I like meeting smart people, as well. Email (iamalexbirkett (at) gmail (dot) com) if you want me to help you with business growth or if you wanna get a coffee. To increase the odds I’ll respond to a cold email, I pretty much can’t ignore emails that include the following topics:

  • Wisconsin Badgers sports.
  • Any interest in hiring me or my agency for organic growth services.
  • World travel (especially weird or interesting spots) and remote work
  • Decision theory or practical applications of probability to optimize business or life decisions.
  • 1990s punk rock music or gangsta rap.
  • Underrated restaurants, coffee shops, or bars in a given city.
