#403: What's Left to Be Good At (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A few weeks ago I got on a call with someone I coached many years ago. Partway through, I said something almost without thinking. By the time we hung up, I realized it might be the most useful thing I've told anyone in the past month or two. This episode walks through that conversation and the question that triggered it: What would a client create if there were no limits at all? That question used to be dangerous to ask, because the honest answer was almost always bigger than what you could actu
#402: One of the Most Surprising Things I've Learned From 15 Years of Surveying My Audience (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For 15 years, the top answer on every survey I've sent my audience has been the same: I need more clients. Typically, 70 to 80% of respondents pick it without a second thought.

You never stop depending on something. The real question is whether you chose those dependencies on purpose or slowly adopted them wi
#400: Fragile Independence vs. Resilient Independence (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If you went solo as a writer or marketer, you already made your declaration of independence. You left a paycheck, or a boss, or both. You did the brave thing. Lately, though, you might be wondering whether that independence still holds up. The work feels less predictable. AI keeps changing what clients will pay for. And a familiar thought creeps in: maybe I should go find something more stable. In this episode, I want to talk you out of that trap. I start with a story you think you know, the mor
