Episode notes
Plan Backwards From Quarterly Destinations
- Set quarterly 'destinations' and map each to signals and content formats, then measure specific metrics per format.
- Grace uses goals like speaking, book deal, YouTube growth and aligns clips, cutdowns, and speaking clips to each.
Design A Content City From Why To Formats
- Build a content 'city' with Grand Central as your why, lines as signals, and stops as formats; schedule a timetable and review monthly.
- Grace details signals like credibility and formats like cutdowns and speaking clips to move audiences to destinations.
