Watching a young chef on Saturday Kitchen talk about how his career and success is largely through coming up on social media and how important it is to manage and maintain it as part of the business model. How he put it - Socials is currency. So I already post incessantly because I can't help it or as I'm now saying - because it's part of my business model. So how do I monetise this? Please. Won't anyone pay me for my very great musings. In olden times I'd be in a toga and people would be making statues of me and calling me a great philosopher. But no, nowadays it's all 'what are you talking about' and 'you're clearly unwell' and 'Ben for the love of god will you get off your fucking phone'.

You could probably get a sitcom on ABC that would get canceled after four episodes. Christopher Meloni could play a fictionalized version of you.

@TheBreadmonkey In Mel Brooks’ “History of the World,” his character, Comicus, is a ‘stand-up philosopher’ lampooning the stand-up comic trend of the day. I think if they were remaking it today he’d be Instagramnon, the philosophy influencer.

@TheBreadmonkey At least you're not at "Sir, this is a Wendy's" stage yet.

@TheBreadmonkey see what you need to do is to run some ideas up the flagpole, grab all of the low hanging fruit, apply the modern modal language, proactively interact with your critical media, analyse your penetration of the demographic, and if that doesn't work on the first try, circle back.

If your stuck ping me a DM and I can post you some personal action points for interactive growth marketing deliverables :)

@Extelec

The incomparable Bob Mortimer as his business persona Train Guy. Here we see a closeup of a smiling older chap with a charming face and some stubble atop, as is below. He's sat on a train talking about kicking the goose upstairs into the business sky to see if it's feathers shake loose any success nuggets or something.

@TheBreadmonkey Nah, easy money - just rebadge some Irn-Brus and punt them to the energy-gel chumps at the Parkrun.

@Gogs

I've already started to get the smear campaign together to target them. It's not quite there yet, but involves me calling them 'energy *smells* morelike' and then looking smug.

@TheBreadmonkey Can’t see them recovering from that one. Not without some form of expensive stimulant.

@TheBreadmonkey You want to be a TV chef? Weird flex - doubt you’ll earn a million pounds that way.
