Earlier this year, I was lucky enough to go to ABC News to talk about quitting my 9-to-5 to be a full-time content creator.

@dickiebush Creative work first is the one that's hardest to protect.

@thejustinwelsh Someone told me recently they'd been waiting 4 years on a promotion at the same company.

I told them, promote yourself and leave. It's sad, but even I fell into this comfortability trap in corporate.

If you want a new job in 90 days, do this on LinkedIn.

I made a Grok Bot that saves every win so your case studies write themselves.

Weekly, it checks your inbox, DMs and analytics.

→ Logs testimonials and metrics
→ Saves screenshots
→ Files it in one receipts doc

It never shares private messages publicly.

Building in public has levels.

Level 1: Share wins
Level 2: Share losses
Level 3: Share the process
Level 4: Share decisions
Level 5: Share financials
Level 6: Share doubts

Don't just share the wins, share the L's too.

Can't stop, won't stop.

Long video is coming to Instagram.

Features just started testing with select creators in the US.

Features are horizontal videos up to 90 minutes, built for podcasts, vlogs and interviews.

🎬 Features: widescreen uploads up to 90 minutes
✂️ Clips as Reels: link up to 8 Reels back to one long video
📺 Series: a home on your profile for episodic Reels
🛋️ Instagram for TV: now on Apple TV in the US
🔴 Live: testing discovery in the Reels tab for people who don't follow you yet

Who gets it: a small US test for now, after a test in Brazil. Series expands to more countries through the end of 2026, and Live discovery starts in Indonesia and Brazil.

The platform doesn't have a lot of horizontal videos, so I recommend brands and creators to begin testing 16X9 content. Even though you may not have the ability to post up to 90 minutes, the Explore page may pull in that horizontal content.
