I’m a big fan of HubSpot’s blog, and while scrolling, I saw their 2024 Entrepreneurship Trends Report. What I highlighted was that, according to their survey, 70% of entrepreneurs started their businesses because they wanted to change their career or lifestyle. And even 45% of people became entrepreneurs because they wanted to be their own boss or escape the 9-5. Interesting stats, right? Indeed, almost everyone who reads this newsletter has that dream: being your own boss, building something meaningful, or creating a life of financial freedom. You might also want to start a business, or maybe you’re trying but aren’t sure what to do, where to find good ideas or even what steps to take.

The niche explosion happened, sure, but people still want to feel like they’re...
If you sell something men actually care about, whether that’s grooming, outdoor gear, hobby supplies, workwear, Pinterest probably wasn’t even on your radar. And I get it.

It’s been that way for as long as anyone can remember, so people just keep thinking that. But real life looks different right now, maybe a whole lot. Pinterest just put out their 2026 Men’s Trend...
There’s a version of the plan that sounds really good. You write blog posts. They rank on Google. People find you, some of them buy. It’s called content marketing, it’s been the go-to advice for ten years, and if you’ve been told to “just start a blog,” this is basically what they meant. Thing is, the math changed.
