Shoemoney’s not too bad really, he’s an inspiration for me - just by looking at his famous Google cheque.

I have been reading (and listening; great stuff!) around the Affiliate Summit. Are there more people from Europe? Who could you recommend going there, or are only (real) big players at that Summit?

The costs are not the biggest issue, but wondering if smaller teams also good take advantage of this Summit.

Very eloquent point made by Pranav in response to your Jason’s keynote. Simple, elegant and makes total sense .. or should that be cents?

Agreed Pranav! And in defence of Jeremy Shoemoney - he is has done a heck of a lot for the industry, and has helped many people achieve their “Nirvana”!

He should be given a medal, not be called pathetic!

Now that’s one absolutely fantastic blog post about the calacanis keynote. Six figure checks are not pathetic if it’s six figure checks that make you happy!

A Buddha (or replace with saint, yogi, whatever) once said to a new disciple seeking enlightenment - “Why do you want enlightenment? you may not like it!”. Some people realize that and don’t go for their respective nirvanas, and that’s as cool as buddhahood. To be happy is nirvana. For some (myself included ) happyness may mean success at work (lots of money, lots of work, lots of ideas, trying to change the world, etc) for some others, happyness is much simpler (spending time with family and friends, enjoying a good meal, etc).

Happyness - no matter how complex or simple, isn’t pathetic.
