Youthforia failed not because ๏ฟผof cancel culture, not because of bad reviews. It failed for the same reason that every brand fails. #youthforia #makeup

Tennis legend Althea Gibson almost quit tennis to join the army. But thankfully, she had a friend who set her down and made her realize it was the dumbest thing she could possibly do. Who is that friend that stopped you from making dumb decisions? #strategy #ambition #altheagibson #tennis #history

Althea Gibson, Josephine Baker, and Cristobal Balenciaga all understood the art of the pivot.

Who should I write about next ? May is for the Met Gala, so I need to choose between Anna Wintour or Dapper Dan. #fashiontok #annawintour #dapperdan #biographies #booktok #themetgala #ambition #strategy #metgala2025 #Vogue #nyc

When someone signs up through the embed, they get put into this automation, which sends them this email. The email contains a link to the subscribe form.

I finished at 11:10 - so about 40 minutes - not bad for a Saturday!

My comments and DM's are FULL of founders who want to be featured. I'm feeling a little overwhelmed. I'm at the point where I have two options:

1. Hire a VA
2. Put my paid @beehiiv.com subscription to work

08.03.2025 15:35 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 2    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

I've only done two so far, but the engagement has been incredible. I get to highlight startups, coffee shops, hot sauce companies, and they get more eyes on their products.

Here's where the automation comes in.
