Reader, you're doing email wrong. I was too for years. We think an email needs to be a long, meaty newsletter full of links and content. It's not. It's a bomb of information that people instantly archive. The magic formula is simple: Less content, more emails. If you have four great tips, don't stuff them into one long email. Break it into four sharp, punchy emails sent over four weeks. This is the core of EMO (Email Marketing Optimisation) formula. You are optimising for attention. You need...

Hey Reader, quick update for you. Paused the newsletter for a bit while I launched GrowthKit. (Yeah, I sent a few too many emails. My bad.) But it’s live now — and I’m back.

I'm building my own app to replace Skool. It'll be v similar to skool UI-wise, but I have a backlog of features to add in the coming months to make the app unique and help founders grow. Why? Skool is great, and I love it, but there are some features in there I don't use or need, and there are some features I need that aren't there, yet. Plus, the new app goes hand in hand with GrowthKit, and will give me further ammo to help founders grow. Paying GrowthKit members will get a super generous...
