💎 5 Tweet Tuesday 💎
If you’re new around here, every week I share the 5 best tweets I saw in the past 7 days.
I scroll, so you don’t have to.
Let’s get to it:

In order to build a massive company, you have to look dumb along the way.
It really is a different skill set.”

Great point by Erik.
Another version of this is: “We spend the first 18 years of our life (school) just trying to fit in with the other kids. Then the next 18 years trying desperately to stand out as adults.”
#2 💎 The OG candy
They Don't Teach You This About Honey Bees in Schools 🐝:
1. Honey is the only food that has every single substance to sustain life.
2. Honey doesn't ever turn bad. You can actually eat honey that was found in Egyptian tombs thousands of years ago. (if you dare) ‼️

For some reason I read this entire thread of 24 facts about bees. It’s great.
But if you don’t wanna click, here’s some of the best stuff:
Honey never goes bad, you can even eat honey that was made thousands of years ago and it’ll still taste good
The darker the honey it is, the less sweet it is. The lighter it is, the sweeter it is
It was the original antibiotic, used as an antifungal medication for generations
Bees don’t sleep. They work hard AND play hard

Great domain, Rob! I hope you make the world’s best site about chicken parm.
Now back to our regularly scheduled programming…we just worked with Rob to hunt down a dope domain name (you’ll see soon).
If you’re ever looking for a great domain broker, check out Snagged.com or just dm Rob directly on twitter
#4 💎 Champagne Campaigns
I get a message about once / day saying the outbound champagne campaign we ran at Brex, or a variation I suggest to the founder or sales leader, is the best performing demand gen campaign the company has ever tried. A couple examples attached.

Check it out - this guy, Sam Blond, ran revenue and sales for Brex (valued at $12b early last year).

One of my favorites - he would send champagne to target customers when they fundraised + would track the results (he broke down the play-by-play here).
Incredible execution and ROI
