A fascinating post. Curious — why not execute your strategy in NotebookLM, so you're not diluting the pattern recognition and gaps?

I definitely do the same thing in NotebookLM. Just for different uses. NotebookLM is really specific and to the point. Focused only on the sources. I use Claude when I want to be a bit more creative and also supplement with all of my own project knowledge documents in a dedicated project.

I will do a NotebookLM guide on this. Mind mapping your favorite creators is 10/10.

Thanks for sharing! I've tried something similar but usually to a smaller scale. Need to give this a go!

Hey, I appreciate the post, but why are you calling this "advice on specifics" - strategy posts, when it's clearly tactics?

Hey Leon, I'm not sure I'm following. Can you clarify a bit?

You know nowadays people online throw the word strategy everywhere like a buzzword. The thing is that strategy is about general things in business, not about the specifics. For example - the market where you compete or category that you create, and how do you plan to win there. Actionable advice posts about specifics from creators - are tactics. It's not a sin to call it differently, but I belive it's useful to differentiate the two and not mix them up

That is a really good point. Thanks for getting me to think differently about it. I'll differentiate going forward.
