We've now unlocked a new perk. I'm working on a Legends directory next week and you'll have it in the new year to make ✨new business friends✨

Thanks to everyone who joined us this year. Cannot wait for what's to come.

I spent the last couple weeks reading 20+ Year in Reviews so I can say confidently that mine is good and detailed and worth reading if you're building the same kind of business as me OR if you wanna see what we're doing inside "Revenue Rulebreaker"

It costs all of $7/mo to become a paid subscriber

In the later half, I captured a bunch of my personal highs and lows for this year and the biggest lessons I'm taking into 2026
December 26, 2025 at 5:37 PM
I did a line by line revenue and expense breakdown with annotations
December 26, 2025 at 5:37 PM
I shared a bunch of photos, stories and wins from paid subscribers and all the rad stuff we pulled off this year
December 26, 2025 at 5:37 PM
I mapped out top sources for newsletter subscribers, web traffic and paid subscribers and talked a bit about why those are working and experimental channels that may pay off soon
December 26, 2025 at 5:37 PM
I run down my goals for 2025 and how I did against them.
December 26, 2025 at 5:37 PM
I did the review in two parts: first the business then me the operator.

It's different from last year's review which was about my creator career as a whole. It's just about the "Revenue Rulebreaker" universe aka my media brand and subscription.

My 2025 Year in Review is live!

This was my 6th year in business and my 1st year as a creator. I captured everything we did together, revenue, expenses, growth channels, goals, stories + more.

My 2025 year in review goes live tomorrow on YouTube and on my site.

You can only see the actual data and info if you're a paid subscriber. I run through my P&L, my growth channels, my paid subscribers, my sponsorships, my life and biggest lessons. It's pretty extensive

I get most of my Atlanta news from Hoodanchorye and until I started following him I had no idea how many cars were driving into buildings

POV you're a youtuber but you travel a lot so you turn whatever's around into gear

Adding this - this is the data from just this week's Outpost report. 3 people joined this week thanks to the welcome flow and I can see exactly which email they joined from.
December 22, 2025 at 5:42 PM
When you upgrade, you get a separate welcome page where you can share why you joined and if someone sent you (at least 25% of new paid subscribers are referred by someone)

This gives me great info to write them back and properly direct new subscribers to what or who they're looking for
December 22, 2025 at 5:34 PM
The 4th welcome email heads off the hesitation of "but not another subscription" and includes the last discount offer

Sent 2 months post subscribe - not even really a welcome email just sits with the welcome flow
December 22, 2025 at 5:34 PM
The 3rd welcome email shares why other people join the paid subscription and includes a smaller discount offer (the offer goes down the longer you wait)

Sent 1 month after sign up (I might make this faster now that I'm sending more newsletters)
December 22, 2025 at 5:34 PM
The 2nd welcome email lays out the mission behind this work and includes the same discount offer

(Sent 5 days later bc they would have received 1-2 newsletters in that time)
December 22, 2025 at 5:34 PM
The first welcome email reiterates a lot of what's on the welcome page and includes the same discount offer.

This is where Outpost comes in. The rest of this flow is set up with their Autoresponder under "Welcome flow"
