Two ways: 1. Develop some kind of self-help program with multiple “levels” that promises professional success and personal fulfillment (they will both stop mattering at some point).
2. Find out all there is to know about Buddhism and create your own offshoot. If you build it they will come. NYC guitar school is great btw.

You good. Rajneesh dude was over 50 I think. Anyway, interest peaked. How do you get cult members? Is that like a sales funnel thing?

The cult my relatives were in was started by a woman in her 40s. So once you age out of advertising you’re right in the lane.

Ad life will definitely aid in creating a cult life. As for age you’ll simply just be born again. You’ve even got a bucket of ad lingo to co-opt. Marketecture and Tissue Sessions fits right in with Compulsions Analysis/ The Process

ECD1 that’s the question. Ironic, I know. I spent a lifetime in marketing but am at a loss as I try to grow my following. So far it’s just a few lonely drifters and a guy I recently reconnected with after we were both not invited to our 30th. Probably need some help with social and SEO. Any volunteers?

Advertising is a cult.

Meh. Keep going.

Hey gang, thanks for all the great thinking here. It feels like we’re getting closer but def need some more ideas on the wall. I’m going to need you to stay late tonight and really crank so we can have productive Sunday.

Really appreciate it and I promise it will be worth it when you achieve enlightenment or whatever.

In the words of every CD I’ve ever had: Keep going!

You are now my mortal enemy

Also we need a name for this thing. Thoughts?

Sounds like you want to be "The Dude". Where can I sign over my life's savings?

I sublease an apartment from a friend who is currently in Jail unfortunately. I wasn’t in the lease and the apartment found out from my personal check which I paid for the rent.

They refused the rent and after the three day notification has passed they refused the cashier’s check here in Orange County.

The apartment has put him up for eviction and I feel bad about this cos it was cost savings. Is there anything I can do to save this?

Does anyone think it’s a good idea to beg for a job and put your personal life out there to get sympathy, because that is what I am seeing every day on LinkedIn and then the recruiters and everybody will comment and send the jobs and they will end up with a job or interview the next day.
I’m getting close to the point of doing that because it seems like it is working.
