What a man with a Mission looks like
Published: Thu, 03/08/18
Something you sweat over during the day.
Go to sleep thinking about at night.
And, wake up not being able to wait to get to in the morning.
Anyway, one example of a man with a Mission is Orrin “Checkmate” Hudson.
I first learned about him through Dr. Glenn Livingston.
Orrin is a former small time crook, gang member, state trooper, Air Force veteran, and world renowned chess champion. He also founded an organization (his Mission in life) that is all about helping kids in underserved communities (where sometimes violence, drug abuse, broken families, and grinding despair for these kids are the rule, not the exception) build their self respect, sense of responsibility, goal-setting skills, problem-solving skills, and analytical thinking (just browse social media and you can see we can use a lot more of that these days…) using the game of chess amongst other things.
He’s been probably on every single major news outlet on the planet.
And, he speaks throughout the U.S. at events and schools to kids, parents, teachers, corporate management and staff about his Mission and helping kids.
Anyway, I want to do my part to spread the word about what he does.
And, so, here’s the deal:
From today through Sunday (March 11th) at 11:59 PM (EST), I will give anyone who donates a minimum of $20 to his organization and sends me their receipt by that deadline (not after -- send your paypal receipt to me after the deadline and you get nothing) the following:
(1) A matching donation of your amount
(i.e. whatever you donate I will also donate the exact same to the Cause)
(2) Digital access to the Lost elBenbo’s Apprentice Tapes:
These are interviews my podcast Producer did with 9 of my old school marketing “heroes” (with questions I carefully selected based on their unique specializations that have helped me the most, that I have always wanted my customers to know).
The people include:
* A-list copywriter David Deutsch
* The World’s Greatest Copywriting Coach David Garfinkel
* Agora Financial’s Joe Schriefer
* A-list direct response designer Lori Haller
* For-real “Mad Man” advertising genius Walter Bregman (who worked in the agency business back in the Mad Man days)
* World-class copywriter Brian Keith Voiles
* The “founding father” of Internet marketing as we know it Ken McCarthy
* MLM direct marketing pioneer Tom “Big Al” Schreiter
* And the great Brian Kurtz
I originally had these interviews created for a membership site (called “elBenbo’s Apprentice). But, I decided to shut that down immediately after it launched, realizing how much I despise having a membership site.
Anyway, these “lost” interviews haven’t been seen by all that many people.
In fact, most recently, you would have had to pony up $2k to buy Brian Kurtz’s Titans Of Direct Response product to access them. (It was a bonus I gave to customers who bought via my affiliate link last October). But, I will give you access to them if you donate a minimum of $20 to Orrin’s Checkmate organization and send me your receipt by the Sunday, March 11th 11:59 pm (EST) deadline.
You can read more about Orrin and donate to his organization here:

Simply forward your paypal receipt to ben@bensettle.com
(By 11:59 PM EST Sunday, March 11th -- not after, or you get nothing.)
That way I can see the amount to match it.
And, also, send you the Lost elBenbo’s Apprentice Tapes.

P.S. If you donate $100 or more by the deadline (again, if you send me your paypal receipt *by* the deadline, not after), I’ll also send you some more goodies (via snail mail, so make sure you send me your snail mail address along with your receipt) worth well over $100 in retail value.
