On Friday, one of our readers contacted me. I got this: "You're killing me with the Jim Camp [emails]! I don't even know who he is. I like the history and the politics stuff."

Fair enough. But if you want to know more about the man and his methods, my Jim Camp Resource Page is a good start. I even made my own YouTube short and put it on that page.

Meanwhile, consider reading my emails a negotiation. The late Jim Camp was once known as the World's Most Feared Negotiator. He implemented his system in hundreds of organizations and for hundreds of thousands of people.

The FBI negotiations with hostage-takers? Thank Jim Camp for streamlining and clarifying the Bureau's approach.

Keep in mind, everything in life is really a negotiation.

Camp would say, quoting the Oxford English Dictionary if I recall, that "every negotiation is an agreement between two or more parties having the right to veto—the right to say 'no.'"

In other words, don't read if you don't want to. Unsubscribe if you have to. Tell me, "no," if you need to.

Just know that I will be here in the inbox and occasionally on the Substack blogs with those familiar topics of history, politics, sports, and more. Plus, I can’t expect folks to read every email. I know how it works.

For crying out loud, I have an email box myself and I know how hard it is to get through all my email every day. In the words of the 42nd President of the United States, "I feel your pain."

Except, I am serious and that man was not. Nevertheless, I do hear the call of my readers. Believe me.

More of this, less of that. People write or call me with suggestions—demands even.

But, fair warning… the sweet deal on the Jim Camp Master Negotiator Interview Series ends next Saturday, a week from today.

I may scatter a little bit more red meat in there for our "carnivorous" readers.

I will be sending a few more emails over the next several days as a reminder to get this Jim Camp training (one that I bought at a higher price myself a few years back and use now on a daily basis).

Check out the program here…

As always,

Brian
