Most writers obsess over their words. Sahil Bloom did that too — but he also became curious about how words travel, and why they go viral, and the needs that other writers have. That’s because he came from the world of finance, not writing, and was able to apply a business lens to the sometimes-squishy world of content... and now runs a newsletter with 600,000 subscribers that brings in upwards of $70,000 a month, along with a network of businesses that serve other writers (and earn much more).

In a recent episode of the Jeff Fenster Show, Greg Reid, a successful author, movie writer, and creator of Secret Knock, shared his remarkable journey of triumphing over poverty and defying his father's discouragement. Reid's story serves as a testament to the power of taking immediate and decisive action, inspiring listeners to do the same. One of the key lessons Reid imparts is the importance of teaching children essential life skills. He believes that equipping them with effective communication, negotiation, and personal finance skills is crucial for their future success. Reid acknowledges that video games, often seen as a distraction, can actually be viewed as a different form of equipment for children today, providing them with valuable problem-solving and strategic thinking abilities.  Reid's success can be attributed to his focus on strategic activity and aligning himself with the right people. He emphasizes the significance of making intentional decisions and taking purposeful steps towards achieving goals. By surrounding himself with individuals who share his vision and values, Reid has been able to create a network of support that has propelled him forward.  One of Reid's notable achievements is the creation of Secret Knock, an exclusive event that has been running for 17 years. This gathering brings together influential individuals from various fields, including notable guests such as Edward Snowden and Vicente Fox. Secret Knock exemplifies the power of creating unique experiences and leaving a lasting legacy for future generations.
