    @arvidkahl HAS to be an example on this. In our circles, I can't think of anybody else who went from "small" creator to leader, innovator and bestselling author in such a short period of time.

      Love this question.

      Maybe 🦄 Trends #0010 — Startup Studios

      I thought I wanted a startup studio before doing this report.

      What trends are you seeing?

    This is cool stuff. The deep fake issue is intriguing. I imagine there will be some kind of deep fake arms race where platforms which offer "verification" can rapidly build trust. Like the social media "check mark" X10

    Dru's Trends report is a must have in your inbox. You are just consistently delivering value brother. 👏🏼 Love it.

    My only feedback is people need to know about the Pro reports. Maybe promote it more!

    My Wife and I wanted to start building our personal brands - crazy how when you start to research and learn stuff just falls on your lap.

    Great post, although I could have lived without knowing about Colgate Lasagna

      Love hearing this. 😂 We're all better off without Colgate Lasagna.

      How did you and your Wife plan to leverage your brands?

        She’s a creative, so she works with YouTube but recently I’ve been building her a website for her to blog.

        I’ve decided to blog as well and try to share my ideas about fatherhood/development
