That’s me, Nick Gray, up top. This is my Friends Newsletter. I send it to people I’ve met recently, my friends on LinkedIn, and friends I want to keep in touch with. Feel free to unsubscribe at the bottom and I won’t be offended.

Now Hiring: Sales Manager at Museum Hack

Do you know a great Sales Manager? Someone who loves cold calls, wants a leadership position at a great company, and maybe lives sorta near NYC? (Can be Philly, New Jersey, etc) I am a little stressed because this is such an important hire for us next year.

Museum Hack is looking for an ambitious seller with 3-5 years selling experience to be our Sales Manager. More info + Apply here

Best iPhone Lightning Cable for Travel

I travel a lot, and I’m always a little frustrated by my cable management.

Every night I have to plug in my phone to charge, and every morning I have to wrap up the cords in a neat and tidy fashion.

This $10 thing has made my life better. I’ve added it to my small backpack to include on every single trip.

VIDEO REVIEW: Facebook, YouTube

I like this retractable cable for $12 from Amazon

Landmark Forum: Is it a scam?

When a friend saw on my Snapchat that I was doing Landmark last weekend, he rolled his eyes. “Dude, really?” Another warned me about the MLM-aspect.

A lot of my friends either love, hate, or don't know about Landmark

Some friends congratulated me. “My wife and I love it!” Others shared their positive experience.

The Landmark Forum is a 3-day intensive self-development program that has been taught to millions of people in the past 20 years. They don’t advertise, but they do push hard for referrals.

I attended last weekend and took a ton of notes. Check them out here.
