Hey John! This was a great read. My friend forwarded this to me and as someone who just started writing on Substack, I find this very inspiring. Haven't heard about Stan until now so I'll go check it out too. Excited to hear more, thanks for sharing!

Am a recording artist with a few tunes streaming. Is published music on iTunes and Spotify in the scope of the monetized content in your business model?

Hi George, I just discovered Stan as well. Why don’t you join Steven x Stan Challenge right now? It’s free and they sent small tasks fit you to do? Their service is quite good. You could just send an email to them directly.

Hi John, I keep seeing Stan Store pop up, so you’re getting front of the aisle placement, and your picks and shovels look top shelf. I enjoyed reading your newsletter and appreciate the monthly distribution (I think daily and weekly newsletters are creating bottlenecks and burnout, so a monthly release is refreshing). I agree with everything you said and can see that you have the visionary gift. Congrats on your current success and to much more to come!

Best regards,

John T.
