491.
If there's even a slight chance you might want to take me up on this someday, then throwing down around $10ish today doesn't exactly seem like a crazy thing to do.
So go do the sensible thing before I close this offer down (which I'm doing in a few days so I don't wind up having to promote 30,000 courses) and the rest of your life is consumed with regret:
