Her interview w/ Benioff was maybe my favorite interview w/ any SaaS leader. She takes no prisoners.

Phenomenal advice here, even for solo content creators outside B2B. Lots of nuggets.

I really like the flywheel you put together, and wonder how one might look like for solo creators...

Keep it up, Kyle. 30k is nothing to sniff at! Totally on board with the flywheel here, writing makes a huge difference

Ever had a moment where your writing unexpectedly opened doors or led to cool connections?

It is one thing to talk about it conceptually but another to be able to see a direct link (and you know everybody loves a story!). Would love to hear a specific way it helped if you could share with us

Thanks, John! My favorite connection from the writing was meeting the CEO/Founder of a $10B+ PLG co & presenting at their exec offsite 😊 (I love to geek out about this stuff if you can’t tell…)

Thanks, Charlene! The target audience has remained the same (it’s still a niche newsletter) but I’ve broadened the positioning to include much more storytelling of different case studies, tactics, and growth journeys.

I love reading your posts and have been considering starting writing myself, mostly for selfish reasons around solidifying learning as you've mentioned. Did you start hear and people happened to love your perspective? Or was there any plans around what other people would love too?
