TLDR: The key idea of the video is that building a successful newsletter requires grit, passion, a willingness to learn, hyper-focus, collaboration with successful individuals, and the ability to avoid distractions while creating valuable content for an audience. 00:00 📚 Tyler Denk, co-founder and CEO of Beehiiv, shares his journey of building a successful newsletter, emphasizing the importance of grit, passion, and a willingness to learn, as well as the support from his parents and surrounding himself with good people. 12:07 🔑 The key to building a successful business is hyper-focus, saying yes to valuable opportunities, and avoiding distractions, while also reaching out to successful individuals for collaboration and learning. 24:06 📈 Joining a small startup with a growing newsletter instead of a stable job, the speaker bet on themselves and implemented a referral program to grow the audience, utilizing a conversational and humorous approach to presenting business news and offering incentives for sharing the newsletter. 33:52 📝 The speaker, at 23 years old, had the opportunity to experiment and make important decisions in building and scaling a successful company, including building a custom CMS for their newsletter, independently managing and spending large amounts of money on paid acquisition, and learning the value of vision, leadership, and passion. 43:29 📧 Newsletters are still a valuable platform for building a loyal audience and trust, and companies can effectively use them to create content that interests their audience and leads to more sales. 55:48 📚 Morning Brew's success is attributed to their focused content, the speaker discusses their experience building a multi-million dollar newsletter and their decision to leave to pursue software opportunities, and the speaker gained valuable insights into product management at Google. 01:06:54 📝 The speaker explains the process of creating essential documents for building a successful project, discusses the importance of a structured process, shares their experience transitioning to KZbin, and highlights Beehiiv's custom-built software and decision to build a platform during the pandemic. 01:14:43 📧 The speaker discusses the process of building a multi-million dollar newsletter, including raising funds, generating revenue through software SAS and an ad network, and the challenges of advertising in email newsletters.

Thanks for this. I'm sure the video content is amazing but I just don't have the time to watch a full hour.

[@arewecrazyyet]

I like how he is a good grounded individual with no hatred for his parents and people over 35.

[@brycepalmer4942]

lol I had to stop listening after the 9th diss on his parents, which was within the first 12 minutes.

Thank you

[@BEBUSINESSCHANNEL]

brilliant interview

[@agi.kitchen]

tons of respect for this leader, he built the platform that hosts newsletters, though, not a particular newsletter?

[@Khoukharev]

Beehiive is a platform, Morning Brew where he is essentially a CTO is a newsletter. So to an extent he has done both, I guess

[@agi.kitchen]

@@Khoukharev well he didnt get rich off morning brew, where he wrote the newsletters, he got rich building the platform, where people write newsletters... kinda picky but i am really passionate about ppl understanding what it means to own digital real estate. Writing a successful newsletter using a platform doesnt mean you own digital real estate, the real gold there is owning the platform. Your own brand, yes that is your own gold, but because I am coming from physical real estate and years in software, I think I have a deeper grasp of what it means in the long game. NOT to discredit this video, I think it was really awesome and one of my best I have ever seen on how to learn off someone else's dollar then go make a bunch of dollars. For sure top notch interview

[@airesearchs]

Lol! 16:24 I thought that was real tv 💀

[@geory03]

It's very inspiring 😊 but do you need an editor for short video reels for more engaging audiences.

[@BehindtheBrand]

"Over index on grit" solid gold hiring strategy. Gotta be scrappy.

The naivete of being young and ambitious

[@BehindtheBrand]

thanks for watching

[@Connor_Sell]

Temper it with wisdom and it's a grand slam.

[@wealthpotion]

The naïveté is what allows entrepreneurs to take big swings. It’s a necessary ingredient.
