It’s humbling to me that you are even reading this sentence. I maintain my position that doing the work associated with this newsletter is possibly the most selfish act that I have ever done. I need it to sort out my thoughts, admit to my flaws and most importantly try to figure out how to set myself on a path of long term recovery. Despite that selfish bend, there are those of you who have found some sort of hope for your own lives in this writing.
I set up the cadence and content of the newsletter based on no data or past experience. I focused the Tuesday posts on quicker hit items and then poured more time and effort into the long(er) form Friday posts. Moving forward, I am going to cease the Tuesday post, as I think it’s primary purpose was to make the podcast episodes available, but there are alternatives to achieving this.
I would encourage everyone to subscribe to the podcast on their listening platform of choice. Click on the links below and hit:
“Follow” on Spotify,
“+ Follow” in the upper right on Apple Podcasts
“Subscribe” to the YouTube channel
By subscribing and rating (please drop in a rating or comment on the podcast if you haven’t already) the podcast across the various channels, you are helping elevate the work and bring it forward to others in need that are on these platforms.
I don’t need to justify my decision to you, but I will. I’m taking back the small amount of time that the Tuesday post takes up so that I can focus my efforts on the Friday post and the podcast. Plus, I feel better about minimizing my digital footprint within your email inbox, something that does genuinely and oddly nag at me.
I feel that my Forrest Gump run is still ongoing with this work, but I have felt the desire for this change for a few weeks, and so I’m just going to go for it. I try to limit repeating topics between the newsletter and podcast, but maybe they will have a tighter synergy going forward. Who knows, I’m making all this sh*t up as I go!
Appreciate you all for tagging alone.
All the best,
Kyle
