Deep dives
Transition to Weekly Founder Finds Content
Moving from weekly reports to biweekly reports created a gap filled by lighter content formats, leading to the creation of the weekly Founder Finds content. This shift to quicker content creation allowed for a faster turnaround in content production compared to the longer monthly reports, enabling a mix of content types.
Building a Community and Mastermind Network
Emphasizing quality content creation and engagement, Drew focuses on building a community through newsletters and mastermind groups. With ambitions to reach 3 million engaged email subscribers and expand a network of active mastermind members, the goal is to drive deep engagement and transformative experiences.
Developing Effective Habits and Routines
Establishing habits like meditation, cold showers, and journaling has significantly impacted Drew's productivity and mental well-being. The elimination versus moderation approach to habits, such as alcohol consumption, highlights the effectiveness of eliminating triggers rather than trying to moderate behavior, leading to enhanced productivity and health benefits.
