Knowledge isn’t power… anymore.
I don’t know if this story is true but for the sake of humanity, I hope it is.
Imagine living in a pre internet world where the only way to connect with your friends is to:
✧ Meet for coffee
✧ Write a cutesy letter
✧ Make a call on an archaic rotary phone (remember those?)
Around this time, a few future thinking nerds were working on something that not even the creator of Star Wars could imagine.
A futuristic digital space that would connect the world.
A place where information could flow freely between the masses.
Everyone would use it to stay up to date on the newest breakthroughs in technology, science, and ethics.
They imagined, the masses would use it to become smarter, more powerful and improve their lives.
But they thought wrong…
Fast forward to 2023, and its wide spread adoption is not what was predicted.
Instead of the internet being the harbinger of truth, we ended up with cat memes, poorly researched social posts, and polarizing hot takes.
The visionary science nerds used logic to create the internet, not realizing the masses would use emotion to fuel it.
They believed the age old tale, knowledge is power.
But everyone has access to the same knowledge.
Only 1% of people have power.
The internet kicked off the age of information.
An age predicated on people sharing MORE.
Everyone dumped their ideas online into a digital Alphaggeti soup.
Believing that knowledge is power.
But what the 1% know that 99% of people don’t is that leverage is power, not knowledge.
These 1% use the internet to:
✧ Gain global influence
✧ Improve the lives of others
✧ Create highly profitable businesses
It’s no longer about WHAT you know.
It’s about WHO you become when using what you know.
Think about it, everyone has access to the same knowledge.
Yet, only 1% of people leverage that knowledge to become a person of influence.
They test their knowledge in the world to find what is useful, then share their experiences with the world.
This is what I call the Age of Leverage.
An age run by Experiential Creators.
The creators who build unique Digital Identities by becoming influential magnets that the masses flock to for truth and entertainment.
Put simply, “how to” is out.
“How I” is in.
And “how I” content is only possible if you become a person of massive action.
Leading the charge against infinite amounts of bad information.
Curating what’s useful by testing it in the world.
This takes courage, guts, and being comfortable with failure.
But if you’re willing to take the leap, a life of high leverage and true power is possible for you.
That life is what I’m going to help the next wave of influential creators build.
Tomorrow is the launch date of my university level cohort experience.
↳ Your Digital Identity.
This is the official last chance to join the early access waitlist.
Reply “Digital Identity” to this email to do so.
I’m not one to hard sell so I’ll just attach pictures of the curriculum, systems, and guest masterclasses below.
If it’s for you, then let’s build yours together.
If not, please be patient with me. I’m going to be sending a lot of emails over the next 4 days.
Until next time,
