624: (Solo) How to Create More Than You Consume (Without Burning Out)
Most founders drown in content — YouTube, TikTok, newsletters, podcasts — but they rarely create anything themselves. And here’s the problem: consumption doesn’t build businesses; creation does.
In this episode, I share the practical systems and mindset shifts I’ve used to consistently create content for my personal brand and Foundr, even while running a company. From my “create before you consume” rule, to batching, to living by my notes, to repurposing frameworks, this is the exact approach that’s helped me create momentum without burning out.
Here’s what you’ll take away:
• The rule that changed everything: create before you consume
• How to build a simple content operating system using Notes, Notion, voice memos, and AI
• Why one piece of content can become dozens of assets across platforms
• How to capture ideas in real time instead of staring at a blank page
• The mindset shift: you don’t need to be a content machine — you just need to notice your life
If you apply this system in 2026, you’ll build leverage, authority, and opportunities that scrolling alone will never give you.
This is a brand new solo series I’m testing, and I’d love your feedback. Email me directly at [email protected] — I read every reply. Hope you enjoy it.
