Evan, just a note to say congratulations on year one! That’s a real milestone, and it shows in the quality and consistency of what you’ve built. Thanks for putting your ideas out there- and here’s to staying the course in the years ahead!

Even though I'm not a paid subscriber, this is absolutely one of my favorite Substacks! I eagerly read every single issue. I'm so glad to see the newsletter back on track and thrilled that your immense hard work is translating into well-deserved financial stability.

Kudos on your incredible commitment and outstanding results.

Keep up the great work, Evan!

Congrats, Evan! Having published over 600 issues since 2020, I think I have a pretty good idea of what you're living, and what it takes to maintain quality and longevity without losing authenticity.

Cheers 💚 🥃

Let's go, you're one of the only two newsletters i actually read.

The rest i just squeeze out the gist and move on. Don't try to be like everyone else please, someone has to bring the unsexy nuance that so eludes everyone else...

Congrats, Evan! Looking forward to year 2! Also, take good care of yourself. It sounds like you've got a lot on your plate and it doesn't help anyone if you crash and burn ;)

You are as of three months ago the only newsletter I read. I appreciate your resilience immensely

First newsletter I ever subscribed to (I use a different account for my subscription). Quality content, and I also really like the YouTube videos. I find some of the articles can be hard to digest and I think that's where the YT content will really work some magic.

The journey you've made is super inspiring. I've been lurking for awhile now have always found your writing super insightful. I don't read all the newsletters I've signed up to, but yours is one of those I seek out when it drops. Keep it up!

Congrats well done! And - I’m in a similar situation having to go all in to get out of a nasty debt and tax obligation situation…whilst pivoting from time-for-money consulting and coaching to build g something that can scale. I too am locked in and working for my fam. All the love, all the power

The Youtube channel is good. Can you track which social brings in the most? I found that focusing on one helps me a lot.
