The Generalist still feels like it's just getting started. Momentum building.
🙏 750+ paying members
🎯 38,000+ subscribers
🔥 $160,000+ ARR
I learned a lot in Q2! Here are the highlights for supporters and other creators 👇
1.
If you want to dive straight into the deck, you can follow the link below, watch the video, or keep on scrolling...
2. Financials
Mixed results.
Bookings went down as I stopped accepting new sponsors. Churn also increased a little, but is still in a good spot.
But...
3. MRR
Still in a great spot here! I think we can push growth over the next quarter, but positive momentum.
4. Growth
The numbers are still in a good spot, but I would have liked to see more subscription growth.
I made some changes that had an impact here...
5. Changes
- Focused on paid pieces.
- Less active on RFS/S-1 Club.
- Summer?
6. Subscribers
Again, still feel largely happy here. Nice trajectory, but I would like to push a bit more.
7. Output
I went a bit nuts this quarter. The Generalist published more than 202K words.
That's a (big) book.
8. Depth
I think this was my best quarter of work. I'm really proud of some of these pieces.
9. Community
Still think this is the most valuable thing I've ever built. Can't totally explain what's so special about it, but working hypothesis...
10. Fun things
11. Hard things
The same goal. An infinite game 😊
Come hang with me and 38,000 of my closest friends 😉
(Even better: come hang out with the 360 smartest people I know in the Members community)
