Lessons from 8 years of Do You Even Blog
In this special 8th birthday episode of Do You Even Blog, I’m pulling back the curtain on the full journey—from the early “rise and grind” days of 2017, to burnout and pivots, to where things stand now in my unpredictable, messy, full-time creator life. I’ll share the behind-the-scenes story of how DYEB started, why I walked away (twice), what I’ve learned through niche sites, YouTube channels, SaaS experiments, and how chasing my version of success changed everything. If you’re a creator or entrepreneur searching for clarity, direction, or just a dose of real talk—you’ll want to hear this one.AI wrote that ☝️;)Want 1 roundup email of fun & useful resources for creators?
