We’re here! Issue #200 of the Unstuck Newsletter!
This newsletter debuted on August 30th, 2022. That’s almost 4 years ago, and we haven’t missed a single week since.
In internet years, 4 years is an eternity, and although nothing is broken, it’s time we make a change. I’m here today to tell you about it.

Story of the Week
Why the change?
This has less to do with the fact that we’re at issue #200, and more with the idea that we’re in a new era of SPI right now, centered around building SUPERFANS.
Our community is modeled after the SUPERFANS SYSTEM, helping creators go from just getting discovered (increasing reach), to building loyal fans that can take a business to new heights (increasing depth).
The response from the SPI Community members about this new direction and model has been nothing short of outstanding. The community is more lively than ever!
As a result, we’re updating the newsletter to reflect the same kind of direction.
Superfans is where it’s at.
Next week, you’ll get the first edition of our new newsletter, Superfans Secrets.
New name, yay!
And you don’t have to do anything but open the email and enjoy the new content, again, centered around increasing your reach and deepening the connection you have with your audience.
We want to give you actionable content. We want to give you case studies and examples, so you too can follow the lead, and build a successful business the right way — by serving people and giving your audience a place to belong.
I can’t thank you enough for all of the support over the years with this newsletter. I read through all of the responses that come through, and I can’t wait to see how the new direction serves you and your career.
I appreciate you being here, and look out for next week’s email when it drops. Same day, same goals, new direction. Here we go! The team and I couldn’t be more excited!
