Great podcast! Do you have any idea what’s the 90 day goal setting program name that Brian is using?
Great show.
One request, can you write the summery of whole show in 300 or less words?
That would be so helpful.
Thank you so much.
I have to start deleting pages, but too scared to”kill my darlings”
Very……Very informative show. Thx
Fan of both of you
Great Podcast Noah and Brian. Does Reese peanut butter cups count as a candy bar? Had a question about the deleting of pages. Is it better to just out right delete them or should you setup a no-index instead? Is there any case studies that show this tactic to actually work?
.. I’d have to say a toss up between Mars and Flake (only in Australia I think). What about you, Noah?
Good stuff. One thought: he was able to simplify his last launch and still do such beast numbers because he’s since created such a massive amount of authority and trust in this niche.
