You've Been Asking for it.. and we've delivered the Massive Change in our Newsletter!

Published 5 months ago • 1 min read

Hi Reader,

One of the biggest "asks" we've been getting from many of you is about how each week needs to make each newsletter relevant to you. Since we cover a whole variety of topics (like Personal Branding, PR, AI, Podcasting, Wellness etc.) it becomes a herculean task.

Of course it works if each & every one chooses their preferences, but that too changes with time. So we've cracked the code.

Each newsletter will have 3-4 different blocks around each topic and you can click whichever article interests you.

Same single weekly newsletter in your email. But 4 topics to choose from.

Addition vs Subtraction In 2026?

In the current landscape, growth is no longer a linear pursuit of "more." As founders, we are constantly beckoned toward new horizons, yet the complexities of scaling in 2026 have revealed a fundamental truth: there are only two ways for building your founder growth strategy - Adding or Subtracting.

Why Listicle Features In Forbes, Mid Day & Top Publications matter more than ever in the AI era?

For years, getting featured in a respected publication was considered a public relations win. Today, it is much more than that. In an era dominated by AI-powered search engines, Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity, media visibility has become a crucial component of digital authority.

Why CMOs Need To Win The "Middle Of The Funnel" (MOFU) In Their Marketing Strategy?

The biggest growth opportunity for CMOs today is not creating more content. It is maximizing the value of content that has already proven it can engage audiences. If a social post, video, webinar, podcast clip, or article is performing exceptionally well, it should either be scaled into TOFU distribution or activated through BOFU advertising.

Takeaway from a 100 Newsletters

Hi Reader, In the past 5 years, we have released 109 podcast episodes of “Brain Box - The Leadership Podcast” of our award winning show, but equally significant was writing 100 newsletters on LinkedIn! And that is a rather strange number to arrive at when you started writing simply because you had something to say. Over the course of these 100 editions, I have written about personal branding, LinkedIn, leadership, PR, content, founders, sales, reputation, podcasts, AI and the increasingly...

Three ideas for modern founders and leaders: Why AI can't replace personal branding, how meditation improves leadership & why a transactional mindset kills your brand before it grows.

Hi Reader, Three things we've been thinking about at Brain Box Catalysts this week. One about what AI can and cannot do for your personal brand. One about why meditation may be less about relaxation and more about mental fitness. And one about the mindset that can quietly sabotage your brand before it has a chance to compound. AI Can Write Your Content, but not your reputation. AI has made creating content dramatically easier. But when everyone has access to the same tools, the advantage...
