Mind of a Maker
A daily blog inspired by Matthew Dicks
“Every action you take is a vote for the type of person you wish to become. No single instance will transform your beliefs, but as the votes build up, so does the evidence of your new identity.”
To become better at something, you have to practice. What better way to become a better writer and storyteller than to practice by making a habit of writing daily?
In this daily blog, we’ll discuss Maker-related topics as well as what inspires projects, including YouTube videos, Movies, TV Shows, Disney, Star Wars, LEGO, Books, and more. Everything is on the table, and nothing is off-limits.

3 Mistakes Makers Starting Newsletters Should Avoid
You've taken the plunge into creating a brand around your Maker content and a newsletter seems like the best next fit.
You probably started by subscribing to other Maker newsletters (if you weren't already) and tried to emulate what they did. The issue is that most newsletters are terrible and you're just repeating the same mistakes they do. Ultimately, you don't get any traction, the newsletter takes a backseat (if you keep sending at all), and you wonder why you wasted your time and effort.
