264: Dickie Bush — Harness the Power of Digital Writing

Dickie Bush (@dickiebush) discusses Ship 30 for 30, a movement he started to transform writing from a solitary to a communal activity, now a structured course. Along with Nicholas Cole, their partnership propelled Ship 30 to new heights. They emphasize the role of community and social media like Twitter in refining ideas and building credibility. Our discussion contrasts digital and traditional writing, explores content creation challenges like imposter syndrome, and shares tips for resonating content creation. We dive into the software and media realms, highlighting the value of small iterations and immediate feedback in product creation. We touch on the promise of dictation software and delve into Dickie's personal inspiration, his mom, who's not only influenced his journey but also become a cherished figure in the Ship 30 community.Dickie on Twitter: https://twitter.com/dickiebushShip 30 for 30: https://www.ship30for30.com/00:00:00 Modern Writing00:05:37 Start Writing Community, Overcome Challenges00:12:56 Test and Refine Ideas With Twitter00:16:59 Content Creation and Imposter Syndrome00:26:53 Writing for Personal Growth and Teaching00:37:29 Building Software for Publishing Atomic Essays00:40:58 Ship30 and Writing Ventures00:51:21 Discussion on Writing and Publishing BooksThis episode is sponsored by Acquire.comThe blog post: https://thebootstrappedfounder.com/dickie-bush-the-power-of-digital-writing/The podcast episode: https://share.transistor.fm/s/f6d25fb5The video: https://youtu.be/GiDmVoHwE-QYou'll find my weekly article on my blog: https://thebootstrappedfounder.comPodcast: https://thebootstrappedfounder.com/podcastNewsletter: https://thebootstrappedfounder.com/newsletterMy book Zero to Sold: https://zerotosold.com/My book The Embedded Entrepreneur: https://embeddedentrepreneur.com/My course Find Your Following: https://findyourfollowing.comHere are a few tools I use.
