Paul isn't old!
From what I read on here, he had some health issues over the last couple of years that put him down for a bit. But he's recovering.
I was watching Dick Van Dyke on the Piers Morgan Show a couple of nights ago. He's 85 years old and they showed him doing some bad ass dance moves with his 4 piece group for President Obama.
He was bright eyed, sharp as a tack, and looked younger than I do. lol
Regis Philbin is up there too.
I just got tickets to see Paul McCartney here in Vegas on June 10th. He is 68 years old.
I saw Bob Dylan on a music awards show a couple of months ago. He is 70 years old.
Mick Jagger absolutely blew the roof off the grammys this year at 67 years old.
Age is just a number. It's the fire in the belly that counts.
And though Paul may not be right with all his marketing ideas...he does show a strong conviction to them. Which shows that despite all his protests and talk of being "retired", that deep down inside there is still a little fire left for the business.
And truthfully, if more sites used what Paul is preaching: better content...and I use the word "better" to mean giving the customer EXACTLY what they want to fulfill their particular fantasy...then all of our marketing would be much better served.
To me, Paul is talking about the FOUNDATION of the entire site. You know....what's actually in the site.
And the reason he is taking heat is because he just can't help but try to act like a jackass and ridicule people who are on the marketing end of it.
But that's the "fire" in the belly that Paul does still have.
So no, I don't think he's "old" or "weak". I think he has some strong beliefs built from what he's seen and done in his years of experience. And quite frankly, if he actually had enough fire in the belly and was hungry enough and built a paysite like the one he describes AND was able to have model interaction AND took steps to protect the content to the best of his ability...he would have a winner.
I know...because that's EXACTLY what I try to do. Whether I actually achieve my goal or not is subjective. But I do try to the very best of my admittedly superior skills. lol
