Welcome
What if you could double how interesting people found you at parties...with one word?

What if you could you could attract more and better customers...by charging more?

What if you could triple the number of men or women who answer your call (or call you)...with
a single text message?

Welcome to the wonderful world of testing, where little changes to yourlife and business can
deliver massive rewards.

i’ve been obsessed with testing since i was in high school. my parents didn’t have the money
to send me to college, so it was up to me to find it. i built a system to test my way through
dozens of scholarships and interviews. i ended up paying my way through undergrad and grad
school at Stanford.

all from a few little tests.

in this guide,you’ll learn about some of my favorite little “life experiments” that i’ve done. i’ve
also invited a number of special guests to share some of their best tests.

enjoy,
