3 Lessons From Penn Badgley and You
Now that you know all about Penn Badgley’s net worth, and how he achieved success; let’s take a look at some of the lessons we can learn from him:
1. Sort Out Your Social Media Privacy Settings
Do you really want Joe Public (or in this case, Joe Goldberg) to have access to your every waking thought and activity? Sometimes it’s worth restricting access to what you post if only to make it that much harder for someone to track down where you live, work and party.
2. Just Because a Guy Is Hot, Doesn’t Mean He’s Not Creepy
With his TV star looks and easy charm, Joe doesn’t seem like the kind of guy who’d jerk off on the street while watching your apartment. Spoiler alert: he is.
3. It Doesn’t Take Supersonic Hearing to Eavesdrop In a Crowded Bar
When Joe follows Guinevere on a night out with her objectionable gal pals, he has no trouble following their conversation despite sitting some distance away and the bar being abuzz with activity. Who knew it was that easy to listen in?
