You're a maker, a writer, a solo operator. You create. You build. You ship. But you also want an audience. Not just any audience, but one that trusts you, that sticks with you, that helps you build momentum. This chapter is about how "learning in public" helps you do exactly that. Think of it this way: you could work in secret, perfect your craft, and then unveil a finished masterpiece. That sounds good, right? Like a big reveal.
