Hi friend! This week's deep dive is a bit different. It's not a deep dive on how someone went from $0 to $250k with their business. It's a deep dive on my creator business in 2024. For full transparency, I'm far away from $250k in annual revenue, but one day :) Let me know what you think of this one and if it's helpful!

Hi friend! I'll be at SXSW next week! Let me know if you'll be there. I'd love to see you in-person!
