Brian also went down the Substack rabbit hole.
Brian was really on fire this week, he also brought up an innovative way to deliver a course I’ve never seen before.
We decided to start a Gumroad sprint starting today! With prizes of course!

❓ How Can I Simplify?
A weekly question for me, and you to save time, money, and/or energy.
Last week I canceled two subscriptions (Senja & Fathom), so I figured I should continue in that direction.
I took out my credit card statement and listed all my recurring (monthly & yearly) charges and am giving myself a goal to cut them by 20% (some I’ll cut completely, others I’ll reduce to come to a total 20% reduction).
Can you do the same thing?
