The Tale of Two Young Men-How the Wall Street Journal Made Guilt Look Classy
It starts like every college reunion story that ends in emotional damage.“On a beautiful late spring afternoon, twenty-five years ago, two young men graduated from the same college…”You can feel the foreshadowing.Two guys. Same cap, same gown, same parents crying in the bleachers.Fast-forward twenty-five years: one’s the boss, the other’s Googling “how to look productive on Zoom.”And according to the ad, the only difference?One subscribed to The Wall Street Journal.That’s it.Forget hard work, talent, or a friend in private equity — apparently the Journal had the secret sauce.Hard to believe, but if they printed it, it must be true.If you enjoy this kind of elegant self-reflection disguised as marketing insight — and want to use it to attract wealthier clients without losing your dignity — go to http://www.GetWealthyClients.com.You’ll find my books, programs, and an indecent amount of free material that’ll make your marketing feel like the first young man in the story — polished, confident, and moderately intimidating.

The Insult That Made a Marketer Out of Mac
Let me take you back to the golden age of mail-order marketing — when every kid in America wanted two things: a jetpack and not to get sand kicked in his face at the beach.Enter Charles Atlas.The man. The myth. The original “before and after” guy.Atlas was a bodybuilder turned marketer who managed to turn humiliation into one of the most profitable emotions in human history — and he did it with one ridiculous little cartoon.Picture this: It’s the 1960s. You’re eating sugary cereal, reading a Superman comic, and suddenly — bam — there’s a scrawny kid named Mac. He’s with his girlfriend at the beach. A muscle-bound gorilla of a man kicks sand in his face. The girlfriend says, “Oh Mac, you’re such a weakling.” And Mac just… takes it.Then the caption hits: “The Insult That Made a Man Out of Mac.”Every ten-year-old boy in America drops his spoon. “Wait a second,” he thinks, “that is me.”And right there — in seven cartoon panels — Charles Atlas discovered the secret to eternal direct-response glory: identify shame-build it into rage and offer a solution for the simple price of a stamp or click.But…you have to act now…By the way — if you love hearing about the wild, hilarious origins of marketing genius and you’d like to build your own client-attracting superpower (without the sand, the beach, or the tragic short-shorts) — head over to http://www.GetWealthyClients.com.You’ll find my best-selling books, my private vault of trainings, and a ridiculous amount of free stuff that’ll have your marketing flexing like Mac in panel six.Seriously — it’s like the Atlas course for your business, but with fewer push-ups and better fonts.
