Just Like Greg I love Focus Mode
by

Today we’re going to look at fleshing out a big research project I’ve been toying with for a few years.

Greg on Followers and Supporters
by
Greg talked about how supporters are far more valuable to creators than followers. The gist is that followers just read your stuff, supporters actually pay for it in some way.
