Since I flipped Chimp Essentials and folded MailNinja i've been on a journey... - Growing my personal brand - Launching a course - Building this community (thank you) - Recording 200 videos for a content library - Coaching some awesome people The thing I noticed is this The more I record videos and speak to coaching clients, the more I grow confidence – I know a heck of a lot, both in my own wheelhouse (email) and in business generally. I have tons of ideas and experience, and i've never really put it to good use, until now So, I decided to launch firestarter coaching, to help fellow founders and solopreneurs overcome problems, grow their brands, and soundboard ideas I'm not trying to pitch some super high ticket coaching program you need to bleed your bank account dry to afford, I am doing this on a pay-per-hour basis. When you need me, I'm here (at an affordable rate hehe) Your sessions will be - Totally private (I'll sign an NDA) - Recorded and summarised (with meeting notes) as a resource for you - I'll follow up with you a week later on your action points (accountability check-in) If you want to chat GTM strategy, plans, problems, mindset, motivation, or even to be a sounding board for your next big idea... I'm here for you! I'm even offering 50% off your session, so you can dive in and see if we're a good match without committing to anything! DM me if you're interested, I have a magic link! Why me? - Hired by Mailchimp to coach their top tier partners - Ran a niche marketing agency for 20 years - Hired, fired, scaled, pivoted and flipped! - Grown my own personal brand - Built an audience and following from zero - Pitched to a dragon (and failed)

The 4 Cs Flywheel is the game-changer for your business. 🚀 Content. Community. Commerce. Customers. That’s it. Four steps that don’t just work—they spin. It’s not some clunky, outdated funnel that drains your time and energy. It’s a flywheel—smooth, automated, and endlessly powerful. Here’s how it rolls: We start with content. That’s your spark, the thing that attracts eyeballs and gets people curious. Then, we move to community—building a loyal tribe who actually cares about what you do. From there, we roll into commerce. Your community supports your business, and your business feeds your community. It’s like a perfect circle of value. And lastly, customers—delivering results so good, they can’t stop talking about you. Guess what that does? Feeds right back into content. Boom. Endless growth cycle. 🔄 Unlike a funnel, which basically says, “Thanks for your money, see ya,” the flywheel keeps the momentum going. It builds relationships. Automates processes. Turns followers into superfans. This isn’t fluff. I’ve used it in my business, my clients’ businesses, and every time—it delivers. More customers. More community. More results. And now, I’m teaching it all in my community. Four lessons, one for each quadrant. Want in? Drop a comment or slide into my DMs. Simple. Effective. Transformative. Let’s spin this flywheel together. 💥 Access the new FREE flywheel course in the classroom NOW: https://www.skool.com/doug/classroom/d61b90be

do you opt in to CK's creator network and have them post recommendations for other newsletters after someone signs up? What are your thoughts on this and your experience if you do leverage this feature? I've never done so as it seems to potentially divert people away from your flow, and also potentially recommend email lists that don't fully align with your own?
