Show Notes
Isaac Saul started Tangle in 2019 without a platform job, a big name, or the institutional head start many Substack-era independents enjoyed. He describes himself bluntly: “When I started Tangle, I was a nobody.” In this episode, we talk about how he hustled his way from zero readers to a 450,000-person list and 70,000 paying subscribers, and how he’s trying to make the shift from a creator-led project to a durable media company. We get into his decision to add new voices, the limits of solo output, the temptation to do more, and why he thinks the next phase of media is about building systems, not personalities.
