The Real Deal Digest Issue No. 36 Estimated read time: 3-4 minutes Why helllloooooo!!! Welcome to the now monthly Real Deal Digest. For anyone new to my world, this thing started out weekly 2 years ago. Then it went biweekly.

It's the realistic move I have to make these days, which, conveniently, is this newsletter's...

The Real Deal Digest Issue No. 35 Estimated read time: 3-4 minutes When I think about the amount of money I've spent on courses, communities, cohorts, and one-off workshops or challenges, I want to throw up in my mouth a little. Not because they didn't provide insane value. Most of them ab-so-lutely did. Because before you (thought you) could go to AI to get all your answers to anything your heart desires... High-ticket courses were THE thing to grab if you wanted to up your game. I'm not...

And yes. There will be a bit more cursing than normal in this edition of The Real Deal Digest.
