If you haven’t ever seen Nick Ising’s beard, it is quite the sight to behold. The most interesting thing about Nick’s beard is what you will find in it while he is napping in his office! On a recent venture, I found the following items:
A fish hook
Havarti Cheese
A WIP bill
An RFP from 1979
A great mentor/teacher
I wasn’t at all shocked by what was in his beard – there were a couple of things I wish I would have found, but unfortunately did not. In no particular order:
$500,000 in billing
A new client
A January bonus check
A free vacation day
Olive Garden Gift card
That makes me think….maybe we can use Nick’s beard to populate the birthday wheel next month!
Is Advertising on TikTok Worth It?
For the past few years, advertisers have been asking the same question about TikTok: Is it worth it?
Given changing trends, growing competition and considerable uncertainty about the platform’s future in the United States, it was fair for brands to be cautious. But in 2026, TikTok remains one of the most influential places for people to discover products, explore interests and connect with brands.
So, is TikTok still worth the advertising investment?
