Firsts: An inquiry to give up the username @thehardquestions on Instagram

I got approached to change my username so a young brand could have it. See what happens when you follow your dreams and create a social media account for almost any idea you have? I’m about to be filthy rich and you can you! #followyourdreams

Today on Instagram, I got a very pleasant message asking if I would change the username for one of my favorite, little-known accounts – @thehardquestions.

Take a break. It’s fine…but follow my Instagram before you log off.⬆️

The inquiring account owner is building an apparel brand and prefers a IG handle with no punctuation marks. They have a Shopify store going with a couple t-shirt designs ready for sale. They’re serious.

This is the first time someone has asked for a username for any of my social accounts. I’m drunk with power. I’m flattered. Intrigued.

I’m also willing to give up the username on IG (and Threads, if they’re interested) for a very reasonable fee. I professionally replied to the account and invited them to make an offer for one or both.
