He has 4 other books! I think right now he's also writing a book about raising entrepreneurial children too, or has he published it I'm not sure. It's very interesting how widely applicable his ideas are. Tell me what you think of him some time :D

It's funny because when I read "I like him because, unlike other creators who first got famous and then built their businesses on their fame, Priestley was already a successful serial entrepreneur before he started creating content. He sought the limelight to improve his business, not create it." I thought you were gonna talk about Alex Hormozi 😄

Great article! Already found the book on audible and I'll give it a shot

Oh yeah, Hormozi is like that as well! They're similar to each other tbh, but I like Priestley's stuff more because it's more "organized." He has principles, frameworks, and ideas that resonates more with me. Give him a try and tell me what you think!

This is pretty cool writing.

It reminds of Seth Godin who talks about identifying the smallest viable audience and serving them.

No. 1 is the one I'm still trying to sort out about myself. Hopefully we can discuss it once we have a conversation 🙂

Let's make sure we discuss it, it's a pretty interesting conversation to have. And I haven't looked much into Seth Godin, but I see his name pop up everywhere on Substack. I'll be sure to give him a look as well.

I've been fascinated with this idea since he first expressed it. The impression I got from social media is that you need big numbers to succeed, but he suggested that you need the right number, which could be very few, if you are specific about yourself.

He recently published a book so there are new interviews. Here is one.
