After years of freelance writing for other people's businesses, David is torn: keep serving clients, or finally build something of his own? Preston sits down with Amy Suto, whose Substack newsletter now pulls in over $191,000 a year, to unpack how freelancers can turn their writing into equity instead of just income. They dig into paid newsletters, self-publishing, and the exact roadmap for building a writing career that doesn't depend on anyone else's business.
