- next week i get to announce the details of my first ever international trip that i'm hosting for my paid subscribers and i cannot wait
- Every time there's media layoffs we have the same damn conversations about how "paid newsletters aren't sustainable" and "wouldn't it be great if someone just fixed this for us." No one is coming. You have to create the way forward. The question is are you up for it or not?
- I spent the last couple years working with journalists and it's meaningful work but honestly there's just such low morale and small belief in earning potential combined with immense hesitancy to become entrepreneurial. Sorry that's your situation. Welcome to the club?
- One of the things that makes it harder to be a journalist entrepreneur is the constant think pieces about how "this isn't working" whatever this is. Seeding more doubt into what's already a hard path. The rest of the entrepreneurship space is way more hopeful. Get out of your journalist bubble
- I love you guys but we really need more journalists to become entrepreneurs. That does not have to mean you start a paid newsletter. Being an entrepreneur means learning how to invent stuff. My position is that this is the only way forward for media: more journalist entrepreneurs.
- The problem is then you're all gonna make pennies. I've been studying this a bit the last couple years and you can keep wishing for it, but I don't see a way where you make a sustainable living being part of a bundle. It's a fun side play but it's not gonna carry multiple people's salaries
- CEO of beehiiv offering one year free to anyone affected by Washington Post layoffs. There’s no platform lock-in with beehiiv and no revenue cut (unless you use their ad network). He’s betting you’re gonna like it enough to stay
