The Harry Potter series, written by J.K. Rowling, follows the journey of Harry Potter, an orphan boy who discovers he is a wizard. The series spans seven novels, each corresponding to one year of Harry's life at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Harry, along with his best friends Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, navigates the magical world, confronts various challenges, and ultimately faces off against the dark wizard Lord Voldemort, who murdered Harry's parents and seeks to dominate the wizarding world. The series explores themes of friendship, love, and the struggle between good and evil.
The Art and Business of Online Writing by Nicolas Cole is a comprehensive guide for writers aiming to succeed in the digital age. The book emphasizes the importance of understanding the game of online writing, where writers compete for reader attention against various forms of media. Cole shares his personal toolkit of writing strategies, including the importance of data-driven feedback, choosing the right category for your content, and developing a consistent writing style. He also discusses how to create engaging headlines, structure posts effectively, and build a content roadmap. The book highlights the value of writing publicly to gain feedback, the benefits of ghostwriting, and how to turn online writing into more valuable assets such as books and paid newsletters. Cole's approach is rooted in his extensive experience as a viral columnist and his success on platforms like Quora and Medium.
In today's episode, I talk to Dickie Bush, a former BlackRock portfolio manager turned digital entrepreneur. Dickie co-founded Ship30For30, a cohort-based course which has helped over 10,000 students start writing, along with other writing ventures like Typeshare, Write With AI, and the Premium Ghostwriting Academy.
A former online gamer and captain of the Princeton football team, Dickie’s ability to transfer skills from seemingly unrelated past lives into his businesses has been incredible to watch. He currently sits at 370,000 followers on X, 57,000 on LinkedIn and just finished building his impressive YouTube studio called The Shipyard.
