My high school colors were orange.

My college colors were orange.

But I’ve never loved the color orange more than I have today.

Blessed are those that get to cheer for @PatrickMahomes and @BwittJr in the same era of Kansas City sports. 🙏

A Hallmark day for our organization, our city, and our community.

As cool as this parking lot is, an outfield would look cooler.

Just my two cents.

Build community.
Increase revenue.
Repeat.

[Rae 🍽️ @raechellambert]

I think most creators are playing the wrong game.

They’re trying to go global — chasing reach, virality, and followers they’ll never meet.

Meanwhile, some of the most interesting @beehiiv creators are doing the opposite.

They’re going local.

Building a few thousand subscribers in a single city.

Actually knowing their audience.

Turning that into real-world experiences — and real revenue.

We’ve seen creators:
– monetize with local sponsors
– host events that sell out
– build communities that actually show up

It’s a different playbook.

@getdnnr has partnered with @beehiiv to break it down into something practical:

The Local Newsletter Monetization Cookbook 😋

It’s a look at how a small group of creators are turning local audiences into real businesses — without needing to go viral.

Featuring real revenue numbers from Brian Skinner, Landon Huslig, Nick Hageman, Sam Harper. It lights a path to cracking $100k in annual revenue, all from your local audience.

If you’re building a newsletter, I’d spend 10 minutes on this.

Kansas City is getting its first 4DX auditorium at AMC Barrywoods 24.

Moving seats, water, snow, scent, wind, etc. all coordinated with the movie.

Reminds me of Shrek 4-D (RIP) from my family’s 2006 trip to Universal Studios.

If KC wants the Plaza to be a national tourism destination and not just our second nicest luxury mall, it should rebuild Brush Creek & Ward Pkwy into a cafe-lined riverwalk a la San Antonio.
