Every month we like to share good business advice with you, make you laugh and show you what we’ve been enjoying this past month. So here are our Loves, Learns and Laughs for July 2016.

(PSST get this and more in your inbox each month! Sign up for our mailing list today!)

Loves
This past month we’ve been enjoying the Colorado sunshine, especially the mountains. Several team members have spent weekends hiking and enjoy the gorgeous mountain views. Here are a few recommendations from the team:
  • Shrine Mountain Trail - Off Vail Pass
  • Lair o' the Bear - Morrison
  • Mt. Falcon Park - Evergreen
  • Fish Creek Falls - Steamboat
  • St. Mary's Glacier - Idaho Springs

Speaking of things we enjoy, have you heard of the Story Brand podcast with Donald Miller? The final episode from season one was an interview with Scott Hamilton. It’s pure gold (pun intended).

Learns
We do a lot of content creation here at 27th, and one of our new favorite tools is the Hemingway Editor. Copy and paste your writing into the free online tool. It will tell you if it’s too complex, how much passive voice you’ve used and how many adverbs you’ve used. Using this tool will help you see what could improve your writing and create powerful blog posts. (We’re still here to help if you need us).

We also learned that we may suffer from a few of these bad habits. We’re working to kick those habits to the curb. Which one is your biggest downfall?

Laughs
Sometimes you need a good laugh, and puns almost always provide a good guffaw. We compiled a list of our 10 favorites. Brace yourself.

  • What do you mean June is over? Julying
  • This year’s flu is going viral.
  • A magazine about ceiling fans went bankrupt due to low circulation.
  • I decided not to go to Pisa, but I was leaning towards it.
  • I read a book about gravity, it was a heavy subject.
  • How does a penguin build a house? Igloos it together.
  • What do you call a melon who's not allowed to get married? Cant-elope.
  • I went to buy some camouflage trousers the other day but I couldn’t find any.
  • What is a thesaurus’ favorite dessert? Synonym buns.
  • I owe a lot to the sidewalks. They’ve been keeping me off the streets for years.
