Just listened to Empire Business - Quite a Pickle
I was the guy who was wondering why baldmove have so few content during that 2 months. Now I know.
I guess we sometimes learn our lesson in the hard way. But I hope it is good for baldmove in the long run.
*btw Is there a reason why you guys don't support https? You guys must know the benefit of using it judging from you two's background and there must be a good reason that you haven't done it yet

you guys have been on the internet before, right...? lol
it's pretty much just people with pitchforks and fire.
Glad you guys seem to be taking it in stride and not letting it derail the rest of the Empire. Here's hoping to the NextBigThing™ and maybe getting some of those Bezos pennies back again someday
Also, this just sounds like every business conversation ever. I have a microcosm of this every day which usually goes something like:
Client: So here's an idea, can we do this in the budget and schedule?
Me: No, that wasn't in the scope, and is kinda totally separate than what we're doing now.
Client: Oh, Okay. Good to know
smash cut to 2 hours later
Client email: So I went ahead and let my boss know about the new stuff you're adding and he's excited to see it.
Somehow I've encountered that sequence of events more than I'd like to know...
Sorry this turned into a world of disappointment, uber stress (seriously texting at all hours and expecting a response is whacked!!!) and being "sold". I truly believe like most hard things, you will come to truly value what you learned.
You clearly learned A LOT. It was so seductive, but it was a house of cards. It was fascinating to hear the development advice and suggestions that you were told - it was so off base.
There is something so unique about Bald Move. I know you are searching for a way to grow it and increase your incomes which is totally needed and understandable . I wish you the best and appreciate your work. I listen to your podcasts as I fall asleep at night - even ones where i don't watch the shows just because I enjoy listening to the 2 of you so much.
i agree with Aron this is just a learning step and the next big thing is out there and this will be crucial in the history of the empire.
i know they talk about employees. Hopefully they can eventually afford a sales/media/marketing person who can run these sort of things.
One of the things I love about you guys is how honest you are about everything. Unless you’re actually just a lying bunch of liars. If so, then shame on me I guess for falling for it and devouring all your content.
Glad you had relaxing vaca time and that you’re back doing what you love — being independent.
Also The Mew Pope was so good and I can’t wait to hear your take tomorrow! ... Mew Pope? Sure typo, why not. He’s the Jellicle Pope!
Live and learn... and get everything in writing.
Man I just want to say with hopefully not starting any beef, and this also hopefully not to be perceived as dick sucking, but I really do appreciate the BM business model, perhaps too pure at times for it's own good, but the business model that isn't "point to something, anything(!), in the room and I'll fuck it!" There is enough of that everywhere in life.
I am not a R&M guy, but I gave it a try, and I do hope the boys (and girls) succeed. I hope they are able to do it their way, though, without giving up who they are or what makes this feel like a community. 2019 seems like it was a rough year, so hopefully 2020 will make up for it.
Not sure if the boys will read this, but if you want to talk about agents and representation I'd be happy to share what I know and give you an idea of how and where to start looking.
Cheers
Treat it as a strength, not a weakness. Some days are super fucked up and the lessons you learn are taught in a manner way harder than they should be, but at the end of that day you’re a stronger person for having learned it.
Even though I am just one listener, I think there are many of us out there that want to balance between offering feedback without discouraging you and watching you guys swing for the fences. Keep swinging!
also, on the https thing, the cert is expired. I'm assuming you let it expire bc it wasn't working, but...
