My First Million
The best business ideas come from noticing what's working and doing it better, faster, or for a different audience.
Savage Scaling Framework
A rapid content/product scaling approach that prioritizes volume and speed over perfection to dominate a market category quickly
How It Works
Works by finding a proven format, then producing at maximum theoretical capacity rather than industry-standard pace, accepting lower individual quality for massive volume advantage
Components
Validate that your format/product works with audience
Calculate theoretical maximum production capacity
Build systems for consistent output at that capacity
Accept 'good enough' quality standards
Focus on distribution/SEO rather than perfection
Scale team around volume production, not craftsmanship
When to Use
When you've validated product-market fit, competition is limited, and the market rewards volume/presence over perfection
When Not to Use
In quality-sensitive markets, when brand reputation is critical, or when you lack systems to maintain baseline quality at scale
Anti-Patterns to Avoid
Example
“Parcast bootstrapped to 40 weekly True Crime podcasts in 2 years, generating 100M downloads by hiring voice actors and pumping out volume rather than crafting perfect episodes”
