Key Takeaways

1

Invest in the ecosystem around your core business, as high-conviction investments in tools you already use can often yield higher returns than the business itself.

2

Adopt the 'fat pitch' investing philosophy by remaining patient and only swinging at opportunities that fall within your specific 'sweet spot' of competence.

3

Focus on 'Text-Based Bangers' (TBB) for audience growth rather than simple consistency; high-impact, high-value individual pieces of content drive more growth than frequent, mediocre posts.
