Step 2: Identifying your unique, contrarian perspective– is such a critical piece. Your irreplaceable experiences, stories, and worldview is what draws people to your work. Well done, Sharyph!

I love this question "2. From “How do I grow fast?” → “How do I become worth discovering?” - flips the problem on the head, and helps make forward progress!

Really enjoyed how you framed the first month as identity work, not algorithm work. That’s a truth most skip.

I especially appreciate your clarity on “perfection → iteration.” My only wish? That more creators explored how AI can reshape creative identity, not just streamline it. There’s a deeper story there. One I hope we both keep exploring in our work.

So important to think about iteration over perfection!

Great resource! The cold start problem is real and daunting…I started here two months ago with no pre-existing email list and had no idea what to do next!

The 3 Actions ☝️ are so important - I find it such a challenge as my divergent brain is wired to run off campus 🤪 take intention/discipline. Thanks for sharing 🌞

Awesome breakdown! We can't get to step 10 without starting at step 1. It's impossible.
