Have you ever wanted to document your journey in real-time, but struggled to find the right platform to do it? 

Instead of hiding the process in spreadsheets or behind-the-scenes Google docs documents, I chose to build in public and Substack was the perfect home for it.

In this episode, I’m taking you behind the scenes of my new experiment: using Substack not only to document my business journey, but also to explore whether it can be a real discovery and visibility engine for entrepreneurs. 

I’ll walk you through why I chose Substack over other platforms, how it compares to traditional email service providers, and what I’m actually sharing in my paid behind-the-scenes newsletter. 

Whether you’re Substack-curious or just want a better way to connect with your audience, this episode gives you a real-world case study in action.

What You’ll Learn:

  • Why I started the $1M HobbyScool experiment and chose to document it publicly
  • The two-part reason I decided Substack was the perfect platform for this journey
  • How Substack differs from tools like Kit, ActiveCampaign, and Flowdesk
  • What I’m sharing inside my paid Substack newsletter (hint: it’s the messy middle)
  • The truth about Substack’s content guidelines—and what that means for your offers
  • How to use Substack without replacing your email provider
  • My key takeaways if you’re thinking about using Substack for your business

If you’re wondering how Substack might fit into your business or how to share more of your real-time journey without burning out, I think you’ll love this conversation.
