Nathan Barry has another amazing interview.

"We dive into how Chris grew from 0 to 1M+ LinkedIn followers in two years, his system for publishing high-quality content at scale, and why creating more volume (not perfection) can unlock massive growth."

Key ideas:
💥 LinkedIn is an under-tapped platform for building a personal brand and generating business. 75% of new business for his ventures came from LinkedIn, and he built a $10M+ business primarily through his personal brand there without a sales team.
💥 Invest in content and frameworks so good, people want to share it.

Milly Tamati created the platform she always wished existed: Generalist World — a newsletter and Slack community for multi-disciplinary professionals who don't fit traditional job categories. After testing various prices, she now offers a $950 lifetime membership model.

Key Insights:
💥 She’s posted nearly every day on LinkedIn for over 1,000 consecutive workdays.
💥 Her quiz — What Kind of Generalist Are You? — has been taken 30,000+ times and converted 20,000+ newsletter subscribers.
💥 Communities like Generalist World offer curated talent pools with built-in trust: members refer each other, companies can reach out directly

Good article on the value of niching down and focusing on solving a real problem for an audience with money.

What works:
💥 Pick a rich micro-niche.
💥 Create a free tool to attract the right subscribers.
💥 Don't post daily. A small number of high quality newsletter editions are enough.
💥 Charge a lot for content that helps people make more money.
💥 Affiliate deals can be more lucrative than subscriptions.
