Silence, Solitude, Stillness: The Spiritual Disciplines We Need in a Noisy World

If you've got a business idea that you've been sitting on, this is the time of year to do something with it. We've used Shopify for the AOM store for years and what I love about it is how easy it is to get a business where you're selling stuff up and running quickly. You don't need to know how to build a website, Shopify's pre-built themes and AI site builder lets you launch a professional-looking store without ever touching a line of code. And once the store is live, you can sell everywhere people shop, online, in person, across social media, and even in AI chats. When customers show up, the checkout works.

Shopify checkout with Shop Pay converts up to 36% higher than the competition, meaning more customers actually buy. Shopify powers millions of businesses worldwide, from household names to small businesses just getting started. The reason to move now is Black Friday. Launch before it and you're open during the time of year when more people are already shopping and ready to buy instead of scrambling to build a store while everyone else is selling. If you're ready to launch your business before Black Friday, go to shopify.com slash manliness to start your free trial.

We're running around most afternoons and evenings, and some nights there's no time for a home cooked meal. But we don't want to eat fast food either, that's kind of gross all the time. That's where Factor comes in.
