A Major League pitcher writes that the only thing he does not pitch is people. Jason Grilli builds a whole post on that joke, and a real position sits underneath it. He shares what he does and lets it stand rather than working a room, because he does not believe pressure earns anybody credit.
The most affecting post has nothing to do with any of that. He writes about a television documentary following two brothers with a rare genetic illness who are slowly regressing into childhood while their elderly parents watch, and he does not tidy it into a lesson.
Elsewhere the blog is practical. What pay per click actually is. Two tool reviews, one for keyword research and one for email. A collection of quotes from a teacher he clearly loved.
There is a post on how a professional athlete spends a Saturday in the off season, which is quietly interesting.
Read the sales pitch post if the selling part is what has kept you out of this.
