The 5 Hills I Would Die On

I’ve recently started sharing a my core business philosophy and beliefs in a 5 day sequence for someone when they subscribe to The Golden Thread newsletter.

It’s a 5-day sequence where I walk through the beliefs that drive everything I share with you:

  • The 5 hills I would die on as a business owner
  • Why alignment beats hustle (with examples)
  • How the leader becomes the biggest lever
  • Real transformations from strategy and systems
  • The opportunity cost of not having a trusted advisor

I haven’t shared this anywhere else, and I'd like to offer it to you now.

Honestly, it's more than an offer. I want you to have it.

This is what I'm about. You need to know.

Click here and I'll send the first email immediately.
(a thank you page will open, but the click did the job)

You'll receive one per day for 5 days, starting right away.

They're short (under 500 words) and build on each other.

Fair warning: I'm more direct than usual. I don't hide conviction very well. 😅

And if you’re willing, as you go through the sequence, I’d love to hear what you think. Just hit reply and let me know.

7 Lessons From Nick Nanton’s Creative Business Playbook

Entrepreneur, 22-time Emmy Award-winning Director/Producer, and master storyteller Nick Nanton shares a lifetime of lessons he's learned from practicing law, the entertainment industry, and entrepreneurship.

  1. Aim to be different, not just better, to escape crowded comparisons.
  2. Never ship without demand; distribution fails when you skip the marketing.
  3. Stop sitting in every seat; sketch the org chart and hire to it fast.
  4. Use “who, not how” to buy back time and accelerate outcomes.
  5. Embrace the tension of growth; you may feel both broke and limitless.
  6. Trade your unique leverage to access elite rooms and compound results.
  7. Protect your life with clear rules for travel, family, and focus.

For the stories, frameworks, and examples behind these ideas, listen to the full conversation with Nick Nanton.




Have a great rest of your week,
