FROM THE EDITOR

So stop the presses! I think I finally figured out how to embed our Podcast into the newsletter. I’m not saying I’m a hero…but it was no small task. Let me know if you’re not able to view or listen to it below.

Last week we published a video to YouTube entitled Travis & Jason Kelce's New $100 Million Dollar New Heights Contract that performed amazingly:

We wrote about the Kelce brother’s looking to sign a $100 million dollar contract for their New Heights podcast in our August 8 newsletter issue. This is a great example of our philosophy of reutilizing our content across multiple forms of media, starting as an article in our weekly newsletter, then post it to our website as an article, then as a YouTube video, then as a future podcast, and lastly we blast everything out via socials. This strategy has been working, and each of our content mediums have seen growth in subscribers and followers.

So today I have a BIG ask for you our subscribers. I’d love if you could share today’s newsletter with your friends and family and ask them to subscriber to our newsletter.

And if you aren’t already a subscriber of our YouTube channel or Podcast it’s never too late to show your support.

Thanks!

Now onto today’s issue.
