Stop Playing the Short Game (Your Future Depends on This)

On today’s episode, we dig into why the long game is everything — and why most people quit before they see the real magic of their work unfold.

I share how starting my podcast in 2016 unknowingly became my “exit strategy” and why I believe long-form content—whether it’s a podcast, YouTube channel, or Substack — is the most powerful lever for true growth and change.

You’ll hear:

  • The hidden truth about building a body of work that no one talks about.
  • Why social media feels like fast food, and what actually feeds long-term growth.
  • The uncomfortable odds stacked against creators who dare to play the long game.
  • How my podcast turned into an evergreen archive that opened doors years later.
  • Why I’m drawn to rebels, rule-breakers, and independent thinkers—and how that ties into the long game.
  • The signs that a “slow media revolution” is already here (and what that means for creators like you).

If you’ve ever wondered whether it’s worth it to commit to a long-form project, this episode is the perspective shift you’ve been looking for.

Join me on Substack, join the conversation!

Mentioned on the episode...

  • Mack Collier who talks about writing and growing on Substack and this week shared his POV after 16 months in the game over there. Long game FTW!
  • This post and this post by Gary Vaynerchuk... I'm loving this POV and I hope it's true what he's predicting
