Do you want to build a sustainable business but don’t think you’re a thought leader?

The Level Hey hey Reader, “I’m not sure if I’m qualified.” “No one will listen to me.” ”Ha! You want me to teach others what I know?!?” “There’s already so many ‘experts’ in my field. There’s no room for me.” Sound familiar? Because I hear that A LOT from some of the most intelligent, sincere, delightful people on planet earth. If that’s you, imposter syndrome and fear are keeping you small. But I don’t think you were meant to play it small. And I think your brain needs a wake up call, so...

The Level Happy Thursday Reader! Pricing products and services is usually an afterthought based on a gut feeling or a WAG (wild ass guess) in the creator economy and digital thought leadership world. But here’s the problem: if you started with a WAG and haven’t looked at the data to make a more informed decision about what a more appropriate, VALUE-based price should be, as the months and years go on, you’re leaving big time dollars on the table. I’m here to help you provide maximum value,...

The Level Hello and happy Thursday Reader, News to me, but subscription models are as old as modern civilization, even dating back to the early 17th century.

It’s another to continuously earn the right to keep each email address week after week, month after month, and year after year. Even if you don’t quite have a business plan for how you’ll use your email list “someday”, it’s important to...

Why you should give a sh*t about the potential TikTok ban even if you don’t have an account

The Level Hey Reader, In case you’ve been hiding out under a rock (I wouldn’t blame you tbh), the US House of Representatives voted in favor of banning TikTok in the US a few weeks back. This has been a game of Russian roulette for years between the U.S. and China because ByteDance, TikTok’s parent company, is a Chinese company and, therefore, subject to all manner of laws that serve as the antithesis to the privacy that Americans are used to enjoying.
