I’m convinced that right now thousands of unknown / underrated yet great creators aren’t struggling to create great content. They’re struggling to get their content in front of the right audiences because they don’t understand distribution or marketing.

I’m gonna change that.

Marketers are funny.

Once they’ve found something that works, instead of doubling down on it, they’ll test unproven tactic after tactic to try to find something even better.
