i got sent out of class every day

Most people think I'm naturally consistent. The hell I am. Focus and discipline have been a lifelong fight. In primary school I got sent out of class almost daily. I never listened. I drew imaginary cities in my notebook, or I distracted the kid next to me. I never flunked. I just did the bare minimum to pass. That didn't magically change. I got my bachelor at 29 (Yikes). If you're wired like me, you know the cycle: hard to start, and once you start, hard to stop. It's exhausting. So I...

If you're like me, you're impulsive by nature. But when doubt creeps in? Then you lose your decisiveness. You see an opportunity – like a sales email or some kind of offer that looks like a no-brainer. And then you just freeze. You let the opportunity die. You wonder where that impulsiveness has gone. For me that was a $6k mastermind hosted by Greg Eisenberg in Florida. 50 like-minded people. One big Airbnb. 3 days. Been following the guy for years. But I just froze. I didn't act. Maybe it...

This isn't the first cohort email I've sent you. So let me skip the pitch. Here's what I know about you: You're posting. You're showing up. You're putting in the work. But somewhere along the way something got lost. The people who engage aren't the people who buy. Your profile looks fine but doesn't feel or looks like you. Your content performs okay but doesn't perform well. And you're starting to wonder if this is just how it works, or if you're missing something obvious. The trap most...

In 2018, we sold our agency for a bargain. It was a fair deal, but man it could’ve been much better. You see, we founded our agency while still in college. I was 23. My co-founder was only 18. And we knew absolutely nothing about: Positioning to target the right people Building visibility around our business Attracting clients vs. desperately chasing them It resulted in low goodwill when we received the offer. After that, I took a long break and worked on a few interim and freelance projects....

Last week I had a 59-minute call with a friend who coaches the biggest founder brands on LinkedIn. (Think heavyweights like Adam Robinson, Sam Jacobs, Gal Ala) Every once in a while we jump on a call and geek out about LinkedIn. We talked about 3 things: what’s happening to the feed what will work in 2026 why AI is quietly making people worse at writing Here are my predictions and takeaways from that conversation. 1. The "human-written" renaissance AI has a huge negative impact on LinkedIn....

It's been a really long wait. I'm more excited about this than when I was 7 waiting for Sinterklaas. (Dutch Santa-kind-of-guy that give presents to kids) The Content Design Cohort is happening next Tuesday. And we're open for business. I've put all the details in a neat document for you. But if you give me 2 min of your time, I'll spill the beans here. It starts with 4 weeks where our goal is to put together these 3 components: 1. ICP and LinkedIn setup Content only works when it’s aimed at...

In 12 hours from now, the early bird spots will be done. I'll be sharing this offer to 2600+ people. Then I'll share the offer with 86,322 followers on LinkedIn. If you're still thinking about it, you can hit reply "EARLY" and I'll send you the details. This is the last time I'll be mentioning the Early Bird rate. Pinky promise. Cheers, Nick
