Jealousy saps my energy, and it's what I feel when I hear about you picking up 17 organic subscribers in a week. So I need your advice. How are you doing that? Is it just your fun and thoughtful newsletter content, or is there something else you're doing to spark the growth? Also, what kind of churn are you experiencing? (If you're willing to share.)
I've come to quite enjoy your essays and summary posts, Arman. Great stuff. A few thoughts...
1-Love the "Howdy" over "Hey." Hey is way too overused and, granted you're in Texas, Howdy seems appropriate. If you have any alternatives for "I appreciate..." I'd appreciate you telling because I currently type that 10+ times per day.
2-As I mentioned last week, I quit my boring business job. In my new life, ideation is generative. The more time I have to engage in creative acts, high quality leisure, workouts, walks, and to not be chained to a desk, the more ideas I have. And when I have more ideas those ideas create even more ideas. I write them all down in a note on my phone called "Thoughts."
3-Like Rick, I'm also curious about your subscriber growth. What's the secret sauce? I've been stuck just under 1300 for a bit.
Great round up as usual, Arman. Morgan Housel is one of my inspirational writers in terms of his style too - love it. What do you think of Same as Ever as it compares to Psychology of Money?

Thanks for writing and have a wonderful weekend.
Been meaning to read Amusing Ourselves to Death. Is it a long book?
