THE CURRENT | A Better Way to Get Better
Hey everyone, Kris here.
I originally started Power Company Climbing as a way to simply help people figure out how to become better climbers. We’ve since expanded in a lot of ways, but we’re circling back and making sure that we haven’t lost sight of that initial goal.
And I know how challenging it can be to wade through all of the information that’s out there. A lot of it good, but almost none of it for everyone.
Ever since I made my first REMIX episode, picking a topic and doing a deep dive into the stories, the research, the practical application and then figuring out how to communicate that to the listener, I knew I was onto something.
A better, more complete way to teach these concepts. Better than the usual scatter shot approach to making “content.” As a student myself, I don’t want “content.” I want proven methods, with evidence of various kinds backing it up. I want to hear from experts as well as from athletes who have experimented. I want to think deeper. I want to connect dots instead of collect them.
But I also realized that those REMIX episodes couldn’t do all of the lifting on their own. And I have more platforms at my fingertips. So starting this month, we’re trying something new. Across all of our channels: podcast, Patreon, blog, YouTube, Instagram, Nate’s YouTube, and wherever else we end up, we’re going to be digging into ONE topic for 6 or 8 weeks at a time. Exploring it. Interrogating it. Learning from it.
So going forward we are revamping this newsletter, The Current, to make it the main collection point. If you’re subscribed, you’ll know about all of the ways we’ve connected the dots. If you aren’t interested, you can unsubscribe at the bottom of this email.
But if you’re sticking around, welcome. I’m glad you’re here.
Here’s the deal:
I’ll be sending out a new email around the start of every month. I’m not a fan of tons of emails, so I won’t be spamming you.
If this one landed in an obscure folder, move it so you get the next one!
We make cool things to help people improve, so occassionally I’ll tell you about things relevant to the topics. But this isn’t a sales email.
If you have thoughts, questions or suggestions, please reply directly. I’ll do my best to get back. Well, that’s probably not true, I only have so much “best.” I will try though.
Last but not least, if you find this valuable, please forward it to a friend who might also be psyched.
Ok, expect the next email around the first of the month. Until then, if you’re amped up and want to start exploring, a good place to start is our Resource Library. Use those filters! You can sort by format (pod, article, video) as well as by topic.
Also, if you click the Resources tab at the top of the site, we’ve curated landing pages of many of our most popular topics. That should keep you busy a while!
Talk to you soon,
Kris
