GOOD MORNING, COULEE

Thanks for joining me this morning. In today’s newsletter…

🎶 Trempealeau Hotel is as good of a place as any to spend your Tuesday evening. And this week, they are hosting Organic Music Cooperative Acoustic Jam. My recommendation is to grab some bites while you’re there, too »

🐱 A kitten. A cute kitten. Don’t believe me? Check our Pets section. psst…her name is Mingming.

💪 A Thought to encourage you to try something new—and forgive yourself for whatever mistakes may follow.

🍞 There is a Sourdough Basics class happening at one of the North Side’s hidden gems. Go on, get doughin’ »

Got my whole crew. I’m feelin’ good. Let’s get to it. 👇

Thinking about running Facebook ads? Let's talk.

Most local business owners we meet know they should be advertising on Facebook. They just don't want to burn money guessing.

That's what we do. We handle it start to finish — the strategy, the creative, the copy, and the day-to-day adjustments. One local concrete contractor went from zero leads to more than 20 a month.

You can start with $5 a day. There's no contract, and new clients get a free website built and launched on us.

THOUGHT

❝

“A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new.”

Albert Einstein

THE GOOD WORD

📖 Insouciant (adjective) — in-SOO-see-unt
❤️ Carefree and lighthearted, without a worry weighing you down.
💡 Why it's good: There's something insouciant about a summer evening with no plans and nowhere to be.
