When Todd Brison began writing, he had a big goals, but ultimately he wound up following a two-step process: – Write a post – Pray for attention Later, when the internet matured and creators started getting paid to post, the process changed slightly. At that time, it looked like this: – Write a post – Pray for money The first half of that story led him to a world of scraping together a lot of tone-deaf half-truths for thirsty self-improvement seekers. The second half led him to take a few stabs at political writing, for no other reason than because it was popular at the time. He could not have cared less about politics, but he still chased down that cash cow. Somewhere in between drawn-out doses of dopamine from a string of fake attention metrics, he forgot a simple truth. You write because you have something to say. Now he’s on a mission to publish words that matter again.
