Hey Reader, I'm coming to you from Charlotte this morning. I'm getting ready to speak at the Empowered Podcasting Conference. (more to come on that next week) 🤗 But let's get into why I'm hitting your inbox today... Last month I dropped an uncut solo podcast. But I never expected what happened next. The outpouring of gratitude, support, and love from the people who listened blew me away. And I understand why. It’s because it was uncut. It was transparent. It was emotional.

But here's what’s really wild… In 5 years of daily posting, he's had exactly ONE post go over 100,000 views. Yet he's built a 7-figure business. How? T-shirts. Nat only wears 80s and 90s movie t-shirts. Breakfast Club. Ferris Bueller. The Goonies....
I was planning on using this weekend to relax and recharge. But since it poured buckets on Saturday and my kids went to a birthday party, I decided to build something special for you. So far this year, I've had 168 sales meetings with founders and experts. And one piece of information that I learn from every call is... Their No. 1 biggest frustration with content.
