Such a cutie, money wasted, and a reminder of the fundamentals of newsletters

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there!

I’ve been hard at work wrapping up the 1% Writer course and am about to dive into the Hooked on Hooks course version 2025. The momentum from getting back into the education space has inspired me to keep going, not to mention review previous courses and all the goodies I’ve picked up from my Money Twitter days.

Don’t underestimate the power of those courses you’ve collected. They mean nothing if you haven’t internalized anything.

In any case, I’m busy today prepping dinner for my parents in honor of my dad (not too rich, though).

Here’s what I’ve dug up this week:

BlueSky Bit - Awww look at it (so happy)

Medium Moment - This is bound to run some people the wrong way

Substack Sampling - Something I just learned on a deeper level but bears repeating

Prismatic Progress:

As I mentioned above and in previous weeks, I’m again going into another shift in this newsletter.

YouTube methods do work.

Stuff I see from last year’s notes in my Notion logs hit differently.

Everything that I’ve absorbed slowly has started to merge in my mind (finally).

You’re going to see my welcome sequence emails take shape from the 1% Writer course as I put them together.

Also, I just finished John Bejakovic’s “10 Commandments” book for copywriting (and it is awesome).

So I’ll be applying that as well.

Lots of stuff happening in the background, but I’m sticking to my “Pumpkin Protocol”.

At midnight, everything shuts down.

Whether I managed to get anything done or not, my health has to come first. Dad reminded me of that, and I’m thankful I didn’t have to lose him in the process.

We keep moving forward.
