Yesterday, over coffee with an old friend, we started talking about this email list.

"You've gotta give me a weekly option—I can't handle daily emails," he said.

I laughed and replied, "That's the point—the filter is working!"

This list isn’t about sheer size; it’s about resonance.

I’m not here to please everyone...

I’m here to connect with those who want a daily touchpoint—who find value in hearing from me regularly.

I'm not optimizing for the size of this list.

I'm optimizing for quality.

For those of you who reply, share thoughts, and engage, this daily cadence keeps the conversation alive and dynamic.

If I tried to cram everything into a weekly or monthly email, it’d lose its spark.

It’d be bloated, less engaging, and—let’s be honest—probably boring.

I like the rhythm we’ve got here, and I’m grateful you’re part of it.
