Reflections on My 1st Week Away From Social Media
Description
Can you build a thriving solopreneur business without social media, funnels, or digital-marketing tricks?
In this candid pop-up broadcast, Scott shares what changed after deactivating LinkedIn and Instagram, stepping away from Facebook, and doubling down on Substack and a conversation-first client path.
You’ll hear the backstory of leaving a “successful” $10K/month funnel, rebuilding from scratch on Substack, and why a values-led, search-driven platform beats algorithm chasing for purpose-driven creators.
You’ll learn
* Why “profitable but miserable” isn’t a strategy—and how to redesign your work around life
* The Substack-first, funnel-free client path: Icebreaker → Diagnostic → Low-ticket traction → Ongoing coaching
* How leaving social platforms increased equanimity, focus, and creative output
* Why copy hacks, avatars, and launches underperform vs. principle-based service and data
* The mindset shift from selling to helping people choose their next step
