Chris, at first what drew me to your newsletter, of course, it’s the success of the channel. However, what keeps me to stay, read and reflect is the characters of you and Adrienne shined through the words.

In Chinese, we have an old saying” before you can do the right work, you need to be the right person”!

Thank you! I'm glad to hear you like the incorporation of the personal elements. Everything we've done has come from a very personal place, and we've decided NOT to do a lot of things because they didn't feel congruent.

I love that saying. It really resonates. I'm very conscious of the ongoing process of being and becoming the right person. Thanks for sharing it.

Great article Chris. I didn't realize you created a digital product. I'm glad to hear it was just the right thing for you at the time. I'm now creating a digital product because the membership thing is still a struggle.

Hey Drew! Yeah, we launched four standalone digital products before we even considered a membership. I've got a post on the membership launch coming up soon.

Standalone products are easier to market and sell than a membership, so I still recommend them to everybody. They're great for testing out a concept and building an audience. With every product launch, we always added a lot of new people to our list, which made it easier to eventually promote the membership.
