😱 ANDY REACTS

The "Blind Side" BOMBSHELL.

STOP THE PRESSES!

Michael Oher drops a WHOPPER.

That heartwarming movie, The Blind Side?

MAYBE NOT SO WARM.

HERE'S THE SCOOP:

That white couple who saved him?

Yeah, the Tuohys.

Turns out...

They might not have adopted him.

And... there's MONEY involved.

A LOT of it.

DETAILS, PLEASE:

Oher's BIG claim?

The Tuohys tricked him.

Those conservatorship papers?

Not an adoption deal.

More like, "Let's do business in your name."

And that movie?

Grossed over $300 million.

Oher’s cut?

ZIP. ZILCH. ZERO.

While the Tuohys?

Big pay day!

$225,000 each, plus a juicy slice of the net proceeds.

BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE:

A sneaky contract.

Rights to Oher’s life story?

Handed to 20th Century Fox.

And the agent behind it?

Cozy with the Tuohys.

Sean Tuohy breaks his silence.

Claims? All about family love.

And Oher’s share?

Same as everyone else, he says.

Michael Oher?

He’s OVER that movie.

Feels it dented his football rep.

Shared his pain in a new book.

And guess what?

It just hit the shelves.

GRAB YOUR COPY!

The saga continues... 🍿🍿🍿

💀 Issue #100-and-something 💀

The Ultimate B2B Showdown: Who Will Wear the Sales Crown?

The B2B arena is BUZZING.

It's a race, a battle, a SHOWDOWN!

Outreach, Salesloft, Clari, Gong, Apollo...

And... Oops, I'm sure I missed a few. LOL.

Who’s gonna stand tall at the end?

Well, here's my bet:

It's gonna boil down to TWO titans:

1. DISTRIBUTION.

Who's the master of catching the wandering eye of the sales & marketing juggernaut?

It’s a world of attention-grabbing.

Why? Because, my friend...

Attention is the new OIL. Liquid gold!

2. BRAND.

Let’s face it...

Software? Becoming commoditized. (Yawn.)

The last warrior on the battlefield? BRAND.

Just look at Liquid Death.

Selling the world's most common thing... WATER.

And their weapon? BRAND.

So, gear up.

This is going to be a marathon, not a sprint.

A few years? Maybe.

But oh boy, I'm PUMPED to see who emerges with the glittering crown!

Stay tuned,

Andy
