BLOW UP Your Creator Business with Me in Real Time

📚 Hey, good morning! Time to win.
Well, after months of equivocating and delaying and all sorts of shenanigans…
I finally launched my podcast!
It’s done! It’s out!
It’s called…
Yup, same name as this newsletter, and the same name as the main community.
I’m either not very creative, OR just really good at branding :)
The first episode is a solo-cast where I share some extreme time management tactics found in one of the best business books I’ve ever read.
I also speak a bit about perfectionism and how I’ve (somewhat) overcome it in my life and work.
Then we get into asking some extremely high-leverage questions that will get you thinking in entirely new ways about success, achievement, and what's actually possible for you.
Finally, towards the end, I lay out some of my business goals for the next few months, how I'm personally growing my business, some of the best opportunities I'm seeing right now, etc.
But I gotta say…
It’s not a bad first episode!
It’s DECENT, and I don’t waste your time. If you get value from these emails and the rest of my work, you may like the podcast as well.
I see tons of room for improvement, but…
Imagine what Year 10 will look like!
I’m playing LONG-TERM games with LONG-TERM people here, and it should be interesting to see how it all works out.
Here’s the episode on YouTube, and I think it takes a few hours for the show to go live on Apple and Spotify, etc. But the video version will always be available on YouTube. Enjoy!

Note: I’ll update follower counts once per week, since it’s such a waste of time to go through all of them every single night. Also, Threads annoyingly doesn’t give exact numbers. Oh well.
As always, at the bottom of this email I’ll lay out everything I did today to move closer to my Ultimate Vision. This is to keep me accountable and to show you that I’m working as hard as I’m encouraging you to work…

I’m taking the next few weeks off from the gym, with the exception of some light cardio and maybe some even lighter weights. That’s the plan: I’ve been pushing myself extremely hard these past few months and have made pretty spectacular gains, and so I’m giving my body (and mind) some extra time to recover and come back bigger and stronger.

Great day in some respects, but in others…yea, lots of room for improvement.
I’m not generating NEARLY the productivity that I need to in order to hit my April goals, but at the same time, I know that if I just rake in some more cash this month, I can hire some HELP and get on top of more things, ramp up the content creation process, etc.
It’s basically just me doing all the editing, creation, all that stuff. So yeah, once I get my profits up (which shouldn’t be hard!) I’ll be able to really “lift off” so to speak.
Anyway, I’m exhausted haha.
Until next time…happy reading!
All the best,
Matt Karamazov
