20 things you didn t know you wanted to know about me 1. I am that weirdo who prefers LinkedIn over Twitter. 2. I ve been a pioneer of self-isolation since way before the coronavirus. 3. I read almost every billboard on the street and every banner on the web. 4. Some people say that even when I speak it sounds as if I m writing it down. 5. I got my first 2000 connections on LinkedIn by abusing a bug in their mobile app . 6. I love automating things even if I eventually spend more time than doing them manually 7. Yes I do tend to use emojis a tad too much. Fun fact is the world s least used emoji. 8. I drive people mad by eating tons of junk food and never weighing more than 140 lbs at 6 0 . 9. I m currently having a 272-day streak on the Peak app my Peak Brain Score being 912. Challenge me 10. I m writing a bot that will let people post on Reddit even after they die. Codename Kharon s Post . 11. When I was 23 I kept seeing the number 23 everywhere. Also I m not easily influenced. Like at all. 12. I love writing children s poems with my six-year-old son. Some of them turn out unexpectedly gory. Sorry kids. 13. My son s name is Zoltan after heavy metal guitarist Zoltan Bathory. My son also hates metal. I m hoping it s just a phase. 14. I once bumped into Emir Kusturica and had him listen to my music before security caught up. This is a partially true story. 15. I once started recording a metalcore album that I promised to finish in 80 days. I didn t mention which planet s days these would be. Checkmate 16. I routinely read emails in Gmail s Promotions tab and write back to let their email marketers know how mediocre their copy is. They must hate me. 17. Sometimes I binge-buy domain names that I m pretty sure I will turn into super-successful businesses some day. Anyone up for buying bradning.com by the way 18. I can be OCD-ish about writing. For example the items in this list are arranged from the least to the highest character count. I even made a spreadsheet so that I can know for sure. 19. I am a master of making the most of procrastination. Case in point I spent 40 minutes writing this up while successfully putting off an especially drudging piece of content I have to write. 20. I kept you reading this stuff all the way through so chances are I will keep your potential customers reading yours. PM me if you want yourself some badass or good-ass copy for your blog landing page or email sequence. Or maybe a LinkedIn bio
