In this candid conversation between two seasoned creators, they peel back the curtain on what it really takes to succeed in the crowdfunding trenches. 🔥 Episode Highlights 🎯 Why ComixLaunch Exists Tyler created ComixLaunch in 2015 with one goal: to be the world’s leading podcast on comic book crowdfunding. He accomplished that by niching hard into the Kickstarter space before anyone else was doing it—and built an empire from there. Weekly episodes, masterclasses, coaching, masterminds—he's done it all. 📚 Turning 10 Years of Wisdom Into a Book For years, fans asked Tyler, “When’s the book coming?” Now, to mark the 10th anniversary of ComixLaunch , Tyler’s finally pulling back the curtain on his full system. After running nearly 40 successful campaigns, he’s creating the resource he wished he had at the start: a book that captures everything he’s learned so far. 🧠 Launch Smarter, Not Harder Even after dozens of campaigns, Tyler still prints out his planning worksheets, daily journals, and post-launch debriefs. Why? Because repetition doesn’t equal mastery—reflection does. He shares how systematizing your launch not only reduces stress, but amplifies results. 🤝 Sustainability Over Burnout Both Russell and Tyler are obsessed with long-term thinking. They’ve seen creators crash and burn chasing one big hit. This episode reinforces the ComixLaunch ethos: launching is a skill, not a gamble.
