🌌 1. I Created The Star Wars Of Podcasts – A Three Part Business Saga
I’m just kidding.
Last week, I concluded a three podcast episode arc about planning my business for 2024.
The journey is wild, it starts with me introducing my “Sprint” planning method and ends with me shutting down my agency.
The feedback from these episodes have been overwhelmingly positive.
Since 24,000 of you read this email, and only 1,000 listen per episode, I thought I’d point you towards it. ⬇️

✍️ 2. I Recommend You Write
I get a ton of questions from folks online asking what I reccomend they do in their careers, life, and business. Here’s what I usually say:
I recommend you write.
Doesn’t have to be much.
- Journal.
- Write a blog post.
- Post a tweet.
I’ve written more in the last 2 years than the last 2 decades.
The result?
- 400k+ followers.
- 25k+ weekly readers.
- $500k+ businesses.
All thanks to writing.

🎞️ 3. App My Wife Is Obsessed With – Letterboxd
My wife is a cinephile.
Her prolific film watching puts me to shame.
For years she’s been looking for the perfect solution for tracking her lifetime obsession with film.
She’s been keeping millions of paper lists in Field Notes, plus a notepad in her phone.
I can report, we finally have a replacement.
Letterboxed is GoodReads for movies.
You can search, rank, review, and create lists.
The search function is also incredible.
No more searching Wikipedia for film info – it’s all in once place.
She also loves the user-generated reviews.
Rotten Tomatoes sucks.
My wife’s description: “The reviews are real people, saying real shit, about real films.” lol
If you’re looking for a place to catalogue, track, review, and discover films, check out Letterboxd. (not an ad, just my wife’s fav app)
P.S. Here’s my wife’s account if you want to follow her 😂
🕶️ 4. I Just Bought The Most Uncool Blue Blocking Glasses – TrueDark Twilights Classic
I broke the arm off my pair of Swannies blue blockers, and needed a new pair.
I decided to go for the nuclear option.
They are so uncool.
I look like this wearing them:
But they work.
I put these things on and start getting tired, nearly immediately.
If you’re watching tv or looking at screens at night, get a pair (doesn’t have to be these).
Has drastically improved my sleep.
