| Monday, July 9, 2018 MarketVolt’s Monday Mash-UpRecommended Resource A Simple, Powerful Tool for Creating Mockups I’ve been kicking the tires on MockFlow. So far, so good. It’s a great tool for creating mockups for websites, email templates and other marketing pieces. The free version is a great way to start. Paid versions remove usage limits and add features. The Birth of “Fight Song”A few weeks ago, I highlighted my favorite podcast, Cal Fussman’s “Big Questions.” In a recent episode, Cal interviewed Rachel Platten, the singer who wrote and recorded the mega-hit “Fight Song.” The story of her career and the creation of that song is great. Dedication. Perseverance. Passion. Love. Faith. After listening to it, I immediately shared the link with my children and my wife. Now I share it with you: Click here to hear Rachel Platten’s inspiring story. Resource for Music Lovers and Hunters Music Map Reveals Related Artists You Might Like If you like Rachel Platten, click here. That will take you to Music-Map.com, a site that reveals “related artists” in a simple, quick, visually-informative format. Enter the name of any musical artist and Music-Map will reveal similar artists whom you may want to discover. I’m Re-Watching The Greatest Tennis Match Ever? On this day 141 years ago, The All England Croquet and Lawn Tennis Club began its first tennis tournament at Wimbledon, outside of London. That bit of history prompted me to watch highlights from the Bjorn Borg vs. John McEnroe Wimbledon final in 1980. This was the greatest tennis match I ever watched. The great tennis players fascinate me. So much to learn and to emulate from their success. I’m not talking about McEnroe’s temper tantrums and juvenile fits. I’m talking about their training routines, on-court rituals and other practices. Next week, I’ll share a book that gets into this further. Wise Words from Bjorn Borg “If you’re afraid of losing, then you daren’t win.” *** Any reading, listening, quoting, resourcing that you think we should share? Send us a tip. Until next time, enjoy the rest of this week and the weekend. Tom |
