Why I fired my “IT Department” (Me)

The Value of a Team

Yesterday, I sent out my first dispatch in months that wasn’t from my Substack.

The response was telling. It turns out, while I was “screaming into the void,” a lot of you were actually listening.

One of the biggest reasons for my silence was a trap most entrepreneurs fall into. I was trying to be the writer, the editor, the researcher, and the IT department all at once.

It’s a recipe for poverty.

I finally realized that if I want to help you navigate the chaos of 2026, I can’t spend my afternoons fighting with software, and AI, and email servers.

So, I fired myself from the technical roles and hired a team.

Why does this matter to you?

Because I’ve done the heavy lifting of figuring out how to build a platform that actually works without it becoming a second full-time job. I’ve documented the “O’Leary Method” for growing a Substack that pays, so you don’t have to make the same expensive mistakes I did.

Whether you’re a writer, a consultant, or just someone with a message that the mainstream media wants to bury, you need a blueprint.

I’m offering mine for $57. But if you use the code below, it’s even less.

Use code EMAIL at checkout for $27 off the price of “Your Substack Success Blueprint.”

(Thanks to a loyal reader alerting me, the code wasn’t working. It is indeed active now—limited to the first 100 offers or March 21, whatever comes first. Chop, chop!)

Stop being the digital plumber. Start being the platform.
