Daily Fabler Brand
Share
Greg proposes creating a modern wisdom brand built around Aesop's fables, similar to how Ryan Holiday revived stoicism with Daily Stoic. The idea is to repackage timeless fables and morality tales for Gen Z and millennial audiences.
Key Points:
-
Core Concept:
- Take ancient fables (like Tortoise and Hare, Wolf in Sheep's Clothing)
- Modernize and distribute them through social media
- Brand name: "The Daily Fabler"
-
Business Model Based on Daily Stoic's Success:
- Build audience through social media (Twitter, TikTok, Instagram, YouTube)
- Monetize through multiple channels:
- Courses
- Books
- Physical products (like Daily Stoic's medallions)
-
Market Opportunity:
- Easier to curate and distill existing content than create new content
- Targets Gen Z/millennials seeking meaning and purpose
- Part of "unbundling of religion" trend where ~50% of Gen Z is unaffiliated with religion
- Creates category of one, similar to how Daily Stoic owns stoicism space
-
Advantage:
- Content already exists (Aesop's fables)
- Proven model (Daily Stoic's success)
- Clear target audience (young people seeking wisdom/meaning)
