Read time: 3 min 48 sec

Whatup Reader!

Annnnd just like that it’s time for Mariah Carey to make eleventy billion dollars. Get them royalties, ma’am.

If you’re new here, I send these recap emails out on the last day of each month as a way to share the things that this awesome community has told me they’ve found helpful, and also to let you in on things that are coming your way in the next few months. I know you’re busy and I realize I put out a lot of content in a bunch of different places, so if you’re ever worried about missing anything, rest assured that the monthly recap will have all the important stuff in it.

Alright, let’s get into it!


From the ‘Gram:

Real talk, the election left me less-than-eager to be posting, so I didn’t force it. I leaned WAY more into writing, and if you didn’t have a chance to check out November’s Maestro Mail weekly emails, I’ll link them below for easy access. As for the posts, I did still manage to put out a few, and the fan faves are below. Click on any of the images to be taken to the full post.


From the Podcast:

As a reminder, this year I decided to switch things up and release only one new Maestro on the Mic podcast episode per week. I am however still also holding onto that Thursday spot and using it to re-publish a previously released episode, Thursday Throwback style. With over 600 episodes to choose from, it’s been awesome going into the “archives” and bringing back some bangers. I hope you enjoy the new stuff and the old stuff as much as I do.

Video versions of the new Monday podcast episodes are also available on YouTube for any of you who enjoy seeing just how animated I am when I speak ;-) Tap the links below to listen to my top picks from last month’s episodes or click the YouTube thumbnails to watch any of the Monday video podcast episodes on YouTube!

Thank you to everyone who has left a rating or review for the podcast, and thank you in advance to anyone who was just guilted into leaving one ;-) Psst, if you listen to/watch nothing else, please give MOTM #635: My Post-Election Reflections, a listen. That one meant a lot to me and I’m really proud of how it turned out.

PS – How dope are these thumbnail images?! Shoutout to @docjoeo for crushing it!


From the Biz:

I wasn’t bout that Black Friday life buuuuuuut I am bringing you 24 hours of Cyber Monday goodness. I spent the better part of last week moving my on-demand webinars over from Crowdcast, editing them, cutting out the fluff, chopping them up into chapters, and turning them into self-paced online courses that are easier to consume. Full transparency, after this sale they’re all going up to $97 (yesterday’s price isn’t today’s price) so grab the things and save the monies, would ya please? Here’s an early look at the goodies:

Read time: 3 min 39 sec Whatup Reader! Allow me to start this email off by saying that Rupert, Moose, Lex, and I are all very much safe from the LA fires. We actually live in the one area that has remained in the ‘white zone’ throughout the entirety of this insane disaster, which has been both a godsend and a mindfuck all at once; living life and going about our days while people who live 15 miles from us have lost literally everything. If you follow me on the Instagrams then you’ve seen my...

Read time: 2 min 53 sec Whatup Reader! I already know that a review video hates to see me coming. Yes, today I’m talking about YouTube review videos and not the absolutely INSANE 40th birthday party that I had last week. Like I wrote to my Mafiosos yesterday: Shit was the dopest ever. No notes. What I do have notes about is the fact that there are pretty much eleventy billion different ways to do most things, and rarely if ever is there a clear-cut singularly correct approach. Consider that...
