it's been a while, friend - hello


Happy Sunday fam -

Its been a minute since I've come here and just shared some thoughts. Well, lets do it. I have a lot to update you all on.

Update #1: I just finished a 10-day smoothie fast. No sugar. No processed foods. Nothing but green smoothies and some boiled eggs, fruit, or raw nuts if I got hungry.

Why did I do this?


Because I was ready to unlock another version of myself. We kicked off Brick By Brick and I've been blessed to work hands on with 15 founders to help them build their personal brands, and I knew they deserved the best version of me possible. So I did the fast, and I've been feeling great.


I can't require other folks to do hard things when I shy away from hard things -- so we did a hard thing and I loved it.


Update #2: We're rebranding our agency. This has been another one of those ideas that I've been slowly baking for a few months, but its coming into furition. I'll keep you all updated on this. We plan to do the rollout October 1st and I'm beyond excited.


Update #3: As you all know, Brick by Brick sold out in 1 day from one post. This was back in June. We are working with 15 AMAZING folks, and they already have some wild wins already (more on that later this week).

If you want to get on the waitlist for our next cohort (Sept/Oct) just click this link. This isn't some marketing ploy - I will not go over our capacity and this will sell out again.



Update #4: I've been researching and writing a lot - a lot of my focus recently has been challenging my beliefs on capitalism and the part it plays in liberation (or lack thereof).

I constantly find myself challenging the ways I show up in this world and if they are aligned with the things I say I'm passionate about or if it is doing more harm than good. I think its a good exercise to stop and reflect - notice if you are playing the game to only advance yourself, or are you doing it to advance the collective?

*deep*

Well, with that my friends, I'm obsessing over Substack these days so please share your favorite articles / authors over there.

Here's some essays I've enjoyed reading lately:

The Death Of Partying

If GLP-1 Drugs Are Good For Everything, Should We All Be on Them?

Consumerism And Jubilee

Compression Culture Is Making You Stupid And Uninteresting

Thats that for this Sunday. But as always, you know I like to interact -- so tell me:

Whats been something interesting you've read lately? A book rec. A thread. A substack.

Lets get back to reading! Researching! And some really good, deep convos and reflections.

Tired of the doomscroll and brain rot cycles.

Sending you love and light this Sunday!

Kasey

P.S. If you haven't seen, I've been pushing out some good things on YouTube and recently did this break down on Emma Grede. Enjoy

Hey there - I just dropped a video about Ashton Hall - the fitness influencer who's got everyone talking about his "cringe" morning routine. You know the one... Banana peels on his face. Ice water dunks. Saratoga water product placements. But while everyone's busy laughing at him, I'm looking at his numbers: → 9 million Instagram followers → 5 million TikTok followers → 3 million YouTube subscribers → $250,000 monthly income (and growing) That's more than most doctors and lawyers combined....

Holy cow - Something wild happened... Last week, I accidentally broke LinkedIn (in the best way possible) after grinding out content for a full year. The results? Mind-blowing: 7M organic impressions (not a typo!) 6,000 new followers overnight My DMs are EXPLODING with interview requests My calendar is packed with dream clients Want to know the wild part? That viral post only took 45 minutes to write (with a little AI sauce). I just recorded a behind-the-scenes video showing EXACTLY how I...

66 days. 66 days to lock in on that one goal you have and make it happen. This isn't one of those fear-mongering emails. It's a quick reminder to let you know that you have the PERFECT amount of time left to win this year still. ~70 days is the perfect amount of time to change your life. But only focus on ONE THING. What's that ONE thing you want to accomplish this year? Weight loss? Lock in on that diet and workout TODAY. Financial goal? Lock in on that budget and increase your income TODAY....
