Transcript

It took me so long to find out there's an industry standard copywriting and marketing book from like 100 years ago that costs $500. It's rare that like people gatekeep. So I am going to be like one of the first people to ungatekeep it. There's a PDF online for it. It's called Breakthrough Advertising. Apparently it's like the marketer's Bible. This was back in the day when they had typewriters, but it still applies to marketing. I'm going to be training Claude on it inside of my community as well. I'm going to be pretty much just studying this for the next month.
