In the garden, dig a $100 hole for a $10 plant.
Gardening is a great metaphor for marketing.

Listening to my morning Celtics podcast when host John Karalis uses the example of leaving a party as a metaphor:
You know when you’re getting ready to leave a party and you start looking at your watch and you’re like “ok, I’m going to start looking for the opening here”. And unless somebody comes along and hits you with a great story, unless somebody comes along and hooks you to stick around…you’re going…
That’s everyone on the internet scrolling and clicking.
They’re constantly leaving the piece of content in front of them until it hooks them.
You have to hit them with the great story.

Meta is growing its smart glasses lineup 🕶️
Another name brand partnership, this time geared towards a different consumer. Clearly there is revenue here.
Like the existing Meta Ray-Ban glasses, the Oakley model features a front-facing camera, along with open-ear speakers and microphones that are built into the frame. After they are paired with a phone, the glasses can be used to listen to music or podcasts, conduct phone calls, or chat with Meta AI. By utilizing the onboard camera and microphones, Meta AI can also answer questions about what someone is seeing and even translate languages.

Maybe that means that you should be including all of your post links in the first comment, and an image in the main post, which is what many high-performing publishers on Facebook are currently doing.
