Class Overview
The Mental Model That Changed My Career As A Thought Leader
In a world drowning in content, most creators are playing the wrong game entirely. While everyone else chases volume and quick wins, there's a counterintuitive approach that's been hiding in plain sight—one that transformed my articles from ignored afterthoughts to pieces that reached millions.
The fundamental shift happening right under our noses is this: the Internet isn't decentralizing attention as we've been told. It's actually concentrating it more than ever before, creating unprecedented opportunities for thought leaders who create ideas that get shared.
In our sixth AI Blockbuster session, I share the history of how I’ve applied the blockbuster mental model to my writing and how how AI creates an entirely new way to apply it.
During this class, we:
Discovered why the Internet creates blockbusters, not just niches
