Today I'm joined by Haley from the Kit team for a Q&A where we answer your questions about building a creator business that lasts.

We explore everything from why major celebrities are suddenly launching newsletters to the practical choices creators face - like when to stay solo versus build a team, or whether to focus on high-ticket or low-ticket offers.

Plus, we share real examples from both sides of these decisions.
You'll learn how to make strategic choices that fit your goals, build sustainable systems that scale, and maintain balance while growing your business.
