Can't really explain why (even to myself) but the first part of your reflections really hit a spot in my brain - at a time when business is pretty messy, it made a difference so thanks Mario

Glad that part hit at the right time, Kenny. And thank you for being a longtime reader and supporter of my work. It means a lot!

Thank you so much Sam! And right back at you: the consistency and quality of your own newsletter inspires me in my own work.

Incredible how you respond to everyone who sends you a note! There is nothing worse than someone feeling ghosted. Congrats on all your hard work. I recommended your Substack and before long, it was generating more subscriptions for you than many others that I recommended, which shows in a small way the quality of your work. Please check out mine and consider recommending it. Thanks.

I think you’re an OG Henrik! (Or at least a verrrry early days subscriber.) Thank you for the continued support!

Congrats on 500, on following your own arrow and doing it consistently, showing up even when you don’t feel like it. I admire it and aspire to be it!

Appreciate that Robbe. Just keep going!
