RIP Ozzman. My journey learning and playing guitar would have been so much less fun without Iron Man, Paranoid, and Crazy Train. 🤘

I am losing in the fight to steer people away from Substack. I underestimated how little moral compass people actually have. But if more of my base goes over to Substack, I'm gonna pivot, stop doing what I'm doing and go do something else. I don't want to help people build there. Nightmare shit.

Chenell published 30 newsletter editions in 30 Days. She called it 30 Days of Growth. That's a lot for someone who typically just publishes once a week. So… was it worth it? We did a full breakdown on the @growthinreverse.com podcast. Here’s what we cover—and what she’d never do again 🧵

I had a good problem with a bad result: I'd gained 1,700+ subscribers 100% passively. But my metrics were taking a beating. Here's what happened.

30 Days of Growth already has 2,600+ signups… but there’s a problem. We’re leaving a lot on the table. Here’s how we’re fixing it. Chenell’s “pop-up” newsletter 30 Days of Growth hit 2.6k subscribers in 14 days. But it could have been even more successful.

What am I doing wrong? If tariffs are paid by the importer: 1-US business "A" buys $100 pants from Canadian business "B" 2-But A now pays $125 for B's pants 3-But the $25 doesn't go to B, it goes to US gov't 4-Pants retail price go from $150 to $199 (plus sales tax) 5-More sales tax to US gov't

Grateful for the many Americans I know who do NOT represent the White House dictator & isolationist. I'll continue to support my American creator friends. But to protest the tariffs—I'll purchase as few goods from the USA as possible until this madness is over. As an ally, this really sucks.
