I’m so happy you’re here. Welcome!

Below, you’ll find several FAQs about my Substack — and why you should (or shouldn’t!) care…


Why subscribe?

  1. It’s FREE. (Enough said?) ;)

  2. You read one of my pieces and said “hmm… that wasn’t a total waste — are there more where that came from?” (Hint: yep.)

  3. You want to be inspired.

  4. You want to be challenged.

  5. You’re interested in any of the following: personal development, creativity, culture, marketing, entrepreneurship, and business.

  6. Or — you don’t care about any of these but appreciate a fresh point of view from someone curious like you, who shares your love of words and ideas.

  7. You often think to yourself, “Ya know? I wish I got more email.” 😜

Where else can I find you?

On Instagram, you’ll find 1,500 original epigrams and mini poems I wrote. You’ll notice on Substack that I sometimes use them as “jumping-off” points for microblogs and mini essays.

TL;DR: I write long-form on Substack (well, microblogs); I write short-form on Instagram. And I repost both on all the other platforms.


$o, what’s your agenda?

No agenda, dear skeptic. All my stuff is free and I’ve got nothin’ to sell you — no courses, no subscriptions, nada.

No shade to capitalism and entrepreneurship, but I get enough of both in my day job as an agency founder (and author of such emails as “Just circling back…”).

I use this as a creative space to sell you only on my opinions and ideas.


What do you write about?

A bunch of things. I like to start with a single point of curiosity and see where it leads. Some common themes:

  • Ideas

  • Personal development

  • Writing & literature

  • Entrepreneurship

  • Marketing
