Tiny Digital World Builders

Quick update, because this page used to say something else.

It used to say you’re early — there’s nothing to buy yet. True at the time. Not anymore.

Tiny Digital World Builders (TDWB) is open.

Here’s the part that trips people up: there’s still no “Buy” button on this page. You can’t walk up and pay me, even if you wanted to. I know how that sounds. Stay with me a sec.

So. You’ve looked around, and something clicked. This is where you step forward — it starts with my email list.

Subscribe (free, forever) and you’ll get a short series — seven emails, one a day for about a week, five minutes each — that picks up where the manifesto leaves off and pushes the ideas further. Call it orientation.

At the end of that week, one of two things will have happened. Either you’re nodding along, leaning in, wanting more. Or you’ve found the eject button and fled, because this is all just too weird, too different from how marketing is “supposed” to work. Both are fine. The second one’s kind of the point.

Only then do I extend the Invitation. Not as a hoop — I’d rather you spend a week in my inbox and decide nah, not for me than pay first and work it out later. The week does the sorting, quietly, in both directions.

(Slower, calmer, personal. The opposite of being chased around the internet by a countdown timer and a retargeting cookie.)

Expressing oneself in the world and creativity are the same. It may not be possible to know who you are without somehow expressing it.”

Rick Rubin, The Creative Act (p. 182)

As Sovereign Creators, the World we build for the people we serve is a unique expression — of our message, our voice, our design, the whole feel of the place.

Think of this as open-world marketing, where the old “funnel” machinery has receded into the background, because … well, because it’s an older paradigm that doesn’t serve this new way of operating, with trust-building at center.

I’m a visual thinker; maybe you are too…

I use metaphors and pictures to “construct” what I’m building, like the two illustrations below (made with AI, of course).

Maybe the World you want to build is the one on the left: a little Miami neighborhood, beachfront homes, year-round sun, palm trees in the skyline.

Or maybe it’s more of a private island — where “insiders” come to learn from you. A little like Richard Branson’s Necker Island. (That one’s closer to what I’m building here.)

Much of what I share in this World is “ungated.” A lot of it is also hidden — sometimes both at once.

A lot of it was shaped alongside the early members who came in at the start. There’s always more to write, more dots to connect between ideas. That part never really ends.

For now, browse around.
