EDIT HISTORY | Successful entrepreneurs & creators revisit, review, and roast the content that got them to where they are
If you’ve been creating content online for a while, chances are you’ve got posts from a year ago that make you cringe. 😳 You might be wondering, "Should I just archive or delete this?" You're not alone—every entrepreneur and creator has felt this way, even the most successful ones. On EDIT HISTORY, we dive deep into the journeys of entrepreneurs and creators by revisiting their past content. Together, we explore the pieces they no longer resonate with and unpack the reasons why 👀 Each episode is a case study, where we reexamine old content, share how it could be reinterpreted or revised, and provide actionable insights into what worked, what didn’t, and why it matters. You’ll walk away with practical advice to shape your own content strategy. But it’s not just about content critiques—we’ll also explore how entrepreneurs and creators navigate the insecurities that come with sharing content online. From comparisons and competition to FOMO and self-doubt, we talk about how to push through those challenges, stay true to yourself, and create content that works for your business and reflects your voice. Creating online isn’t easy, but by examining the edit history of successful creators, we’ll learn how to embrace the process, sharpen our craft, and build a content strategy—and life—that we’re proud of ✨✨✨ EDIT HISTORY was previously known as The Side Hustle Club (2023 Golden Crane Award winner) and The Thought Leader Club (2024 Asia Podcast Awards finalist).
