Good lord. I'm kind of speechless. Other than this: thank you.

In fact, I’d love to send someone (you?) the rough draft to see if it’s too much.

Wow, i’m honored. I don’t have time today, but could carve out time within the next few days to read over it. Thanks for asking

Thanks, Amy.

This is fantastic and honest and the kind of thing that I had (1) hoped to find on Substack but rarely have, and (2) in the same vein of what I am doing with my own Substack.

Subscribed!

Thanks so much. I’ll check out your work.

If Substack just becomes long form Twitter, it’s much less interesting to me. You know?

Great point. I always stayed away from Twitter because it was all so pointless to me. Hopefully the main point of Substack, to share long form newsletters, remains the lifeblood.

Second naivete, my man.

That's the best compliment you could give.

Never stop. Just never stop.

Thanks, Seth. So many thoughts. Some I’d like to eventually share with you….

I'd love to hear them. I shared this with a couple of friends yesterday, asked if it was a bit too loose. But at the end of the day, I decided to let it fly.

Should I send you a DM? Or just shoot me your email. Whatever is best.
