Another great resource is unroll.me, which is a free email un-subscriton site that collects your junk mail and let's you unsubscribe from lots of junk mail quickly, and also creates a "roll up" of any promotional emails you want to keep for reference.

Another brilliant episode with some great tips. Love the 30 day rule and your honesty Ryan about your 'size issue'. I know a lot of men who would love a 10ft one! Thank for all you do. Keep up the great work.
