Career

In 2020, Bush co-founded Ship 30 for 30 with Nicholas Cole, an online writing program designed to help individuals build a consistent writing habit by publishing short-form content daily for 30 days. The program emphasizes the importance of shipping ideas quickly, receiving feedback, and iterating on content. It has since grown into a thriving community of writers, content creators, and entrepreneurs who use the platform to improve their writing skills and expand their digital presence.[3]

Ship 30 for 30

Participants are encouraged to publish atomic essays—concise, focused pieces of writing—every day for 30 days. The course provides resources, templates, and a supportive community to help writers stay accountable and motivated.

Under Bush's leadership, Ship 30 for 30 has gained widespread recognition as one of the most effective programs for developing a daily writing habit. The course has attracted a diverse audience, including entrepreneurs, marketers, professionals, and aspiring writers.[4]

Writing and Thought Leadership
