Yet another chick has left me.<\/p>\n
And, she did it with nothing but an email.<\/p>\n
(Note even a phone call…? Really?)<\/p>\n
Want to see the “break up” (i.e. unsubscribe-from-my-list)\u00a0email?<\/p>\n
OK, a website reader\/subscriber says when unsubscribing:<\/p>\n
“For quite a while now you’ve been sending out emails about how whiney, stupid and irritating some women can be. At first it was funny. But now, several weeks down the line, it’s starting to become offensive. And your new video called “the female rationalisation hamster” is just about the last straw.”<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
I think I feel a tear coming on.<\/p>\n
Oh, wait.<\/p>\n
Never mind.<\/p>\n
Just a speck of dust…<\/p>\n
Amusingly, I got this email while hanging out with a chick that day. Of course, I read this email to her and (of course) we both laughed at it.<\/p>\n
Why?<\/p>\n
Because, there wasn’t a single fact in it.<\/p>\n
I have never said women “can be whiney, stupid, and irritating.” (Even if the writer of the above comment is behaving that way… but what was that about hamsters again…?) Plus, my podcast was not a “video” it was audio.<\/p>\n
But hey, ye females worry not!<\/p>\n
I don’t judge ALL women based on the chick above.<\/p>\n
In fact, another of your people hath “redeemed” you.<\/p>\n
Reader Naomi Novella comments:<\/p>\n
“Great show! I really like your laid back style. You definitely have great radio presence. It’s refreshing to listen to a conversation while gleaning some biz advice. Looking forward to more shows. P.S. Next time drink the vino Ben and enjoy…salute!”<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Word up, Ms. Novella.<\/p>\n
I will do just that later today when I record the second episode. Probably\u00a0while enjoying a glass (or two…) of wine from my favorite winery on the face of the earth:<\/p>\n
“Altipiano”<\/p>\n
They’re in Escondido, California.<\/p>\n
(San Diego area.)<\/p>\n
And, I HIGHLY recommend going wine tasting there.<\/p>\n
(And buying a case.)<\/p>\n
Also, let ’em know Ben Settle sent ya.<\/p>\n
I don’t get any kick backs or anything (this isn’t Chicago), but they like to know who’s sending them bid’niz, and I’m an unrepentant Alipiano fanboy.<\/p>\n
Okay, that’s all for toda–<\/p>\n
Wait… what?<\/p>\n
You missed my podcast debut??<\/p>\n
Here ’tis:<\/p>\n
