PHASE 6 — CRACK EVERY PLATFORM
DAY 37
STAY CURRENT
THE PRINCIPLE
What worked last year is why you're stuck this year.
Doug's early videos were 20 seconds — now the money is in minute-plus. Formats, lengths, and cadences keep moving, and creators who locked in one playbook quietly stopped growing. Staying current is a skill: watch what's winning this month, ride the trends worth riding, and update your defaults before the platform makes you.
