You’re not gonna like this… but I’m about to make some pasta with shiitake mushrooms.
I put a whole tin of anchovies into the pot too because I don’t like measuring and saving opened ingredients.

#SorryNotSorry Cast iron pot with sliced shiitake mushrooms and a whole tin
Red pepper flakes too, of course.

Meanwhile the pasta water is boiling. Gonna subtract 2 minutes from the pasta’s cool time because I’ll add the cooked pasta to this pot at some point.

Btw I had a couple glasses of wine already. Wish me luck.
Grated a small mound of Parmesan cheese. Adding this to the mushroom mix.

When the pasta is done, I’m going to toss it in here with maybe 1 cup of pasta water.
Mixed the pasta into that mushroom-anchovy pot. Along with the cheese and pasta water. And a couple tablespoons butter.

Added zest & juice of 1 lemon and black pepper.

Needs something green — ideally chopped fresh parsley. But I don’t have any. 10/10 would make again.
In case you were wondering… this was appropriate salty, spicy, a little bit creamy, comforting, and delicious.

Will post ingredient list in next tweet.
• 1 (16oz) pkg pasta
• 1/2 cup sliced shiitake mushrooms
• 1 tin anchovies
• 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
• 3 minced garlic cloves
• 1-1/4 cup pasta water
• 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan
• 3 tbsp butter
• Zest & juice of 1 lemon
• 2 heavy pinches black pepper

5 elements of great marketing messaging — with real examples from Nike, Calendly, Always, and more:
1/ It's precise and value-driven.

Truly effective marketing messaging lies at the intersection of:

• Knowing your target audience
• Understanding their pain points
• Showing how your product is valuable
2/ It's specific.

It's clear who you're talking to. Your audience feels seen.

Example: Brands with B2C and B2B. See how they position the value of the same product.

@carebyginger:

• B2C: "On-demand mental health support, day or night."

• B2B: "Delivering 4.2x ROI." Delivering  4.2x  return on investment. Based on a compariso

Influencer marketing is more than partnering with celebs and huge social accounts.

I wrote about this in Adweek, which is free today.

6 ways to take influencer marketing next level:
1/ Tap into celebrities' interests.

@mrsharma famously gifted YouTuber Sara Dietschy with 100+ bottles of Hint Water after he learned she drank LaCroix.

@Touchland gifted their luxury hand sanitizer to Naomi Campbell after her airplane sanitizing routine went viral.
2/ Find the people who influence celebrities.

Nutritionists, personal trainers, hair stylists, makeup artists — but don't worry about their follower counts.

Influence > follower count

They already work with celebs day-to-day. Include them in your gifting program.

"Have a great day. I hope no one talks to you."

That's an inside joke I have with a friend.

It’s because sometimes the kindest thing you can do for someone is leave them be.

Here are 8 other easy and unexpected ways to be kind:
1/ Give them a timely "no."

If you're reluctant to commit to something, it's because you have competing priorities. So prioritize.

If it means saying no to something, you're doing that person a favor.

You're not making them wait for you to decide.
2/ Don't reply to them.

Did someone send you an email that elicits an, "Ok!" response in your mind? Something that doesn't require an answer?

Don't respond.

Break the cycle so that both of you can move on.
