“How can apostrophes and dashes affect my search engine rankings and personal brand”?

Segment #3: Guest interview

This week I speak to Hulk Hogan, who is one of the most sought-after, instantly recognizable celebrities in the world. When I grew up, I idolized Hogan and even saw him wrestle Andre the Giant when I was a little kid. He is a twelve-time professional world wrestling champion—six titles with WWE and six with WCW—and the winner of the Royal Rumble in 1990 and 1991. He has appeared in several movies, including Rocky III, Mr. Nanny, and No Holds Barred. He was the co-host for NBC’s American Gladiators, and is the executive producer, judge, and host of Hulk Hogan’s Championship Wrestling on CMT. In 2005, VH1 premiered his reality TV show Hogan Knows Best. Hogan is a frequent guest on every major talk show, such as Jimmy Kimmel Live! and The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. In this interview, Hulk opens up about how he was originally branded in the wrestling business, his family life, reality television, and much more. As of today, this was my favorite interview out of about 900 since 2007! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Real confidence rarely needs to announce itself: it shows up as stillness under pressure, a level voice when everyone else in the room is raising theirs, a willingness to let silence sit for a few extra seconds, and no need to perform for an audience that was never really watching

A survey of 2,000 women over 45 commissioned by the herbal remedy brand A. Vogel found that more than two-thirds felt completely ignored by men the moment they walked into a crowded room, and 46 percent said no one around them seemed to understand what that shift actually felt like

Received Pronunciation, the accent linguists still nickname the Queen’s English, took shape inside a handful of England’s most expensive private schools, and it remains such a reliable marker of that background that a stranger can often place someone’s education within a single sentence.
