I’m speaking at the World’s Biggest Business Competition this Saturday (11/14).
@simonsquibb is giving away $1 million and helping people start a business, for free.
I’m doing a fireside chat at 10AM MST / 5PM UK on the App Builder track.
It's completely free, sign-up link in the comments.
Every YouTube video you publish could be growing your email list.
It turns out most of mine aren’t, and @chenellco told me I could be leaving 30,000 email subscribers on the table.
She explained how she used custom lead magnets in her own videos, which were converting 3.5% of views into email subscribers.
You’ve already done the hard work of getting people to watch, so make sure they end up on your email list.

I spent last week in Austin speaking at @takimoore's event. Got to teach flywheels, which is still one of my favorite things to talk about.
While I was in town, Taki and I recorded a new episode for my podcast, and I joined @nevmed on his. Excited for you to hear the episodes.
What a fun week, thanks for having me.
I'm building a tool for authors so good that I think anyone would be crazy to try and launch a bestseller without it.

As I closed the trunk on my car I realized my registration was 5 months expired... oops!
Thankfully a quick text to @bot and it was renewed 5 minutes later.

Most people will read a creator’s advice and never do anything with it.
@chenellco told me about two guys who heard her speak at a conference, implemented her advice, and went from adding 15 new subscribers a day to 127.
Then they emailed to tell her about it, which she said almost never happens.
If you learn something useful from a creator, try it out. And if it works, tell them. You’ll go from being one of 50,000 people who saw their advice to one of about five who actually used it.

As the founder of an email marketing platform, you’d think my newsletter would be dialed in.
But it turns out there’s a lot I could be doing better.
@chenellco reverse engineers how the biggest newsletters grow. In this episode, she breaks down the five levers behind newsletter growth, then applies them to my newsletter.
I met Ricardo Semler last night.
If you've ever read Maverick, you know how excited I was.
If you haven't read Maverick, go do that now.

Right now, a lot of people are scared that AI is going to replace them.
But @danshipper says there’s far less to worry about than we think.
He explains the 3 stages people go through when adapting to AI, and why he thinks the future of work looks bright.

This was a fun episode!
The one and only @nathanbarry's question before every big decision: "What do you feel you need to say, but you're a little nervous to bring up?"
Then let it sit. Don't fill the silence.
Ep. 4 of Beyond the Meeting is out.

I joined @AaronKlein on Beyond the Meeting and shared the decision framework we used during one of the biggest moments in Kit’s history, our rebrand from ConvertKit.
If you lead a team and it’s hard to get everyone on the same page, this episode will help you make better decisions together.
We lost one of the greats of the bootstrapped software world.
Adam Robinson was so inspiring to follow in his journey to build Retention, RB2B, and MoltSets in public. There aren't many people who bootstrap a company to $10M+ like he did, let alone to do it in public.
Last time we were together in Miami he teased me that my Web App Challenge was so inspirational to him, but that he wished I posted more. So he'd ask himself, "What do I wish Nathan shared?" Then write that.
I loved his public posts, lessons learned, and the way he ran the podcast. He was also so generous with his data and legal knowledge as we launched Subscriber Signals at Kit.
Adam, thank you for the generosity in every interaction. You inspired me and thousands of other founders. You'll be dearly missed.
Rest in peace.
I'm headed to Austin this week to speak at a conference and record a few podcasts for The Ladders of Wealth. What shows should I go on?

How much time would you save if you could clone your expertise with AI?
@danshipper's team at @every turned 40,000 of their editor-in-chief’s copy edits into an AI skill. Now the agent does a first pass before a piece reaches her, so she spends less time on each one while her impact grows.
