Absolute gold mine!
Here are my top 3 takeaways:
1. Using templates to build out content systems will save you from the inspiration trap.
2. The game of Twitter & LinkedIn is to steal proven structures from established creators and repurpose them with your ideas.
3. You set the goal posts for your business. Money is only one of the many reasons for starting a business. If you want to work less, plan in that direction.
I only found Justin Welsh in the last few weeks. I'm loving his philosophy on business and life, so far!
This is a super valuable resource. Thanks for sharing!
Goldmine - Agreed!
Justin: "would you be opposed to me sharing my screen?"
Me: *my body shaking and my mind screaming NOOO!"
Can't believe this is on RUclips for free. Going to purchase his course after I finish Ship 30 for 30.
Same bro
This feels illegal 😂
Awesome episode. Learned a ton already from his content, but this deep dive into his processes and structure is amazing. Thanks for hosting guys!
Purchased your course, this was remarkable, very honest, and straight to the point.
Wow, thank you! This is so useful and insightful. I have been struggling. And you gave me the tools and motivation to make the impact I wishes to make.
Omg, i thought i was the only one! Joined early days hyper growth tech companies as a product manager in 2009, left tech in a similar way in 2018. Built a similar sized business (slightly smaller) during the pandemic, now rebuilding it with a new funnel. My clients are all on LinkedIn and I’ve noticed the same thing - they’re super agreeable and careful whereas I can afford to be more opinionated. Great insight on growing on the platform!
Loved this talk! Crazy high value content, as always. Super actionable!
man. im doing the creator mba right now. this conversation is so fucking full of value
This is so informative guys, Thanks for doing this!

its an amazing podcast thanks for sharing such goldmine
It's blissful to learn from this conversation. Thanks a lot...
What did you actually learn, that hasn't been a thread or blog 100 times in the last two years? Name 3.
Super smart dude. Very intrigued by his systems
"I want to keep the money the same and work half the time" ...I think he has figured it out.
Guys a beast 👊
Thanks
Hi, can I have the notion template, please ?
awesome
How can we get that twitter template?
My key takeaway at 37:39: I want to have the same money but work half the time. 😁 37:39
Wow
No one says, the world of VC's and angels is where the "dream is"... I can't even relate to that anymore. It's not worth the stress.
it's the world of the devil, enslaving you and taking away your company to enrich themselves
Bro has a big o mic in front of him but it sounds like tinny computer mic
How do people listen to other people who think they are this important or are actually saying something unique? Not a single unique thought or statement in this entire video.
It's not about what's unique, it's about what works.
I have spent thousands on business coaches and have gotten a fraction of the value of what Dickie and Cole are sharing here. For people like me who have built a business to a certain scale and have fallen into the same traps they’re talking about, this is lifesaving and saves me mental anguish doubting what needs to be done.
