5 Tweet Tuesday - January 21, 2025
💎 5 Tweet Tuesday 💎
Out of 500M daily tweets, only 5 deserve your attention.
Here’s this week’s starting lineup:
#1 💎
The smartest person in the room is not the one with an answer, but the person asking the best questions.

Remember 8th grade math class?
Ms. Bickell (my math teacher) taught me that a line had 2 key things:
“Y-intercept” (how high it starts)
“Slope” (how steep it grows)
Being a person with a lot of ‘answers’ is like having a high y-intercept. It feels good at the start.
But asking great questions is like having a big slope. No matter where you start, you’ll end up on top.
#2 💎
The national Girl Scouts organization collected $192,663,447 in gross receipts and gave only 8 million of that to local chapters.
Meanwhile, they spent $18,481,806 in IT services.
This is all publicly available information on their 2023 IRS 990 tax filing.

Holddd uppp. What?!
$192M in revenue, and only $8M goes to the girls?
Where does the money go?!
…*checks notes*...
Oh ok, they spent $5M on Salesforce, and $2M on SAP software.
Why do girl scouts need SAP software??
Why did they invest $38M in the Caribbean this year?!
I demand thin mints answers!

You know something weird ? The number of people reporting going to dinner parties at least once per week has fallen 90% since 1950. Actually it fell 90% by the 1990s. Just weird, since there’s no law against dinner parties. You can just ask your friends to come over for dinner.

OK, simple challenge: host a dinner party for friends in the next 30 days.

Marketing made for 1 real person outperforms marketing made for 1000 hypothetical people.
Whenever I forget this - and it’s easy to - my marketing suffers.

Same for writing. Write as if you’re writing to 1 person (and then it will appeal to many)

I had my TikTok open and I realized it was shutting down as I was scrolling, it was like I was on the deck of the Titanic
