Newsletter Recommendation of the Week
I’ve been following Simon since the post-Covid days and admire his simplistic analysis and curated readings of trending things in the creator economy space + publishing industry.
🫶🏼Why I Like It:
Real business breakdowns. Simon interviews solo media entrepreneurs—from podcasters monetizing niche audiences to newsletter writers converting free subscribers into paying customers. You get actionable strategies, conversion rate benchmarks, and revenue models that work.
Coverage beyond the obvious players. While most outlets obsess over legacy media giants, Simon finds bootstrapped operators to solo entrepreneurs quietly crushing it behind the scenes. These are the kind of stories that give you actual blueprints for growth.
Synthesizes the entire media ecosystem. Whether it's platform economics, subscription strategies, or how traditional outlets are experimenting with creator models, Simon connects dots across YouTube, Substack, podcasting, and legacy publishing.

Create a Branded Coaching Ecosystem - All In One Platform
Most coaches think growth comes from launching new programs.
Julie Ciardi scaled to a 7-figure business by doing the opposite, she built a coaching ecosystem on Kajabi that keeps clients engaged all year long and organically attracts new clients through word-of-mouth.
In this free live workshop, Julie reveals the exact Kajabi setup that drove her 150% year-over-year revenue growth, 65% client retention, and a jump from 150 to 750+ clients in her second year.
You’ll see how she connects her courses, private podcast, community portal, and mobile app into one seamless experience that removes friction, creates daily touchpoints, and keeps clients coming back.
She’ll also share the Kajabi course template she uses to build her coaching hub.
