Thanks for going the extra mile with me!
Cheers to One Year!
Today I’d like to say a huge thank you to everyone who has read, shared, and supported my newsletter this past year.
I launched The Extra Mile inspired by some of the great content in my inbox. Platforms like LinkedIn and Substack give us real time access to the ideas, insights, and latest work from the world’s leading thinkers. If your inbox is more often invaded by unsolicited sales emails and other junk, subscribing to something you actually want to read feels like finding an email cheat code.
Unlike social media, a newsletter is a long-form medium that encourages depth. And yet, it’s short enough to easily digest between other tasks. A good newsletter will teach you something you didn’t already know, or remind you about something you’d forgotten. It fosters continuous learning and growth.
Writing this newsletter for a full year has given me a chance to learn an awful lot about the stuff I care about. I’ve appreciated all your replies, comments, shares, and likes. So here’s to you, as you build a business that works for you (and not just because of you) – and here’s to many more years of learning and growing together!
