Welcome to your first September Question thread!
Surprise! I have my own questions too!
**I'm putting the last question first here:
19. Create your own question for this thread.What are you most curious to explore with a group of people who value depth over hustle? Ask anything that's stirring in you.
Since we're just beginning this journey together—five-or-so pioneering souls exploring uncharted territory in the Digital Depth Economy—these questions are designed to spark genuine reflection, create sincere connection, and help you identify where you want to focus your energy this month.
✦ 𝗤𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗙𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 & 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴
1. What drew you to a community with nearly zero members instead of those massive groups with thousands? Or maybe you joined both lol. ....I'm genuinely curious about this choice. What were you hoping to find here?
2. When you saw "Digital Depth Economy" for the first time, what stirred in you? Was it recognition? Relief? Skepticism?
3. Would a live welcome and orientation session feel nourishing or overwhelming right now? I'm considering hosting one, but only if it would genuinely serve you. Sometimes, intimate beginnings need spacious, not scheduled, unfolding.
✦ 𝗤𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗛𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗿 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝟲𝗖𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗗𝗲𝘃𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀™
4. Which of these silent struggles feels most familiar: the exhaustion of wearing digital masks, the crushing silence after putting your work out there, or the bone-deep fatigue from trying to hustle like everyone else? No need to choose just one—most of the time they're all tangled together.
5. What's the longest you've gone without posting something you created because it felt "too much" or "too vulnerable"? I'm curious about the stories we tell ourselves during those editing marathons that never end.
6. If you could create one piece of technology that respected your nervous system instead of hijacking it, what would it do? This might reveal where the biggest gaps are between what exists and what you actually need.
✦ 𝗤𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗗𝗶𝗴𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗠𝗶𝘀𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵™ & 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗶𝘁𝘆
7. Describe a moment when you felt like "a three-dimensional soul trapped in a two-dimensional world"—whether online or off. This is the heart of the digital mismatch. Your story might illuminate patterns we all share.
8. What's one business strategy everyone swears by that makes your soul recoil? Oftentimes, a lot of the time, our resistance contains more wisdom than our compliance.
9. If you could tell your past self one truth about building an authentic business online, what would it be?
I think these insights often become the foundation of our most powerful work.
✦ 𝗤𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗩𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲𝘀 & 𝗗𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀
10. Complete this sentence: "My business would feel like home if..."
This taps into our crucial demand for authentic self-expression and sustainable growth. Something I know is critical for me and plenty of deep-thinking/feeling entrepreneurs.
11. What's the difference between the work that drains you and the work that fills you up?Understanding our energy patterns is crucial for building a business that sustains rather than depletes us.
12. If profit wasn't a factor for six months, what would you create? This reveals the purpose-driven core that your actual business needs to honor.
13. What's a piece of "conventional wisdom" in online business that you suspect is actually harmful?
Our contrarian insights might be pointing toward breakthrough strategies.... indeed it lead me to this work!
14. Describe someone whose online presence feels genuinely nourishing rather than performative. What makes the difference? I think these examples help us reverse-engineer authentic digital expression out there.
15. What would change if we measured business success by depth of impact rather than speed of growth? This gets to the heart of the Digital Depth Economy™ paradigm, something I am proud to be a part of.
✦ 𝗤𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗗𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗹𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻
16. What expertise do you have that feels "too niche" or "too complex" for online business?
Often, our supposed limitations are actually our most valuable differentiators. Honestly, I'm pretty sure you already know this, and don't need me tellin ya!
17. If you could have a 90-minute conversation with anyone about your business vision—living or dead, real or fictional—who would it be and why? This reveals the quality of dialogue and depth we're already truly craving.
18. What's something you understand about human nature that most online marketing completely misses? Our insights here could reshape entire industries, and I can't wait to learn from you about them!

✦ 𝗔 𝗡𝗼𝘁𝗲 𝗼𝗻 𝗖𝗵𝗼𝗼𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴:
Feel free to answer just one that sparks something in you, or write a novel responding to several. Again I believe there's no right way to engage here—I hope that comes across.
This thread will live here all month, so you can return, add thoughts, or dive deeper as inspiration strikes. The Digital Depth Economy operates on depth time, not algorithm time.
