Why My Generation Is Flocking To Substack

About this episode

Katelyn James discusses her experience with Substack and why it appeals to her generation of entrepreneurs.

For the first time in a long time, I feel like I’m creating the way I did in the beginning of my business. In this episode, I’m sharing why I decided to write my book on Substack instead of going the traditional route… and why so many entrepreneurs from my generation are suddenly showing up there too. At first, I honestly didn’t understand the hype. I had just invested thousands into a beautiful new website, and the last thing I thought I needed was another platform to post content. But the more I started writing on Substack, the more I realized it was giving me something I hadn’t felt in a while: the freedom to simply create again. 📣 I'M WRITING A BOOK!
