We talk about:
- How to wisely (and ethically) use “hype” to side-step lagging attention spans.

- What copywriters working on commission need to be aware of.
- When never to get involved in a joint venture — even if the person your JV’ing with is honest as the day is long and has no intention of screwing you over. (I wasted over a ever of my life with nothing to show for it that I can never get back not knowing this.)
