Without ever outright saying it, Sam Faddis insinuated time and time again that I would get exhausted by politics and the revolving door of journalism.

At 23, I didn’t like admitting when someone was right.

I was at the Washington Times for two months and I was already getting frustrated with what I was seeing on our headlines and outside our office doors in Washington D.C.. Corrupt politicians, international terrorist plots, growing tensions in Eastern Europe, an emboldened China, all the things that patriots look at and think “is anyone going to do anything serious about all this?”

I was already a 2nd LT in the Army National Guard, that however wasn’t enough for me. In the middle of the night after work, I logged onto my laptop and attempted to apply for multiple job postings at the Central Intelligence Agency.

There was a problem though...

The job application portal, the same one that asked you to upload a PDF of your resume, and then wanted you to retype your entire resume into the form fill on the page, wouldn’t save. I tried again the next day, and the next day, and the next day, then it said my guest account credentials expired and I create the applicant portal again.

Yes, I thought I was stupid. Luckily, about a year later, I was having lunch with a friend of mine, and somewhere in the conversation I told him my embarrassing story about how I wanted to go work for the CIA, but I couldn’t get through the resume upload page on the job application portal.

“It kept saying there was an error on the page and making you retype everything, huh?” He said, as if he had been looking over my shoulder all those nights. Turned out he was applying and not telling anyone either, and he too was foiled by the job application portal.

I had never felt so justified...

I didn’t want to tell Sam. At that point I’d known him for about five years. He’d probably say something like “keep hitting refresh on the page.” I just moved on because a few months later the COVID-19 pandemic happened and that became my sole focus in the newsroom.

About three or four years prior to that, my then-girlfriend and now-wife took me to the Faddis’s house in Maryland. This was a regular thing we did when we’d come to stay with her family in Annapolis on long weekends while we were attending Liberty University.

One day, we had been at there house for probably six hours, so without asking they went ahead and ordered Indian food for delivery for dinner, it was as if they read my mind that I was starving, they didn’t even need to ask.

I knew enough about Sam at that point from what my wife had told me. His time in the CIA, the books he authored, the congressional campaign he had ran and lost during a lopsided primary. I also knew that Sam had a very fierce libertarian streak, a streak I myself wore on my shoulders during my extremely loud political activist days in college.

Sam agreed with me about how things should be, but where we disagreed was how to achieve the goals we had.

There isn’t a point in going into the hows and whys, that was more than a decade ago and they ultimately don’t matter. I was overly zealous and felt everyone not on my level was a sellout, I had a very black and white view of the world and saw the world through the lens of a person with very little lived experiences, like most people in their twenties.

We were eating dinner on their porch and he asked me a question about something going on in the Senate (as if I knew anything, I was a back and forth think tank intern who thought he knew everything) and why some senator voted the way they did. I must have given the most elongated, overly complicated and elaborate answer for like fifteen minutes. Looking back I was totally wrong but at that moment I felt like the most in-the-know D.C. insider ever schooling this old guy.

Sam didn’t argue or debate, that wasn’t really his style and he was probably being extra polite because I was still “Julianna’s boyfriend” and he didn’t want to school me to publicly. Sam had a way of taking down arguments in the least combative way possible.

“You overestimate how simple people actually are,” he said. That was all he had to say. I sat there kind of confused, and probably still continuing talking trying to justify all my points. He sat there looking at me kind of tired, like he had seen this before, heard all the BS before, and given the same answer a million times before.

He was right in the end, I’d have to learn the hard way over and over again that the reason certain people do things is sometimes as stupid simple as you’d think. There is no elaborate plot, just baseline tendencies.

Sam was many things. He was a man of flaws and he was a man of great talents and virtue. If Sam understood one thing solidly in the world, it was people, their motives, and what forces action out of them.

Sam wasn’t giving me his opinion of politicians, he was giving me what was probably one of the best pieces of life advice I’ve ever been given.

Sam and Gina invited me to write for their online publication AND Magazine from 2018-2019, and Sam was one of my references when I applied for work at the Washington Times.

Over the years, we had conversations on a multitude of topics big and small. When discussing the topics of politics and national security, the lesson of people’s motivations being simpler than we’d think was a recurring theme.

How often do we see someone do something heinous and try and come up with some elaborate story? How often do we try and set up plot points for when someone close to us betrays us like we’re scripting some Christopher Nolan movie?

No matter how old, affluent, or secure in life someone is— the motivation for why they choose to do the things they do, good or bad, is almost always the simple answer we knew all along but didn’t want to admit.

Money, sex, power, greed, everything falls back to a simple conclusion when the dust settles whether we want to accept it or not.

Last time I hung out with Sam was at his home in Pennsylvania in 2020. It wasn’t a great point in my life, I’m pretty sure I remember working from my laptop the entire weekend Julianna and I stayed at their house. Sam was working with activists to fight against the lockdowns and the actions enforced by the governor at the time, especially Josh Shapiro who was the Attorney General at the time.

On our last night before Julianna and I drove home, we rented the original ‘Ghostbusters’ film on Amazon and watched it after ordering Chinese takeout. I asked him what he thought about the 2016 Ghostbusters reboot.

“There’s only one Ghostbusters,” he said.

Sam was definitely right about that.

My late-friend and mentor, author and former federal agent Gary Collins, who died in 2022, I credit for showing me what the world could be like if you took more chances.

To Sam, I want to thank him for showing me what the world was like when you stopped viewing it the way you wanted too and accepted reality for what it truly is.

Ten years after that conversation at dinner on his deck, I see the world more like Sam Faddis did compared to how I did ten years younger. There is nothing wrong with saying you’re a different person than you were a decade ago. That’s not being a hypocrite, its called growth.

I’ll leave you with a quote from one of my favorite spy novelists, Anthony Horowitz; “You cannot defeat your enemies until you know who they are.”

Thank you Sam, you taught me to talk less and listen more. The truth about most things is usually hiding in plain sight.

Today, I’m excited to officially introduce Primevia™ Hydrogen Water Tablets.

Like many people, I’ve spent years trying different wellness products that promised more energy, better recovery, improved focus, and countless other benefits. What I found was that most of them added complexity instead of solving a real problem.

Primevia started with a simple question:

What if improving your daily hydration was as easy as dropping a tablet into a glass of water?

Primevia Hydrogen Water Tablets are designed to generate molecular hydrogen in water, creating a convenient addition to your daily wellness routine. Each tablet dissolves in just a few minutes and transforms ordinary water into a hydrogen-infused beverage that fits seamlessly into your day.

A few things we focused on when developing Primevia:

• Up to 12 PPM molecular hydrogen output

• Fast-dissolving formula (2-3 minutes)

• Clean, straightforward ingredients

• Vegan, gluten-free, and keto-friendly

• Manufactured in a GMP-certified facility

Whether you’re working long hours, training in the gym, traveling, or simply trying to build healthier habits, Primevia was designed to make hydration easier and more intentional.

This launch is just the beginning. I’m incredibly grateful to everyone who has supported me and followed my various business ventures over the years. Your encouragement helped make this possible.

If you’d like to be among the first to try Primevia, you can order today on Amazon.

Thank you for being part of this journey.

SEO used to be about ranking on Google.

Now? Your content also has to survive AI summaries, ChatGPT answers, Perplexity, Gemini, and the new wave of search behavior changing the internet in real time.

In this episode, I break down the real difference between SEO (Search Engine Optimization) and GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) — and why most businesses are still optimizing for a version of the internet that’s disappearing.

I cover:

• Why Google rankings alone are no longer enough
  

• How AI tools choose which brands, websites, and experts to reference
  

• The biggest mistake businesses are making with content right now
  

• Why authority, structure, and trust matter more than keyword stuffing
  

• How smart marketers are adapting before everyone else catches up
  

This isn’t another “AI is changing everything” panic video.
This is about understanding where attention is moving — and how businesses can position themselves before they get left behind.

If your marketing strategy still looks like it’s 2019, this conversation matters.

Most companies launch products with a press release...

Zoox launched by turning Las Vegas itself into the marketing campaign.

In this week’s video, I ride inside a Zoox autonomous vehicle to break down the five smartest marketing moves the company made by bringing its robotaxis to Las Vegas and what every business owner should learn from it.

Because this wasn’t just a tech rollout...

...Zoox understood something most brands completely miss:

Attention is environmental.

Las Vegas is one of the only cities in America where tourism, spectacle, entertainment, technology, and curiosity all collide at scale.

Zoox didn’t just place cars on the road here. They inserted themselves into the future identity of Vegas itself.

Inside the episode, we break down:

• Why Las Vegas was the perfect launch city

• How Zoox turned tourists into unpaid marketers

• Why visibility matters more than polished PR

• The real power of experiential marketing

• What brands can learn from Zoox’s rollout strategy

If you’re interested in marketing, branding, Las Vegas business, tourism strategy, or how modern companies manufacture attention, this episode is for you.

Watch the full video now, and if you do you’ll also learn how I rode Zoox for free and how you can too!

Sometimes it is.

But increasingly, the problem is invisibility.

We just completed a 2026 audit of 99 small businesses in Boulder City, Nevada — a historic tourism town sitting between Las Vegas, Hoover Dam, and Lake Mead. Millions of visitors pass through the region every year.

And yet nearly half of the businesses we audited either had no website, incomplete websites, broken functionality, or relied entirely on social media pages instead of owned digital infrastructure.

That’s not just a Boulder City problem.

That’s small-town America.

It’s the Midwest diner with no searchable menu.

The local hardware store with a broken website from 2017.

The family-owned restaurant still depending entirely on Facebook.

The tourism town hoping foot traffic alone will save it while the modern customer searches Google, Apple Maps, ChatGPT, Gemini, or Perplexity before ever stepping through the door.

The internet changed local commerce.

AI-powered discovery is changing it again.

And a shocking number of businesses are still operating like none of this happened.

The Boulder City Small Business Website Report isn’t really about websites.

It’s about whether local businesses are prepared to survive in an economy increasingly controlled by digital visibility, search infrastructure, reviews, discoverability, and machine-generated recommendations.

In other words:
If your business can’t be understood by Google, it probably won’t be understood by the current or next generation of customers either.

This report is free until next Tuesday, and the promo code has already been applied in the link below.

If you own a business, work in economic development, tourism, local government, or marketing, I think this report will give you a very uncomfortable — but necessary — snapshot of where many American towns actually stand right now.

Most businesses don’t struggle with marketing because they lack tools. They struggle because nobody ever explained how marketing actually works.

In this episode, I break down the 10 most Googled marketing questions on the internet — without the corporate buzzwords, fake guru energy, or recycled LinkedIn advice.

This isn’t “Marketing 101”...

This is the stuff business owners wish someone explained earlier — before wasting money on random tactics, vanity metrics, and agencies that confuse activity with results.

If you’re trying to grow a business, build attention, or stop guessing with your marketing strategy, this episode is for you.

Las Vegas is built on stories.

Mobsters. Gambling legends. Neon lights. Ghosts.

In this episode, I head inside the historic Hotel Apache at Binion’s in downtown Las Vegas — one of the oldest and supposedly most haunted hotels in the city — to explore both its paranormal reputation and the surprisingly brilliant marketing strategy behind it.

But this isn’t just another ghost hunting video.

This episode breaks down how Hotel Apache transformed its haunted identity into a powerful boutique brand experience that attracts tourists, influencers, paranormal investigators, and curious Vegas visitors from around the world.

We dive into:
• The haunted history of Hotel Apache
• Why guests continue reporting paranormal encounters
• How Binion’s revived the property in 2019
• Why boutique hotels can outperform larger competitors through identity and storytelling
• The business lessons companies can learn from paranormal tourism marketing
• How experiences create stronger brands than generic transactions

As someone who previously appeared on the paranormal docuseries “The Witching Hour,” this episode also explores why people are emotionally drawn to haunted locations and immersive storytelling experiences.

In a city constantly chasing the next big thing, Hotel Apache proves there’s still power in history, atmosphere, and mystery.

Sat down with a recent college grad who is trying to find his way in the world as he tries to break into a competitive industry.

In many ways, he reminded me a lot of myself when I started my career as a marketer.

The funny thing when I look back? I didn’t even know this was the field I wanted to get into.

If you’re a young professional getting into marketing (or just starting a career in general)...

Or you’re mid-career and trying to get into something completely different...

Watch this.

It sounds like an episode of “The Simpsons” but believe it or not, before moving to Nevada, I was a co-owner of a Milwaukee-based Brewery called MobCraft Beer...

...and let me tell you, I LOVED every minute of it for the 2 years I was involved before we sadly had to close our doors in 2024.

(Yes, someone bought the IP in 2025 and launched a new “MobCraft” in the same location as the original, but I have nothing to do with that one, FYI for any Wisconsinites reading this)

My wife and I had many, many wonderful memories, and that experience is what eventually gave me the entrepreneurial push to start Marketer on the Run.

So here is a vlog I did over the weekend explaining to you the five key nuggets of wisdom I learned when I was part of one of Milwaukee’s favorite craft breweries...

ENJOY!

We need to sit down and have a conversation about something far too people want to talk about in our workplaces and in our personal lives. Does AI and all these tools like ChatGPT just make you feel dull? If the answer is "yes", I feel the same way.

AI is everywhere — but most businesses are using it completely wrong. In this video, I break down how to actually use AI in your marketing without losing the one thing that makes your brand worth paying attention to: authenticity.

Here’s what we cover:

Why ignoring AI will put you behind your competitors

The biggest mistakes businesses make when relying on AI

Where AI works best (and where it absolutely fails)

Why AI-generated content is killing brand authenticity

How smart businesses combine AI tools with real strategy

AI is a powerful productivity tool — think of it as a really smart intern. But strategy, messaging, and brand voice? That still requires a real human expert.

While the war with Iran is driving up gas, airfare, and everyday costs across the country, Las Vegas might quietly be one of the few cities that comes out ahead.

In this video, I break down how “war inflation” is crushing most of the economy while opening up surprising opportunities for Vegas businesses.

We’ll cover:

• How gas prices and airfare are hammering both drive-in and fly-in visitors
• Why locals are tightening their belts and what that means for tips, tables, and ticket sales
• How Dubai’s 50% luxury sales decline could push high-end travelers toward Vegas instead
• Which sectors are getting wrecked (airlines, rideshare, restaurants) vs. which can still win (casinos, conventions, luxury)
• Practical, segment-specific strategies Vegas businesses can deploy right now
If you’re a business owner, marketer, or operator in Las Vegas, this isn’t just theory—these are moves you can put into play immediately.

A while ago many of you were informed I started an marketing agency.

While you were all supportive, you came to this newsletter because you wanted my take on news and politics, you didn’t come to here my pitches.

So here is the deal: If you never want to hear about my agency or marketing stuff ever again, you won’t hear it here.

IF YOU DO want to hear about how to work with me and obtain new knowledge to help you brand, business, or nonprofit, PLEASE sign up here.

Thanks again,

Remso

From the Daily Caller:

Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem turned the tables on corporate media in an exchange with NBC’s Kristen Welker Sunday, slamming outlets for wrongly perpetuating a “fear” of deportation among legal immigrants.

Since his inauguration, President Donald Trump has followed through on his campaign vow to shut down the southern border and lead a mass deportation of criminal illegal migrants amid a deadly fentanyl surge, signing a slew of executive orders addressing the issue on day one. On “Meet the Press,” Welker asked the DHS secretary if legal migrants should be worried about potentially being “wrongfully detained,” stating she had talked to some people who have “expressed concerns” and are carrying their documents with them.

If there's one thing I've learned in life, it's that hypocrisy in politics is as common as junk mail. Let's talk about the elephant in the room: TikTok.

Suddenly, U.S. lawmakers and conservative figures are tripping over themselves to defend this Chinese-owned app.

But why the sudden change of heart?

Back in 2021, when Parler, an American-based platform, was being kicked to the curb by Amazon, Apple, and Google, where were these defenders? Crickets.

For many of you, you probably joined this email list because you first encountered me on Parler, where I had worked in 2020. I’ve often called this Substack a home for the “Parler refugees” who supported me and stuck by me, but I digress.

Parler was deplatformed because it didn't align with the woke agenda these tech giants love to push, but there was little to no outcry from the political right. No one stood up to defend free speech then because in 2021, that would have been a career death sentence.

Send me death threats, nudes (10’s only), and criticisms on X at @heyremso.

Now, fast forward to today, and we see TikTok under the microscope. The same lawmakers who sat idly by during the Parler debacle “because of free markets” are now up in arms about government intervention with TikTok.

Why? Because it's politically expedient to rail against China, especially when it's about data privacy and national security. But let's not kid ourselves - this isn't about protecting Americans; it's about political posturing.

If it was truly about free speech or protecting American companies, they would have fought for Parler with the same vigor. Instead, they've shown their true colors: they'll defend anything that gives them a shot at looking patriotic or tough on China, even if it means ignoring their principles when it's inconvenient.

So here's the lesson, folks: Consistency is key. If you're going to stand for something, stand for it all the time. Not just when it's popular or politically beneficial.

From the Daily Wire:

Before thousands of his supporters at the Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C., President-elect Donald Trump promised on Sunday to act quickly to “face every single crisis facing our country.”

Trump will be sworn into office at noon on Monday to begin his second term in a nation and a world facing numerous issues. Thousands of Trump’s supporters traveled to Washington, D.C., over the weekend to celebrate the swearing-in of the 47th president, and despite the inauguration ceremony being moved indoors over harsh weather conditions in the nation’s capital, many Americans stayed to attend Trump’s Victory Rally and hear the incoming president address the country.

Italian soccer club Lazio fires falconer for posting photos of his penis implant

ROME (AP) — Lazio has fired the man who handled the Italian soccer club’s eagle mascot after he posted photos and videos online of his own prosthetic penis.

Falconer Juan Bernabé shared the images on his private social media accounts after undergoing surgery for a penile implant, which he said was for non-medical reasons.

Bernabé also gave an interview to controversial Italian radio show La Zanzara on Monday and elaborated on his reasons for undergoing the procedure.

Bernabé added that he felt “very proud” and “more masculine” being part of Lazio. The Serie A club clearly did not feel the same as it fired the Spaniard shortly afterward.

“Shocked to see the photographic images and video of Mr. Juan Bernabè and to read the statements that accompanied them, Lazio announces that it has stopped, with immediate effect, all relationship with this person, given the seriousness of his behavior,” the capital club said in a statement.

'Shazam!' star Zachary Levi compares AI to biblical disaster

"Shazam!" star Zachary Levi feels a biblical disaster looming, thanks to artificial intelligence.

On the "The George Janko Show" podcast, Levi compared AI to the great flood from the book of Genesis, saying, "I don’t think the flood is water. Honestly, I think the flood is AI."

He continued, "We can talk all day long and wax philosophical about how do we save the industry from itself in the way that it treats people, or it doesn’t make great content or whatever. Guys, honestly like, t-minus two years from now, good luck finding any job, because the studios will have a technology … it’s already basically here."

From the Washington Examiner:

Corporations that had pledged to suspend political action committee donations in the wake of the Jan. 6 insurrection are rushing to help fund President-elect Donald Trump’s second inauguration.

After Trump supporters stormed the Capitol in 2021 in an attempt to reverse the results of the presidential election, many companies paused donations and political contributions to organizations associated with Trump or any lawmaker who voted against certifying the results of the election.

However, that outlook has now changed as business leaders work to rebuild relationships with the incoming president who is expected to have a major affect on their company’s outlook in the future.

According to reporting from the Wall Street Journal, Ford, Toyota, Intuit, and Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America are each giving $1 million.

New York’s Historic Hudson River State Hospital Has Been Decimated By Fires

The campus of the Hudson River State Hospital (HRSH) in Poughkeepsie, New York, has been earmarked for redevelopment since it was bought by the Hudson Heritage Company in 2005. By that time, most of the beautiful High Victorian Gothic buildings had fallen into disrepair and many were left vacant due to safety concerns. Preservationists were sated by plans to rehabilitate as much as possible of the original architecture in the controversial Hudson Heritage project.

Several fires took place at the Hudson River State Hospital

Throughout its history, the hospital has been plagued by a series of fires. An article in the Poughkeepsie Evening Star of February 17, 1937, reported on the second fire in two years, stating that the fire in HRSH’s south wing “Endangered 950 Patients” because there weren’t enough fire escapes. Another fire made headlines in the 1960s, which required the affected wing to be built following the disaster.
