Welcome to Season 2!

In the very first episode of the second season, I chat to Jamie Northrup about what it means to have a “minimalist” approach to writing, content creation and business growth.

Jamie’s built an audience of 7,000+ minimalist hustlers with a simple daily email strategy. He goes for quality over quantity in his mission to help writers and online business owners earn more by working on their own terms. If this sounds good to you (and why the heck wouldn’t it?), you’ll enjoy this episode for sure.
