Someone called today.
Peter said Use a Fake Name.
I’ll call him Steven.
Steven is Everyone.
He said he wrote a
good and important book.
Why are you calling me
I asked. Because you can
help me find an Influential
Person to write about my book.
Not you he said.
You are not Influential.
He’s right.
Congrats and thanks for identifying yet-another brilliant theme: "Inadvertent Insult Humor." Like the time I was told I was "perfect," then suddenly, too old (35...!) and too ethnic (well, okay) to be the On-Air Host for a cable TV station in Phila. They ended up hiring a gal so featureless and bland, no one even knew there was an On-Air Host, when they did surveys. So a year later, after I had enthusiastically moved to NYC, I got a call asking if I would move back to Phila for the job. "Nah," I said, "I'm even older and more ethnic now."
Little does Steve know that you influence out of the box, and get results 🤫
