Why subscribe? Why pay this guy?

Hey. Subscribe for free. Nbd. Just subscribe first to see what we’re sharing! If you don’t like getting the emails, change your subscription settings. If you don’t want to subscribe anymore, unsubscribe. Nooo problemo.

But, here is why you should subscribe and stay subscribed:

• Get full access to the newsletter that will come to your email inbox, pop up on your Substack reader dashboard online, and be on the new app!

• Get access to the archives, basically, all my past stuff, called my website.

• Don’t miss out on dialoging with me and other subscribers in the community of thoughts I hope to build on here in the discussions.

• Connect with friends over ideas, whether you’re my friend or you’re a friend of a friend on here, or you are someone who gets to know me and others through this.

Here’s why you should sign up for the paid subscription:

• I will establish a community of readers and then, when writing and podcasting is taking up enough of my time to be work in addition to leisure, I will need compensation to justify spending that time and energy to:

  • myself

  • my dear wife

  • my friends

  • my family

  • my potential other employs

  • and you guys and gals again who, if you enjoy what I’m sharing, will be hungry for more, perhaps?

• In doing so, I will separate the sheep and the goats (kidddding and not trying to blaspheme! … wait, I also just unintentionally punned. wow baby goats are cute, maybe I should not relegate them to free subscriber only zone). After I cross the Rubicon:

  • comments will only be for paid subs

  • participation in discussions will only be for paid subs

  • suggestions for future posts will only be for paid subs

  • certain posts will only be for paid subs
