Happy 2024! btw, I'm looking for a reason to come visit you... π
As we head into 2024, Iβll share a personal goal for me and a professional/business suggestion for you:
Iβd like to do at least eight speaking events this year and double down on content this year: I have a feeling that doubling my content output could 5X-10X my reach. Iβd also like to run three marathons with a sub-3:30 average time.
If youβre serious about growing your business, 2024 is your year to stop being romantic about things: youβre fighting a war for the attention of the people that are not yet your customers. The sooner you accept that fact, the sooner you can act accordingly. π

Happy Friday (from a coffee shop in balmy Sioux Falls, SD this morning)! Ed and I spent some time at a local pitch event last night, it's been a good reminder that, for the most part, access to capital isn't the problem. The thing about money is that it accelerates what's already happening. You spent 80% of the meeting talking about all your features? I have a prettttyyyyy good idea on what you'll spend 100% of the investment on. π¬ Between the macroeconomy and the rise of entrepreneurship...
Happy Friday! On my mind this week: "Invest in brand, or pay more in CAC forever and ever." As much as I want to take credit for this one, it was a friend's tweet that caught my eye. However you slice it, third-party relationships (ie, PPC, sponsorships, etc) are short-term and first-party relationships (ie, your own brand, email list, etc) are forever. π« *** New episode: Joe Rogan's Next Big Payday And Spotify Pivots On Distribution Joe Rogan is resetting the market again with an incredible...
Happy Friday! On my mind this week: most entrepreneurs fear the wrong thing. Growth is fun. Failure sucks. But the absolute worst thing that can happen is being stuck in something that's not-quite-growing-but-not-quite-dead. "We haven't monetized this yet but I've been working on this for almost a year!
