• The early mistakes he made that would eventually shape his success

• How becoming an endurance athlete helped him to become a better creator and entrepreneur

• Some surprising revelations about his business partner(s)!… and how they all work so well as a team

• His philosophy behind “being a guide, not a guru”

• How anyone can monetise their knowledge, and the potential we all have, and what we need to do next in order to kick-start our online writing careers

• Why so many aspiring creators put limits on themselves, and how can we overcome them

• The real impact of AI on solopreneurs (and how to use it wisely)

• The bold two-year vision that he and his partners, Sinem and Philip, have for Write Build Scale and The Link, and how they intend to help their audience to excel in their own journeys
