What Scrabble and I Have in Common
|
Hello Reader, It’s not my usual style to email you on the weekend, but since you opened this, it’s clear you were destined to learn something delightful today. Here’s your fun fact: Today is not only my birthday—it’s also National Scrabble Day! Yes, the iconic word game we all know and love has its own day, celebrated on April 13th, the birthday of Scrabble’s inventor, Alfred Mosher Butts. Yes, that’s really his name. I’ll pause while, like me, you giggle that his name is Butts. I am forever 12. Did you know every major game manufacturer initially rejected Scrabble? Talk about a late bloomer! It’s a household favorite today, with over 150 million sets sold worldwide and games available in 29 languages. Here are a few more tidbits to impress your word-loving friends:
So, whether you're celebrating by spelling out epic words on the board or simply devouring some birthday cake (in my honor, of course), remember this: Words, like birthdays, are worth savoring. And speaking of birthdays, I’ve decided to keep things simple this year—I’m only accepting cash. Think of it as investing in our next great conversation or maybe funding a future Scrabble championship! 😉 I kid, of course. You can Venmo me too. 😂 Got a favorite Scrabble story? Drop me a note—I’d love to hear it! Best, |

Hi Reader, A few months ago, Gina Abudi came to me with a clear mission: she wanted to launch a LinkedIn newsletter on change management, but there was one non-negotiable—“I don’t want this to be dry.” Gina knew that change management could easily turn into a corporate snooze-fest, and she was determined to do something different—something that felt approachable, engaging, and, most importantly, fun. We began working together through copy coaching, meeting bi-weekly to clarify her content and...
Hey Reader, Last week, I sent you a freebie to help clear out the digital dust bunnies on your website. Did you peek at it yet? I hope so—it’s quick, helpful, and shines a light on stuff you’ve probably been side-eyeing for a while. And if you did take a look, I’m guessing you landed somewhere on this spectrum: OH BOY. We need an overhaul. Hmm. I think a few things just need polishing. Here’s the truth: no matter where you fall, a refresh might be precisely what you need next. Not a whole new...
Hello Reader, and how are ya? It’s a glorious day in the neighborhood and today at Judi 411 Enterprises, we are celebrating my very own internet holiday: 411 Day! Like Jesus, I am everywhere, and like His Dad, I’m taking today as a day of rest. That means I’m off the grid for questions, but here’s your invitation: Be your own Google today. Dive into something new, learn a fact that surprises you, and then bring it back to see if you can stump me! That’s it! Show me what you got! If you manage...
