ADVICE

Monetize Community Products First

  • Monetize the 'pebbles' (community products) early while keeping optionality for big 'boulder' clients later.
  • Gary suggests doubling down on smaller products now because profile growth makes boulders accessible later.
ADVICE

Use TikTok Live To Keep Getting New Viewers

  • Use TikTok Live because it keeps sending new viewers and refines audience discovery over time.
  • Treat live streaming like QVC: refine, persist, and capture attention with micro-commitments.
ADVICE

Double Down On Unfiltered Authenticity

  • Be totally yourself on camera; authenticity is the only sustainable differentiator.
  • Gary says leaning into your full personality gives the biggest upside left to capture audience attention.
