One question
Settle something for me, no wrong answers! Do you like stickers?
That's it, that's the email for today. I'm having a great week. I worked as an election official on Tuesday and then spent a day and a half recovering from a 20-hour day, while also being a bit giddy about how things have turned out locally and nationally. So I don't have words of wisdom, just a question of curiosity. I hope you had a similarly great week :) We've gotten some amusingly random sponsorship offers in the past week. This is one of them. These help offset the cost of the newsletter and every click you make earns me $1, but doesn't cost you anything, so please click if you have time. At some point, I'll do a little round up of how this has all worked and the earnings so far (happy to be transparent about this!) |

Hey Reader, Longtime readers might remember when I used to do the 3@3. New readers, welcome to the explanation: a few years back, I used to go live once a week at 3pm and answer 3 questions that had been pre-submitted. It was all live, no editing, just raw talk. Turns out, I've got a pile of those clips sitting around, and honestly, most of the advice hasn't aged a day. Would I add some information or say it a bit different? Maybe. But these are still so solid, I decided to resurrect them and...
Hey Reader, I recently filmed a short two-minute video as a test while setting up some new tech, and instead of just recording some random babble, I decided to record something meaningful to share with you. If you’re not a video person (I get it!), here’s the main points: As we head into the last two months of the year, you’re going to see a lot of messages about how you still have time to hit your goals, or asking what you haven’t finished yet. It’s convenient to use the calendar year to set...
