Creator Expertise: Learn Faster by Teaching What You Know — The Diary of a CEO27 Feb 202600:18:34

In this episode, I'm diving into The Diary of a CEO: The 33 Laws of Business and Life by Steven Bartlett, specifically Law 2: To Master it, you must create an obligation to teach it. Steven is not only the author of this insightful book but also the host of the wildly popular Diary of a CEO podcast, where he interviews some of the world's most successful entrepreneurs, athletes, and thought leaders. Law 2 offers powerful lessons on articulating what you learn, and I'm breaking down the key takeaways, sharing my personal reflections, and exploring how these principles apply to our everyday creators.

Purposeful Business: Say No to Good Opportunities — Rewrite Your Rules26 Feb 202600:34:06

Today, I'm diving into Rewrite Your Rules by Morgan DeBaun, the brilliant CEO and founder of Blavity. If you've been following the show a while, you'll remember that I featured Morgan in last year's February/Black History Month daily podcast challenge (linked below). Since then, I've been following her newsletter on Substack, and it's been such a joy to read her perspectives and learnings as she leads one of the most important media companies focused on Black culture and millennials.

In this chapter, A Purposeful Life: Simple, Not Easy, Morgan breaks down what it really means to live with purpose. The title says it all—living purposefully is simple in concept, but it's definitely not easy in practice. Purpose isn't something you find once and you're done—it's something you continuously refine and recommit to. The simplicity comes from knowing what matters most to you; the difficulty comes from actually making the hard choices to align your life with those values. Morgan shares personal stories about pivotal moments in building Blavity and how she had to make tough decisions that didn't always feel comfortable but were aligned with her purpose. Living purposefully often means saying no to good opportunities so you can say yes to the right ones

What really resonated with me is how Morgan emphasizes that you don't need to have everything figured out. You just need to be intentional about the direction you're moving in and be willing to course-correct along the way. If you're an entrepreneur, a creative, or anyone trying to build something meaningful, this chapter (and this whole book) is a must-read.

Creator Careers: When One Failed Dream Reveals Another — Successful Failure⁠25 Feb 202600:12:35

In this episode, I'm diving into Successful Failure by Kevin Fredericks (KevOnStage), specifically the chapter "Where Hoop Dreams Go to Die." Successful Failure by Kevin Fredericks is a New York Times bestseller that explores how flops, failures, and detours can actually pave the way to real success. Kevin shares his journey with humor and honesty, making it a must-read for anyone who's ever felt like they've "failed" at their original dream. The chapter chronicles the start of his personal journey from aspiring athlete to finding his true calling in comedy and content creation. He shares the pressure of athletic expectations and the identity crisis that can follow when those paths close. The skills and discipline from pursuing one dream can transfer to another path in surprising ways. We can debate if KevOnStage is funny all day, but we can’t deny that he is an incredible storyteller.

I read a chapter of Tiny Experiments by Anne-Laure le Cunff for you (business book)24 Feb 202600:24:57

In this episode, I'm diving into Tiny Experiments by Anne-Laure Le Cunff, specifically exploring the chapter titled "Why Goal Setting is Broken." Anne-Laure Le Cunff is the brilliant mind behind Ness Labs, a newsletter with over 100,000 readers. Her work focuses on mindful productivity, creative thinking, and evidence-based strategies for personal growth. In this chapter, Anne-Laure challenges the traditional approach to goal setting and offers a refreshing alternative that emphasizes experimentation over rigid objectives. Her approach to productivity and personal development is both research-backed and refreshingly human.

Customer Experience: Create Moments People Never Forget — Unreasonable Hospitality⁠24 Feb 202600:27:15

In this episode, I dive into Chapter 2 of Unreasonable Hospitality by Will Guidara, a book that's been on my radar since I first spotted it in a coworking space in Mobile, Alabama. This chapter explores the foundation of creating exceptional experiences and the philosophy behind going above and beyond in hospitality. Will Guidara's insights aren't just for restaurant owners—they apply to anyone looking to elevate their craft, build meaningful connections, and create experiences that people remember long after they've left.

Personal Growth: Everything We Got Wrong About Happiness — The New Happy22 Feb 202600:25:22

In this episode, I'm diving into The New Happy by Stephanie Harrison and sharing my thoughts on the chapter "How We Got It All So Wrong." I first discovered Stephanie's work through her brand, The New Happy, which features vibrant and colorful illustrations that beautifully capture emotions like happiness, anxiety, and doubt. Her visual approach to complex feelings really resonated with me, so I was excited to explore her book. Stephanie Harrison's work stood out to me because she combines research-backed insights with accessible, beautiful visuals that make complex psychological concepts easy to understand. The New Happy isn't just about feeling good—it's about redefining what happiness means in our lives.

In this chapter, Stephanie explores how our modern understanding of happiness has been shaped by cultural narratives that often miss the mark. She challenges conventional wisdom about what makes us truly happy and offers fresh perspectives on building a more meaningful life. What are your thoughts on happiness?

Meaningful Work: When Finding Your Purpose Becomes a Trap — The Pathless Path21 Feb 202600:17:37

In this episode, I dive into The Pathless Path by Paul Millerd, exploring two powerful chapters that challenge conventional thinking about work and purpose: The Trap of Meaningful Work and We Want to be Useful. Can the pursuit of "meaningful work" become a trap that keeps us stuck? Paul Millerd challenges the assumption that we need to find the perfect career that aligns with our purpose, and instead offers a different perspective on how to think about work and fulfillment. The second chapter examines our deep-seated desire to be useful and how it shapes our relationship with work. Paul Millerd discusses how this drive can both motivate and limit us, and what it means to redefine usefulness on our own terms.

Business Storytelling: Lead With Stories People Remember — Super Skill20 Feb 202600:26:20

In this episode, I'm diving into Super Skill by Joe Lazer, specifically the chapter titled "Lead Through Stories." Stories are one of the most effective tools for leaders to communicate vision, values, and lessons in a way that resonates emotionally with their team. Unlike facts and data alone, stories create memorable narratives that people can connect with on a personal level, making complex ideas easier to understand and remember. Sharing authentic stories—including challenges and failures—helps leaders build deeper trust and rapport with their teams. Every leader should develop a repertoire of stories that illustrate their core principles and the behaviors they want to model (yes, even solopreneurs and solo creators). This chapter reminded me that leadership isn't just about directives and strategy—it's about connection. The stories we tell shape how people understand our vision and motivate them to take action. I'm thinking about what stories from my own experience I can share more intentionally to inspire and guide others.

Customer Experience: Break the Rules and Build Loyal Fans — Banana Ball⁠ ⁠​19 Feb 202600:36:33

In this episode, I dive into Jesse Cole's "Banana Ball" and explore the chapter titled "Changing the Game." This chapter reveals how Jesse Cole revolutionized baseball by challenging traditional norms and creating an entertainment experience that puts fans first. The Savannah Bananas didn't just tweak baseball—they reimagined it entirely. He prioritized creating memorable experiences over preserving conventional baseball traditions. Every decision was made by asking "What would make this more fun for fans?" rather than "How has this always been done?" In this chapter, he shares stories of trying wild ideas that other teams would never consider—and how those risks paid off in building a devoted fanbase.

Questions to Consider
  • What "rules" in your industry are actually just assumptions that could be challenged?
  • How can you prioritize your audience's experience over industry conventions?
  • What would your work look like if you optimized for delight instead of efficiency?

Sustainable Productivity: Do Fewer Things Exceptionally Well — Slow Productivity⁠ ⁠​18 Feb 202600:50:30

In this episode, I dive into Cal Newport's Slow Productivity, focusing on the chapter titled "Obsess Over Quality." This chapter explores how a relentless focus on producing high-quality work can be more sustainable and fulfilling than simply working to make more money. In this chapter, Cal Newport argues that obsessing over the quality of your output naturally slows down your pace but leads to better, more meaningful results. Adopting a craftsperson's approach to your work—where excellence is the primary goal—can reduce burnout and increase satisfaction. By concentrating on fewer projects but executing them exceptionally well, you build a reputation and create work that stands the test of time. Quality work takes time. Embracing the slower pace as a feature, not a bug, of sustainable productivity.

This chapter resonated with me as a reminder that constantly churning out content or projects isn't always the answer. Sometimes, the most productive thing we can do is slow down and ensure what we're creating truly matters.

Founder Resilience: Rebuilding After Your Business Burns Down — I Hope You Fail17 Feb 202600:25:42

Welcome back to the Book Club! Today I'm diving into I Hope You Fail by Pinky Cole, specifically the chapter titled "I Hope Your Business Burns Down." In this powerful chapter, Pinky Cole shares the story of when her first restaurant literally burned down—and how that devastating loss became the foundation for building Slutty Vegan, one of the most talked-about plant-based restaurant chains in the country.

Career Growth: Why Investing in Yourself Pays Off — The Memo⁠ ⁠​16 Feb 202600:24:55

In this episode, I dive into Minda Harts' powerful book The Memo, specifically exploring the chapter "Invest in Yo'self." This chapter is a call to action for women of color to prioritize their own growth, well-being, and career development. Self-investment is non-negotiable and professional development will pay dividends in your career. Your mental and physical health are investments too! What's one area of your life or career where you've been hesitant to invest in yourself? How can you reframe self-investment as a strategic career move rather than an indulgence?

  • Side projects and hobbies are important: They're where experimentation happens and where your best ideas often emerge..
  • Geography is no longer our master: The internet has made it possible to find and connect with your creative tribe, no matter where you are.
  • Creativity is subtraction: Constraints and limitations can actually enhance creativity by forcing you to focus on what matters most.

Who Should Read This
  • Anyone feeling creatively blocked or unsure where to start
  • Artists, writers, podcasters, and makers of all kinds
  • People who want a fresh perspective on creativity and influence

Creator Careers: Turning YouTube Into a Dream Job — Binge12 Feb 202600:37:37

In this episode, I'm diving into Binge by Tyler Oakley, the memoir from one of YouTube's most iconic creators. I focused on three chapters with stories and topics that really stood out to me:

Startup Strategy: How Airbnb Bootstrapped a Global Brand — How I Built This⁠ ⁠​08 Feb 202600:31:52

In this episode, I'm diving into How I Built This by Guy Raz, exploring the incredible story of how Airbnb's cofounders bootstrapped their way to building one of the most recognizable brands in the world. I focused on the chapter detailing Airbnb's early days—when Brian Chesky, Joe Gebbia, and Nathan Blecharczyk were struggling to pay rent and came up with the wild idea of renting out air mattresses in their apartment. This chapter brilliantly captures the scrappy, resourceful spirit of bootstrapping and the power of solving your own problem.

Guy Raz has mastered the art of the interview-based podcast, and this book is a perfect example of how that format can be repurposed into compelling long-form content. Each chapter reads like a conversation (if a little jargon-heavy)—accessible, engaging, and full of practical wisdom from entrepreneurs who've been in the trenches. It's proof that great storytelling transcends medium.

I read some excerpts from Chapter 3, Opposite Strategy, and the differences and overlaps between The Job (business) and the Gift (creative).

Creator Ethics: When Your Values Conflict With Your Platform — Opinions⁠ ⁠​04 Feb 202600:25:04

In this episode, I'm diving into Opinions by Roxanne Gay—a collection of essays that challenges us to think critically about the world around us. Opinions doesn't shy away from complexity—it embraces it, giving us permission to hold nuanced views in a world that often demands binary thinking. This book challenged me to think more carefully about my own choices—from the platforms I support to how I define success. If you're looking for thought-provoking commentary that will make you pause and reconsider, Opinions delivers. I focused on three powerful sections that really resonated with me.

  • Why she took her podcast and archive off of Spotify
  • Can We Separate Art from Artist?
  • Your Job Matters, But It's Not Everything

Creator Business: Make Money Without Selling Out — Show Your Work01 Feb 202600:14:10

In this episode, I dive into Chapter 9 of Show Your Work by Austin Kleon, titled "Sell Out."

Key Takeaways from Chapter 9: "Sell Out"
  • Keep your day job: Kleon emphasizes that having a stable income allows you to create freely without the pressure of monetizing everything immediately.
  • Don't be afraid to charge for your work: When you're ready, it's okay to ask for compensation. Your work has value, and selling it doesn't make you a sellout.
  • Stay true to your mission: Selling out only happens when you abandon your principles or compromise your artistic integrity for money. If you're staying authentic, you're not selling out.
  • Find ways to support your craft: Whether through freelancing, crowdfunding, or other creative revenue streams, look for opportunities that align with your values.
  • Be entrepreneurial: Embrace the business side of creativity. Learn about pricing, marketing, and building sustainable income streams around your work.

My Thoughts

This chapter really resonated with me as a creator navigating the balance between sharing freely and building a sustainable business. Kleon's permission to charge for our work while staying authentic is refreshing—it's not about selling out, it's about valuing what we create.

What's Next?

Tomorrow, I'll be reading a chapter from Sponsor Magnet by Justin Moore. Stay tuned!
