Work Less Wednesday: February 18

👋 Hey Reader!

This is issue #190 of Work Less Wednesday, where I share with you 5 things you should know about, in 5 minutes or less. That leaves you with 10,075 other minutes this week.

📬 1. Substack Hacked! Update & Special Offer - Watch The 8-Minute Video​

If you missed the news, last week my Substack got hacked.

Here’s what happened:

On Thursday evening, I got an email stating that my Substack account email was changed.

I was locked out of the account.

But it gets worse…

In under two hours, the hacker entered my account and:

• 🗑️ Deleted all 8,000 of my email subscribers.
• 📬 Replaced the list with a spam list.
• 💸 Refunded nearly $5,600 of paid subscriptions.

Substack has informed me that there is nothing they can do to fix the refunds and that I’m on my own to solve it.

So we’re going to do something fun!

📘 2. Book I’m Checking Out This Week - The Laws of Simplicity by John Maeda​

Last week I discovered The Laws of Simplicity by John Maeda.

It is a short 100-page book that came out around the time that the Apple iPod took off.

It is, like its title, simple.

The book is about the balance between simplicity and complexity in design, technology, and business.

It still stands up even though it was published nearly 20 years ago.

I’ve been drinking this lemon anti-inflammatory drink (courtesy of Andra Sitoianu) for the last week and I’m not looking back.

The craziest part about it is...

You drink a whole lemon, peel and all.

Benefits include:

😌 Supporting thyroid and adrenal health.

🌿 Promoting detoxification of the liver, lymphatic system, and bowels.

⚡ Boosting metabolism.

💧 Reducing puffiness and bloat.

Here’s the recipe:

Make sure to buy organic lemons and actually clean them before you blend lol.

You can see a video on X or read a more in-depth article on Substack.

🤖 4. Watch My Buddy Jon Build A $450k Marketing Campaign With AI - YouTube Video​

​

Ignore the clickbait thumbnail lol 🙄

Cool behind-the-scenes sneak preview of how my buddy Jon Courtney, CEO of AJ&Smart, is using Claude Code in his biz.

A lot of fun behind-the-scenes tidbits, including his “promoter blueprint” software, his marketing expert Claude workflow, and how he built a $450k webinar campaign with AI.
