Is the Growth Program for you?

Hey there,

Justin here. ICYMI, the Growth Program is 50% off for another 7 days for our anniversary sale.

Truth is, the Growth Program isn't for everyone. So I wanted to share who we built it for, and who should probably skip.

A lot of early-stage operators find themselves in this position:

You've launched, but nobody's showing up.
You're doing a lot of growth things, and can't tell what's working.
You're a growth team of one with limited budget and bandwidth.
You’ve tried outsourcing growth with lackluster results and decided to bring it in-house.

This is exactly who we built the Growth Program for. The busy founder or growth lead who needs to move quickly and get a lot done with limited resources.

So who's not a good fit?

You'd rather hire someone else to own growth.
You’ve already built a scalable, repeatable growth engine.
You’re a senior marketer looking for advanced theory and frameworks.
You’re looking for a traditional course that teaches everything under the sun about a particular channel. e.g. Meta Ads.

If you are a fit, here’s how it works. It’s a course, but not the kind you’re used to.

You start with a short assessment: your company, your goals, your stage. From that, we recommend the right path for you.

Then you get to work learning our growth system. The first five parts walk you through building a growth strategy from first principles, for your company specifically. You come out the other side with a strategy you built yourself and a roadmap telling you which channels and tactics to prioritize, and in what order.

From there it’s execution. The program comes with 50+ tactical playbooks, and your roadmap tells you which ones to focus on, and when. If your strategy calls for Google search ads, you work through that playbook. If your landing pages are the gap, you run that one. Your AI co-pilot is along for the ride the whole way, for feedback and questions as they come up.

You go at your own pace. Some people build out a growth engine in a couple of weeks, others pull the one piece they need for the problem in front of them this month.

The Growth Program has worked for 4,500+ startups. Doopoll grew monthly recurring revenue 800%. Astra grew monthly actives 500%. 3 Leaf Tea doubled conversions and cut bounces by more than half. Different business models and problems, but the method produces results.

Get 50% off ($495 instead of $995) through October 20. No code needed.

A diesel deal

(Getty Images)

Hey Snackers,

Seven masked thieves pulled off an audacious heist at Tuscan warehouse, expertly disabling the alarm system before carting away 30,000 bottles of rare wine, the Financial Times reports. The wine, made by family owned Marchesi Antinori, which traces its history back to 1385, sell from between about $170 and $560 a bottle.

The thieves seemed to have intimate knowledge of the specialized storage facility’s operations, with the robbery timed just before Antinori was about to send out consignment shipments to some of its best customers, ensuring the warehouse would be laden with valuable bottles.

It’s the most recent in a string of thefts in Italy targeting high-end wine in storage or at restaurant cellars. Antinori says it went public with the sale in the hope that enterprising oenophiles can be on the lookout for the looted bottles.

Stocks were relatively flat on Monday.

Problems By The Barrel

Another attempt to get diesel prices down appears to have fallen apart

When we last checked in on the White House’s attempts to get the price of diesel down, the President was floating the idea of allowing red dye diesel – which is chemically identical to normal diesel but with added red dye and is exempt from federal taxes but restricted to off-road vehicles – to be used for to be used for normal on-road uses.

Energy experts doubted the policy change would do much to push prices downward, and would likely result in red dye diesel becoming more expensive, putting even greater cost pressure on farmers.

Now, the White House is trying a different approach: get Russia back into the (legal) petroleum products exports business. On Friday, the Trump administration announced that the US will buy 36 million barrels of Russian diesel over the next several months, with 2.25 million barrels purchased immediately.

Prices did initially tick down on the news, but the challenge is the context: the world uses around 30 million barrels of diesel per day. US truckers use almost 3 million barrels of diesel a day, Reuters reports.

The news agency pointed out that the shipments of Russian diesel that the US has announced a schedule for thus far amount to less than four days of what US trucks use daily. The Financial Times noted that industry analysts expected the deal to have very little impact on global supplies and thus prices.

President Trump went further on Sunday evening, announcing a so-called energy ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine in which both nations would abstain from attacking energy infrastructure. Shortly after the announcement, Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Russia carried out a target strike in violation of the ceasefire. Both the international and US benchmarks for crude oil prices rose a little over 2% on Monday.

THE TAKEAWAY

Attempting to use Russian imports to drive down diesel prices is a tenuous tactic given the scale of the shipments announced thus far, and, as Deutsche Bank’s Jim Reid told the FT, the uncertainty of any truce between the Kremlin and Ukraine.

But as long as diesel prices stay elevated, expect more policy activity from the White House. “There is a lot of impetus to do more,” Citigroup’s head of energy strategy Anthony Yuen pointed out, because GOP districts “tend to consume more diesel”.

— Ben Walsh

That’s how much Albertsons is demanding that Kroger pay in compensation for the failed deal to combine the two companies in what would have been the biggest grocery deal in history.

Ilhan Omar Raid, Paris Market Fire, and Smiling Galaxy

Tuesday, October 13, 2026

Good Morning! On this day in 1792, the cornerstone of the White House was laid at the site chosen by President George Washington and Pierre Charles L'Enfant, city planner for the nation's new capital.

Paris lost a piece of its soul this week. The Marché Couvert des Enfants Rouges had been feeding the city since 1615, surviving revolutions, two world wars, and a 1990s plan to replace it with a parking garage. A fire took it in a single night. We have details below. Have you ever been to Paris? Vote in today’s Poll Position.

How many benefits come with the credit card in your wallet? Buried in the benefits guide that most cardholders never open are protections that can be worth real money. One can cover your hotel and meals when a flight strands you overnight, another the phone in your pocket. But the coverage only counts if you know it’s there, and plenty of people don’t. In one survey, almost 40% of cardholders had no idea they carried the benefit at No. 1 on our list. So what’s already on your card, and how do you use your perks? Ayla has the full story on today’s episode of The Flyover Podcast. Tune in here!

If you haven't compared your car insurance in a while, there's a good chance you're paying more than you need to. Even if you checked rates a year ago, the market has changed. That's why today's sponsor, Insurify, makes it easy to compare quotes from more than 120 insurers in just a few minutes.

FAA Warns Airlines Off Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabia was hit by another wave of Houthi missile and drone strikes on Monday, two days after attacks on Riyadh’s airport killed 14 people, including an American, and wounded more than 300.

Newly released surveillance video shows travelers waiting in line when the terminal exploded on Oct. 10. The airport has been hit four times in five days and is closed through Oct. 17.

The FAA warned U.S. airlines to use caution over Saudi airspace through Dec. 10, and Delta delayed its debut Atlanta-Riyadh flight from this month to March.

Saudi Arabia’s energy minister vowed a “serious” response, and President Trump said over the weekend the U.S. may join in.

Federal Agents Raid Rep. Ilhan Omar’s Home

Federal agents searched the Washington home of Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., early Monday as part of a criminal investigation. Sources say it centers on the Minnesota Democrat’s immigration paperwork, filled out by her late father when she was a child.

Homeland Security Investigations, the criminal arm of ICE, carried out the court-approved search. The Justice Department called it “part of an ongoing federal criminal investigation.” Omar has not been charged.

Omar, who became a citizen in 2000, called the raid political intimidation and said, “I will not be silenced.” House Democrat leaders called it “deeply disturbing.”

The search comes three weeks before the midterm elections. Border czar Tom Homan first confirmed a criminal probe involving Omar last month.

Fire Destroys Paris’s 400-Year-Old Market

A fire tore through Paris’s oldest covered food market before dawn Monday, leaving nothing standing. Le Marché Couvert des Enfants Rouges was founded in 1615 and named for the red-clad orphans at a hospital next door.

It took 150 firefighters to control the blaze in the crowded Haut Marais district. The steel-and-glass structure partially collapsed, and about 20 traders lost their stalls. One firefighter suffered mild injuries.

The market survived the French Revolution, two world wars, and a 1990s plan to replace it with a parking garage. Food & Wine ranked it the fifth-best food market in the world this year. The cause is under investigation.

Officials say traders will get temporary locations while the city decides whether to rebuild. The local mayor: “We’re devastated.”

Many drivers simply renew their policy every six months without checking what else is available. A quick comparison could be one of the easiest ways to lower a monthly bill.

Compare your rates with Insurify today and see if you could save.
