Over the next three days…
Â
Tylene and I are hosting a dozen entrepreneurs on our farm for the very first ever Return to Real Mastermind Experience…
Â
And because we’re in the middle of making final preparations leading to the welcome dinner tonight…
Â
(Including tidying up the room you see here…)
Â
Today’s newsletter is going to be short.
Â
But…
Â
After wrapping up a VIP Day with a private client on the farm yesterday…
Â
AND…
Â
After connecting with no fewer than 5 additional private clients via Slack earlier today…
Â
I’m seeing a surprising trend taking shape in the market right now…
Â
And there’s something I wanted to throw out to you before I completely get consumed in Farm Mastermind Mode…
A rare Richard Cussons photo sighting! (Richard, my business partner, staying with us on the farm for a few days to help lead the mastermind, is saying hello to a few of the more curious members of our herd :-)
1 | Would You Be Interested In....
As I mentioned a moment ago…
Â
I’ve started to see a trend taking place over the last few months…
Â
Something I never would’ve predicted a year ago at this time:
Â
For the first time in over 18 months…
Â
I’m actually starting to see paid media costs coming back to earth – with CPAs on Meta among some of the lowest I’ve seen in over a year.
Â
And I think this is a function of a few different forces at play right now.
Â
(I have a theory. And there are some potentially MAJOR implications…)
Â
Now…
Â
Last year, as you may remember – I hosted a Town Hall event titled:
Â
“The Great Sea Change: Why the Digital Marketing Playbook of the Last Decade is Obsolete (& What to Focus On Doing Next…)”
Â
But now I’m seeing a DIFFERENT shift take place in the market…
Â
(Something I don’t think many people are aware of yet…)
Â
So I’ve been thinking:
Â
Maybe it’s time for another Town Hall ??
Â
Which brings me to my question for you today:
Â
IF I make time to host a Town Hall event in the coming weeks…
Â
Sharing some of the surprising observations I’m seeing show up in the market…
Â
(And the and opportunity I believe this presents…)
Â
Would you be interested in attending?
Â
If the answer is YES…
Â
Please do me a favor and SHOOT ME AN EMAIL with the words TOWN HALL.
Â
The reason I ask you to do this is because…
Â
Between the farm…
Â
Serving as a strategic advisor to nearly a dozen clients right now…
Â
Finishing my book, Return to Real…
Â
Running my high-level mastermind...
Â
And now serving as soccer coach to both of my boys’ teams this fall…
Â
I’m getting close to being maxed out.
Â
But…
Â
If there’s enough interest…
Â
I will make the time to host a Town Hall event to share what I’m seeing in the market…
Â
Because I think this could be BIG.
Â
Let me know if you’d be interested in this by sending me an email with the words “TOWN HALL” to help me gauge interest.
Â
Make sense?
Â
Okay cool.
Â
In the the meantime, since today’s issue is a bit lighter than usual…
2 | I Have A Little "Gift" For You...
Last month, I announced that we quietly launched The Digital Contrarian podcast…
Â
(Thank you to everyone who has taken time to leave a review on Apple Podcast and Spotify…)
Â
Well TODAY…
Â
I’m excited to announce that all past “episodes” of The Digital Contrarian Podcast are now uploaded onto the website (with links to both audio and video format), in one convenient place:
And the reason why I share this with you…
Â
Is because this week represents a GREAT opportunity to catch up on everything you may have missed over the last few weeks…
Â
In fact, this is what Jason – a TDC subscriber – wrote a few days ago:
(Thanks Jason!)
Â
I’ll leave you with the link so YOU can binge and catch up yourself:
Â
Â
(And BTW – if you feel compelled to leave a short review on Apple Podcast or Spotify, it would mean the absolute world to me.)
* * *
Okay, I’ll leave you with that for now…
Â
I really DO need to get back to prepping for our Vermont Farm Mastermind Experience – guests are arriving in less than an hour…
Â
So have a great rest of your weekend…
Â
Remember to hug the ones you love…
Â
And until next week,
Â
Ryan :-)
