Al Reid hired me to be his writing partner for a month.
Here’s what happened next in his own words:
“I come to Josh with the strongest post I can write on my own and every single time, he finds ways to make it sharper, clearer, and more effective.
What surprised me most is that Josh doesn’t just improve the post. He improves me as a writer.
Through his feedback, I’m learning how to spot weaknesses, strengthen hooks, and communicate ideas more cleanly on my own.
An unexpected bonus:
He regularly suggests strong ideas for future posts, which has helped me think more strategically about my content overall.
Since working with Josh, the posts he’s reviewed have performed 2–3× better than my previous posts.
The difference is measurable and repeatable.”
