We launched our first Substack post on April 2, 2022. Ten months, 46 articles, hundreds of thousands of subscribers, and millions of views later, we've reached an important milestone in our journey.
We’ve got a lot of requests and feedback. It becomes clear that many readers want more in-depth explanations on specific topics. As a result, we’ve decided to devote more time to it.
What’s changing?
We are adding a premium plan. The diagram below shows examples of what paid issues might look like.
For free subscribers:
Continue to get one issue every Saturday.
For premium members:
An extra deep dive issue on Wednesdays.

What will it cost?
$150 per year, or $15/month.
Many subscribers use their company's learning budget to cover the cost of this. If this applies to you, you can find a helpful expense template on the "About Page".
For those of you that can’t expense it, or can’t afford it. Just drop a line to [email protected] and we’ll work something out.
If you subscribe in the next 72 hours, get the first year for only $100, or $10/month (33% off)
When will this change happen?
The first subscriber-only post will begin this Wednesday! Feb 15th.
If you’ve found value in this newsletter, or just want to support the work we’re doing, consider subscribing. It would mean a lot to us.
Sincerely,
Alex
