If you don’t own capital in a capitalist economy, you are the capital.

Things you can own:
- your own business
- equity in someone else’s
- shares in a public company
- IP: words, stories, characters
- real estate, land

What will you own?

It’s a good way to be thinking.

I suspect many-a-lurker wishes they'd taken it more seriously earlier now that the proverbial pewp has hit the fan economically. And, the concept is just as applicable — if not more, to anyone selling online — to owning and/or controlling as many media platforms as you can, too.

You're either the Media, or you're the Consumer.

Guess which one wins?

Something the May “Email Players” issue can help with.

The typical internet marketer or new product junkie mindlessly parroting the word "pivot!" on social media right now probably won't understand anything inside this issue especially.

But for everyone else?
