Read time: 2 minutes Hey Reader! So much has happened since my last email - both good and bad:
Why am I telling you this? Something I've been thinking about is why do I follow the people I follow? Is it for their helpful tips about writing, marketing, entrepreneurship, etc? Partly. But then there's the TikTok dancer I discovered 5 years ago. I still follow her on Instagram. The same goes for a #vanlife YouTuber who travels around America. Dancing and living in a van are two things I only have a vague interest in. So why do I keep following these people? What I've come to realise is it's because they're interesting! They do cool sh*t. They're human. And it's this "do cool sh*t in a human way" whilst being thoughtful about the type of content they post that's so compelling. That's why I'm sharing these updates. I encourage you to do the same. I, for one, would love to know what's going on in your life. So that's my message to you today: Do more cool sh*t and share it with the world. We want to hear it. As always, thanks so much for reading, and have a wonderful weekend! :) Scott p.s. I received lots of positive messages about the voice letters, so I'll be doing another soon! But I feel a little rough after yesterday's wedding, and I didn't want to subject your ears to my croaking π β How I can help you even more:

It was an experiment. I wanted to see: What the unsubscribe rate would be How it would feel to put it out there Whether anyone would book a call It's a mixed bag on all these things, and I felt a little dirty putting the course out there. Why? I copied the style from another creator and it didn't really vibe with...
Read time: 3.5 minutes Hey Reader, I recently moved into my new apartment! π₯³οΈ And not long after, I lost a major client π€ͺ Months of steady work and then suddenly POOF - I wasn't needed anymore. Company structuring. Layoffs. Gone. If this happened to me two years ago, I would have FREAKED OUT! But this time? I was like "meh". That's because I've developed a system for landing gigs and making that sweet $$ As a result, I recently closed two new clients, taking my income back to where it was a...
Read time: 1 minute Hey Reader, Now I know what you're thinking: You're a writer, Scott! Why are you recording YouTube videos?! I hear you! The truth is, the video I've just uploaded might be a one-off. I had grand plans to do a whole series around introverts. But after finishing this video, I've realised how much time YouTube takes. Writing the script, recording the video, editing, making a thumbnail, writing the description... It's a lot! And although I could outsource the process, I'm not...
