Using the 3L content framework for your brand
Now that you’ve launched your brand, you’ve completed phase 1. Now it’s time for Phase 2: creating regular content. Many people create a brand because they have expertise in one area or a powerful story to share that can impact others.
But how do you get your brand out there after a launch? The answer is through content.
One of the most powerful ways to do this is through written content. These can be in the form of blogs, newsletters or long form social media posts. Here is an easy framework you can use to take the hard part (coming up with ideas for content) off of your plate.
It’s called the 3L Framework and was developed by our friend, Teddy Mistrosilis. It has three simple steps.
Step 1: What have I learned? Make a list of things you’ve learned in the past. Don’t worry if they’re “good” ideas. Just list them.
Step 2: What am I learning now? Make a list of things you’re currently doing and learning.
Step 3: What do I want to learn? Make a list of things you want to learn in the future.
Read the full article online and tune in next week where we will show you how to pour fuel on this and really take off.

Champion's Mojo, Episode 187: "Turn Road Blocks Into Confidence: Olympic Icon Amanda Beard"
In just two minutes you'll hear some advice for when road blocks come up, from Olympic Icon Amanda Beard, and how to turn those into confidence. This is a micro-mojo flashback from Amanda's full interview, Episode #139. Listen to the full original episode by clicking here.
Amanda Beard is a decorated American swimmer who qualified for four consecutive Olympics from 1996 to 2008, earning a total of seven Olympic medals. She set a world record in the 200-meter breaststroke in 2004 at US Olympic Trials, then became the Olympic Champion in that event in Athens a few months later.
Besides being an NCAA Champion for the Arizona Wildcats and a 2X Pan Pac Champion, she was named a co-captain of the U.S. women’s Olympic swim team in Beijing in 2008. She’s been a model gracing the pages of some of the world’s biggest magazines and has been a TV sports correspondent.
As a young woman, Amanda battled bulimia, body dysmorphia, depression and drug use throughout her swimming career, as described in her 2012 memoir In the Water They Can’t See You Cry.
Since retiring from competition, Amanda has been busy teaching children to learn to swim through Beard Swim Co., a swim school in Gig Harbor, Washington, which she founded in 2017.
