The 8/10 Filter
Your list isn't full of bad ideas. That's the problem. Every item on it passed the same test, which is "will this move the needle?", and that question says yes to everything worth writing down. The 8/10 Filter adds the question that actually decides, which is whether you can be a consistent 8 out of 10 at something in week nine, when the novelty has gone and nobody is clapping. Four steps on two printable pages, plus the Drop, Delegate or Systematise diagnostic for when an idea fails, the One Thing Selector for what survives, and three AI prompts to paste into Claude or SAM. One of them is an honesty check to run before you commit to anything publicly, which is the mistake Matt made on this podcast in May. Fifteen minutes with your ten oldest ideas and you'll cross most of them out.

eCommerce Conversations with Laryssa Wirstiuk
Everyone suspects email is dead. Laryssa Wirstiuk, who has run email and SMS for a decade, says the channel is fine, it's the way we use it that's broken. In this episode she signs up to 360 brands and finds 44% never send the welcome offer they promised, explains why cutting a list from 20,000 to 1,500 saved a business, and shows why the emails people are actually waiting for aren't the ones you're focused on. Practical, honest and useful whether you send weekly or three times a day.
