Hey Reader, I have an ongoing problem. (I mean, besides my nightly ice cream habit and crepey neck skin.) It’s that “authentic” is probably the most overused word here in the online space, AKA The Space. Has been for all 16 years I’ve had my business. And, when it comes to personality, marketing, content, writing voice, etc — all the places we're drawn to the real deal and want even more to be it — there's no perfect substitute for the word. I do have a shorthand for achieving authenticity in your writing and business. I call it “getting paid to be you.” That’s what my 8-month live mentoring party (AKA mastermind), Shrimp Club, is all about. Through both the words you use and the choices you make, I help you get paid (ideally, paid a shit ton) to be Reader. As in, your true, authentic self — until someone comes up with a better word. It’s now (pre-) open for a flash, with a special, first-time-ever offer that may or may not ever happen again. 👇 Join this week and you’ll get a free ticket to the first-ever Talking Shrimp writing workshop in NYC. The writing workshop will take place the two days before our annual Shrimp Club retreat. The schedule: MARCH 22-24TH IN NYC SUN/MON: Writing Workshop If you get in on this, you’re in for the most creatively invigorating three days of your life. Not to mention 8 transformative* months — starting in October. I’m taking 8 (eight, ocho, otto, huit) Shrimpers for this special offer, so let’s go! See Shrimp Club details and apply here. If you’re feeling called to join Shrimp Club, there couldn’t be a better time. And I’d love to have you in our group. xoLaura PS - *”transformative” — another overused one, but accurate to Shrimp Club. Witness the last quote in the PPS below. PPS - Some recent words from Shrimp Club members: “Thank you for making me a writer.” “I loved the hot seats. You really dialed in my writing. I was meeting with a mastermind of mine today and they were like, We love your writing, we love your stories, we love opening your emails. That’s really valuable.” “You empower us to use our authentic voice and be our authentic selves.” “I've really internalized this idea of getting ‘paid to be you’ and leaning into your YOU-ness.” “The connections I’ve made were worth the investment on their own.” “I joined expecting this magic juju to rub off on me…and I know it sounds crazy, but it did.” “Never have I felt so changed.” 👆Want to be the one saying these things?

Hey Reader, Those Atomicon attendees are action takers. They’re already sharing results from the tips I gave in my (ahem) opening keynote. How cool is that? They’re grateful, and I’m grateful. Grateful that I made it there at all. There was a moment a few days before, in the back of an Uber, when I thought I might not. See, I don't like travel stress. When I'm traveling, especially for work, I will pay what it takes to make things easy. That means shelling out for an Uber when any sensible...
It’s official, Reader: I’m now big in the UK. Hello from a city called Newcastle, where I was the opening keynote speaker at Atomicon yesterday. I’m pleasantly foggy, recovering from a mix of jetlag, missed meals, hardcore peopling, pre-speaking stress, post-speaking euphoria, and a desperate Uber Eats dinner after midnight (when everything was closed) from a place called “Pizza Daddy.” Before a Shrimper named Jeanet came to see me at a book event and said she’d be recommending me to speak at...
Hey Reader, I wrote this on Friday, the day before leaving for the UK. Assuming all went well and my flight out of Newark (😬) wasn’t canceled or otherwise botched — say, by an air traffic controller operating all on his own who also happens to be a chimpanzee — I’m now settled in Newcastle on Tyne, getting over jetlag and chilling at the Hilton before I speak tomorrow at Atomicon. It’s also likely that I’m still basking in the afterglow of Thursday’s Make Your Point: The Story-to-Sale...
