Some days you are troubleshooting, other days you are just curious, either way this space is here to make things simpler, even if it takes a couple tries to get it right.
We all know the struggle. You want to send an old photo to a friend on Snapchat to keep your “Streak” alive, or just to show them a memory. But if you send it from your Camera Roll normally, it appears as a Blue Bubble (a chat message). It doesn’t count for streaks, and it … Continue more
We have all been there. You are in the middle of a conversation, and the perfect word is on the tip of your tongue… but it just won’t come out. Most people try to fix this by reading more books. While reading helps you recognize words, it doesn’t always help you retrieve them when you … Continue more
The biggest mistake new business owners make is thinking their customer is “everyone.” If you try to speak to everyone, you end up speaking to no one. Your marketing becomes bland, generic, and expensive. Defining your target audience isn’t about excluding people who might buy from you. It is about focusing your marketing budget on … Continue more
It usually happens in a split second. You were trying to block a spam bot. Or maybe you were trying to hit “Not Interested” on a boring Reel.

We live in an era where data breaches are as common as rainy days. You wake up, check the news, and see that another major airline, health insurer, or streaming service has leaked 50 million passwords.

Let’s be honest.

We have all been there. You are trying to find that one specific photo, link, or “hello” from three years ago. Maybe it is a chat with a long term partner, and you want to see how awkward your first conversation was. Maybe it is a massive work group, and you need to find the … Continue more
Snapchat is designed to be ephemeral. Messages disappear, stories vanish after 24 hours, and privacy is the whole point of the platform. But that design philosophy creates a massive headache when someone suddenly drops off the face of the earth. You go to send a streak, or a funny video, and their name isn’t where … Continue more
We have all dealt with it. A friend request pops up from someone you don’t know, but they have three mutual friends. Or worse, a profile with a generic anime photo starts commenting weird things on your business page. Or the absolute worst-case scenario: someone is impersonating you, using your photos and your name to … Continue more
I spent last Tuesday negotiating with a criminal syndicate based in Eastern Europe. They weren’t asking for a hostage exchange or a briefcase full of cash. They were asking for 0.5 Bitcoin because they had encrypted the laptop of a freelance photographer in Seattle. She was crying on the other line. Her entire portfolio weddings, … Continue more
It’s the worst notification you can get. You look down at your phone. Your banking app says you just spent $1,200 at an electronics store in Miami. The problem? You live in London. Or Sydney.
