Welcome to First Class Founders, your favorite destination to learn proven strategies to grow your business.

Today, we’re joined by Clint Murphy, Host of The Growth Guide Podcast.

You’ve probably seen Clint’s content on Twitter already, if you’re one of his 326k+ followers.

But did you know that Clint wrote a Twitter thread for 75 days in a row straight?

That’s right. When he had no audience back in 2020, Clint put in the work and spent hours writing threads every single day.

As you can guess, consistency is one of the key takeaways from my conversation with Clint.

But, that’s not all by the way.

There are 7 amazing lessons that I learned speaking to Clint Murphy.

I speak to Clint about:

  • 📈 His Explosive Growth on Twitter

  • 🏆 Creating an Audience Growth Flywheel

  • 🕰 Reverse Engineering Your Ultimate Destination

  • 💻 How to Grow on Other Platforms (LinkedIn, Newsletter, Podcast)

This episode is a masterpiece in audience building.

Jetsetters, you know what time it is… let’s get down to business!
