Hey friends -
Trying out a new newsletter format called read/heard/seen. It's where I will share the best of what I've, you've guessed it!, read, heard, or seen that week. So expect this NL in your inbox every Friday morning pacific time.
While I'll share cool things like music and art from time-to-time, articles will mostly relate to entrepreneurship, tech, or growth.
Why am I doing this? For two reasons. The first and obvious one is that I learn and see so much cool stuff during the week, I want to share what I enjoy with others. Second, I want to get in the habit of having to create and publish something for fun 1x per week.
Enough with the preamble, let's dive in. Let me know what you think!
