A year ago, I launched the Rekt Capital Newsletter.

, a publication that delves into how the construction industry is and, more frequently, isn’t innovating, reflects on how he’s grown his publication from zero to 4,000 subscribers in his recent retrospective.

Growth isn’t linear.

Brian didn’t start with a preexisting audience, and most of his publication’s growth has been through word-of-mouth over the last four months.
