more layoffs, remote vs in-person work & a sneak peek for you...
Hey. Happy Friday. 👋🏻
Lots going this week -- I'm sure it's the same with you -- so let's get right to it...
New Podcast Episode: Layoffs Keep Coming and Elon Keeps Tweeting
The layoffs continue -- the data over at layoffs.fyi is a fascinating look at the overall impact. TLDR: if you work at a company that raised $100M+ within the last 12 months, it might be time to start making a move.
Elon's doubling down on the "come back to the office... or else" rhetoric. If you look past the controversy, maybe this is the least-worst way to reduce headcount without a layoff.
Grab it on Apple Podcasts, Spotify Podcasts or Google Podcasts -- and let me know what you think! 🙏🏼

If you don't mind my asking... what podcasts do you listen to on a regular basis? Hit reply and send me your must-listen recommendations.
Full disclosure: I'm going to add your podcasts to a project I'm working on...
Sneak peek:
I'll share a link to it soon -- probably in next Friday's newsletter. It's a bit rough around the edges but, for version 1.0, the goal is two-fold:
- Allow me (or you) to get an email alert for certain keywords or topics that are mentioned within podcast episodes.
- Allow me (or you) to see trending topics across various categories. (eg, What topics are rising in the Parenting category over the previous 24 hours? How about the last 7 days?
Anyway, more on that soon... I hope you'll send me your favorite podcasts! Again, just hit reply (please)... 🙏🏼
Have a great weekend.

Happy Friday (from a coffee shop in balmy Sioux Falls, SD this morning)! Ed and I spent some time at a local pitch event last night, it's been a good reminder that, for the most part, access to capital isn't the problem. The thing about money is that it accelerates what's already happening. You spent 80% of the meeting talking about all your features? I have a prettttyyyyy good idea on what you'll spend 100% of the investment on. 😬 Between the macroeconomy and the rise of entrepreneurship...
Happy Friday! On my mind this week: "Invest in brand, or pay more in CAC forever and ever." As much as I want to take credit for this one, it was a friend's tweet that caught my eye. However you slice it, third-party relationships (ie, PPC, sponsorships, etc) are short-term and first-party relationships (ie, your own brand, email list, etc) are forever. 💫 *** New episode: Joe Rogan's Next Big Payday And Spotify Pivots On Distribution Joe Rogan is resetting the market again with an incredible...
Happy Friday! On my mind this week: most entrepreneurs fear the wrong thing. Growth is fun. Failure sucks. But the absolute worst thing that can happen is being stuck in something that's not-quite-growing-but-not-quite-dead. "We haven't monetized this yet but I've been working on this for almost a year! I'm gonna figure this out." 🚩🚩🚩 This is true for investors too: the worst case scenario is having your money tied up in a company that's not-quite-growing-but-not-quite-dead. (PSA: we write...
