5 key takeaways
- Tell better stories: Use courtroom-tested structures (the hero’s journey + a 5-step persuasive framework) to make listeners care.
- Context > content: Give AI the right context (audience, brief, constraints) so it generates usable ideas — not canned scripts.
- Newsjacking done right: React quickly to breaking news with unique perspective to get media attention and platform amplification.
- Substack as a growth engine: Repurpose audio, offer perks, and convert readers into paid subscribers — Mitch grew to ~15k subscribers by focusing there.
- Start small & consistent: Pick one medium, keep episodes short and topical, and prioritize joy — consistency beats complexity.
