If you’ve been following my journey, you probably know I do a lot of weird things in business. And that’s no accident. It’s by design.

We’d both been thinking about writing a book for months. This friendly challenge gave us both the kick in the ass to finally sit down and write. First draft is due a week from today.

I launched a theme page on Threads in May. I was lazy with it, and grew it to 511 followers. I got inspired last Saturday… Sat down and scheduled 6-8 posts per day using Black Twist. Here were my stats last Saturday: 511 followers. Here are my stats from this morning: I’ve been testing a bunch of different styles of content. Roughly, 4,500 of these followers have come from 4 different posts. These 4 posts follow 2 specific frameworks. I would not have figured that out without testing a…
