Become an industry thought leader in 2026...


Reader,

Thought leadership has been a buzz word for YEARS.

Everyone on the internet calls themself a thought leader.

Instagram bios everywhere would lead one to believe that thought leadership is easy to establish.

But - it's not.

And, in the world of AI, truly understanding how to lead a market takes actual skill and strategy.

There is a process to follow.

One that actually establishes you as THE category leader in your industry.

This week, for our paid Substack members, I am doing a deep dive on category leadership and how to become a preeminent leader that everyone in your industry follows.

I am also hosting a bonus livestream for paid subscribers on the new sales framework (SACRED), which will serve as the foundation of my upcoming book.

I am breaking it all down for subscribers, A to Z!

If you want BOTH of those things, you can become a paid subscriber for only $10/month or $100/year or get access to all of that PLUS my monthly Substack growth and monetization reports every month as a founding member for only $180 for the year!

I am putting some of my absolute best IP over there - to help you sell and lead with integrity, faith, and a deep sense of calling.

This isn't stuff you can find other places.

So, if you haven't joined me, here's the link with all of the options!

Can't wait to see you over there!

How hope content has to be grounded in proof, not just feel-good quotes. But there's a third thing happening that I haven't talked about yet. And honestly? It might be the biggest offender when it comes to your content attracting LURKERS and FREEBIE seekers instead of buyers. Because it doesn't feel like a mistake... It feels like the RIGHT thing to do....

Reader, Last week, we talked about informational (How-To) content... This week, we are talking inspirational content, or what we call HOPE content.
