Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Bob Odenkirk really wanted to be a novelist. He was inspired by the legendary Jack Kerouac, having read all of his books, citing these as his ‘guiding light.’ “I’ve probably read On the Road three times or more,” explains Odenkirk. “Yeah, I was one of those kids at that age — in my first years of college and even just out of college.” But then he discovered that sketch comedy was, “something that I’d been doing since I was 11 years old, and I thought, wow, you already do this all the time. Why don’t you try to make it a career?” And so, he did. Now he’s coming off years of playing Saul Goodman, first as a supporting character in Breaking Bad , and then as the lead in Better Call Saul. His latest on-screen project is Lucky Hank , which is based on the novel Straight Man by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Richard Russo. In the series Odenkirk plays Hank Devereaux, a reluctant chairman of an English … [Read more...] about After His Own Health Scare, Bob Odenkirk Plays A Man Coming Back To Life In His Latest Series, ‘Lucky Hank’

How Goal Zero And Heart Of America Is Making Electricity Literally Accessible To The Navajo Nation
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Sometimes— most times—accessibility is about access in a disability context. Sometimes, however, accessibility (and assistive tech) is about literal access. The joint venture by Heart of America and Goal Zero to provide electricity (and thus internet access) to people of the Navajo Nation is a shining example of the latter. The work, a decade in the making, has entailed installing lights, power stations, and solar panels in homes of this Native American community. The technology is provided free of charge to homeowners, with Heart of America and GoalZero accounting for more than 275 installments over that ten-year span. The point of this humanitarian mission is simple: everyone needs electricity. Everyone needs light, heat, and in modern times, internet access.

Superhero Films Just Don’t Feel Essential Anymore
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Superhero movies seem to have lost their momentum at the box office, with the last two entries from Marvel and DC facing audience apathy; superhero movies seem to be slipping from their pop culture pedestal. Shazam 2 opened to a limp $30.5 million domestic, and Ant-Man: Quantumania never lived up to its $106 million opening weekend, sputtering toward a $462 million global total and unlikely to hit $500 million. This is disappointing, considering that Quantumania was a vital stepping stone to Marvel’s next big crossover event, introducing Kang (Jonathan Majors) the big bad of the MCU’s Phase 5. Technically, it is Kang’s second introduction, if you count his appearance on the Disney+ series Loki . Marvel Studios seems to be suffering from the same issues the comics did, releasing too much, too soon, resulting in a confused, fatigued audience. DC, on the other hand, has been inconsistent and messy for years; … [Read more...] about Superhero Films Just Don’t Feel Essential Anymore

Seven Tips For Bootstrapping A Digital Marketing Agency
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Xavier is a digital marketing expert with a passion for helping people achieve FIRE. He scaled his agency to $5m and sold it for 7 figures. Are you dreaming of starting your own digital marketing agency? Or are you a solopreneur looking to scale beyond your time and run a profitable agency? I started as a solopreneur building internet businesses while I was in college, some 13 years ago. When I started to earn passive income from the internet as a 22-year-old, I saw the potential and future of digital marketing. I began my foray into the world of digital marketing, not knowing much about the industry, running a business or my competitors. My business partner and I bootstrapped the agency, starting with nothing and doing everything (including cold calling) from my room. It was scrappy, unsexy and uninspiring. We had no money nor connections, but we dreamt that one day we would run an agency with a million dollars in … [Read more...] about Seven Tips For Bootstrapping A Digital Marketing Agency
