It was always something light: comedy, never drama or horror and so naturally, “Friends” (the sitcom) often made the cut. This backstory isn’t really going anywhere. I just thought it’ll be nice to title the comeback blogpost like I was a main character in one of my favourite sitcoms.
On the blog today, I share what I’ve been up to these past few months, and why I’m ready to blog again.
People prefer to be right. Right feels good, empowering, almost powerful and this is by design. Evolution rewards being right and punishes being wrong and few places show off this analogy like the Big Brother show. Fans of the show are deeply invested in the polarity of right and wrong and observing the social experiment that is the show through these lenses.
It makes for great TV and even greater online banter, but what it also makes for is a deeply invested audience for whom money is merely a tool in the advancement of what they believe to be “right.” This is an attentive and purchase ready audience and today on the blog, we’re sharing 4 tips for small business owners and personal brands to hack the transition from fandom to profits off the Big Brother platform.

Bald is the new head, hairy is the new face, hand sanitiser is the new face of fear, veganism is the new “tastes like chicken,” texting is the new talking and embracing a mix of negative and positive reviews is the new face of business authenticity.
If you’re a business owner or brand custodian, you’ve probably been raised on the idea that positive 5-star reviews are all your business needs. It’s not hard to imagine why.
