Blockbuster Blueprint: Curation Stage (Index)
This page houses the articles I wrote that talk in more detail about the Stage 4 of the Blockbuster Blueprint.
I shared the core model in this article: Blockbuster Blueprint: The Most Comprehensive Map Of Thought Leadership (Based On Thousands Of Hours Of Development).
This stage is important because standing out online is super-hard. If you’re just pulling from your life experience, you’ll likely be outcompeted by people who complement their life experiences with the best of what humanity has figured out.
