The Startup Ideas Podcast
The 2026 Anti-Trend That Will Make Millions

And I was like, I am going to read this because it's going to be sitting on my desk.

The Startup Ideas Podcast
The 2026 Anti-Trend That Will Make Millions

I'm going to be using it as a reference thing.

And it just feels more valuable.

The Startup Ideas Podcast
The 2026 Anti-Trend That Will Make Millions

I feel like it's a more worthwhile thing because it's a big, heavy thing of playbooks that feels substantial.

If we think about what is actually better for the customer, for humans, when I'm thinking about it, I know that the in-person version of what we do is the absolute best way to do what we're teaching.

The best way to read that book is actually to get the physical version because it's like a little workbook, even though that's a pain in the ass for us to create and a pain in the ass for the client because they have to wait for it to arrive.

But I often feel like that's not very effective.

And so now when a client, for example, is also contacting us and saying, by the way, if you're listening to this client, I don't want you to stop doing this because this is awesome for our business.
