I once heard this great story from a comedian who said his career started falling apart when he realized that he was spending so much time managing and producing his act,

that he had less time doing what made his act great to begin with, which was analyzing everyday life and making jokes about it.

I see this so often in business. The more successful you become, the more your time is pulled away from the thing that made you successful to begin with. One of those things that can suck up valuable time is expense management,

and that is why I and 25,000 other businesses use Ramp. Ramp is a corporate card that includes

the best expense tracking and reporting software that I have ever seen, automatically capturing

every transaction the moment

your card is swiped. It saves you time. For listeners of the show, Ramp is offering metal cards

for the next 30 days. Just go to ramp.com slash Morgan. Cards issued by Sutton Bank, member FDIC,

which is not really my thing, but it's a fascinating book.

And I heard a phrase, I read a phrase in this book that I thought was so ingenious and

got me thinking. And the phrase was

magazine architect. Now, maybe some of you have heard this, already know this. It was new to me.

A magazine architect is a derisive term that architects use for their colleagues who design

buildings that look beautiful in Grace Magazine covers and they're shiny and they're

amazing and they get attention, they win awards, but they completely lack functionality for the tenants

who occupy these buildings. So it gave a bunch of these examples of what a magazine architect

will do. They will build these intricate, amazing roofs that look amazing,

and they are notorious nightmares of Ford leaking. Huge pain in the butt for the people who live in

them and own the buildings. They will create oddly shaped buildings, you know, hexagons and pentagons,

and they look great from the outside. They're very cool, but they offer very

little flexibility to remodel the interior layouts for the people actually using the buildings.
