Announcement: We're hosting a new event!

Audience Camp is a 3-day lakeside retreat in Asheville, North Carolina, designed for 6 & 7-figure+ media founders, operators, and creators.

This isn't your typical event, and that's by design.

Instead, we'll have:

💡 Interactive workshops with audience growth, monetization, and engagement experts

🔥 Outdoor adventures and fireside chats (with an actual fire and s’mores)

💭 A curated group of high-level thinkers (limited to 40 total attendees)

Our speakers and mentors include:

✅ Justin Moore (@justinmooretfam) - founder of Creator Wizard, world-renowned sponsorship coach, and author of Sponsor Magnet.

✅ Erika Burghardt, VP of Growth at 1440, marketing lead at the world’s fastest-growing newsletter (4.5M+ subscribers & 300k+ new subscribers per month)

✅ Katelyn Bourgoin (@KateBour), founder of Why We Buy, buyer psychology expert with 60k+ newsletter subscribers

✅ Daniel Bustamante, COO at Premium Ghostwriting Academy + Ship 30 For 30 ($7M+ in annual revenue)

✅ Ricci Wolman, founder & CEO at Written Word Media (1.5M+ newsletter subscribers and 12,000+ advertisers)

✅ Jason Woodruff, founder & CEO at The Pour Over (1M+ newsletter subscribers)

✅ And more speakers and attendees will be shared soon!

I’ll be presenting too, sharing the strategies that have driven 10M+ newsletter subscribers and $100M+ in sales for clients.

I'm stoked to bring together some of my favorite people in a beautiful outdoor environment where we can share our "ninja level shit".

Spoke at a newsletter conference.

There were about 15 ex Hustle employees there.

They now run agencies, media companies, or other businesses in the space. Many are now millionaires or pay themselves wonderfully and can spend time with their families.

I’m incredibly proud of what we did at The Hustle.

It wasn’t some big grandiose thing where we went to mars, but in our little media industry we pioneered a new way of doing stuff and made our own path that others now can follow.

I’m proud that we hired a bunch of wacky and smart 20 something’s and we all learned a bunch of shit together and have gone on to implement those skills and build their dream life.

Ok, mushy stuff over. But this was fun!

[New Media Summit @TheNMSummit]

We had a blast with you @stephsmithio!

Love that you were able to (re)connect with several communities and crews.

Good times all around at the event and afterward!
