In today's episode, I talk to Dickie Bush, a former BlackRock portfolio manager turned digital entrepreneur. Dickie co-founded Ship30For30, a cohort-based course which has helped over 10,000 students start writing, along with other writing ventures like Typeshare, Write With AI, and the Premium Ghostwriting Academy.

A former online gamer and captain of the Princeton football team, Dickie’s ability to transfer skills from seemingly unrelated past lives into his businesses has been incredible to watch. He currently sits at 370,000 followers on X, 57,000 on LinkedIn and just finished building his impressive YouTube studio called The Shipyard.

Today, we talk using 𝕏 as a way to refine your ideas, how to escape engagement prison, and the healthiest way to deal with changes to the algorithm.
