#Brands and #Domains are synonymous. They are two sides of the same coin. I heard a great example of this on my morning walk today—@jasoncalacanis and Chamath Palihapitiya were encouraging a DefenseTech brand to change their laughably unpronounceable brand name. I've already

It’s been a fun domaining day at our house: a client’s 6-figure domain sold via Defining.com and I sold one of my 2 word domains (bought for $3K+ via GoDaddy auctions) for $80K with a smooth transaction at DomainEasy. Can’t leave @dynadot out—thanks for the fast transfer and fun
