In addition to the podcast & youtube, we're starting a daily advice & book recommendation email.
Reading has changed my life, since I started reading obsessively around age 7. (You can read my piece on my life-long reading journey here).
Each month I read between 5 - 15 books, and this will give me an outlet to talk about the books I loved, and how excited I am about them.
Some days will be purely a book recommendation, but others will be around an idea.
If you know me, you know I'm obsessed with mental frameworks, and I have been since I was 10 (e.g. why I have a 104 page google doc with frameworks I collect like a treasure hunter).
This email will also be an outlet for that. Mental frameworks that impact your life on a day to day basis.
It'll be short, and calm. One book, one idea, from one person. My goal is to have the email be an oasis of calm helpful advice / books, in a world that is more chaotic than ever.
Let's get started,

NOTE #1: The podcast has been on hold for a few years, while I've been working on the farm we have here in North Carolina (+ consulting, + app dev, + writing something much bigger for 2027, etc etc). So, I've had my hands full. Not to mention we're expecting our first baby soon, and dealing with lots of family "stuff". But, Season 2 of the podcast will be coming in Spring 2026. Just a heads up!
NOTE #2: I try to stay off social media, as much as possible. So this is really the only outlet you'll have to interface with me and my ideas (other than Season 2 of the podcast). But, the email will have a `from` address that pushes straight to my person email `dain@hey.com`, and I encourage you to reply and recommend books / ideas / or ask questions. Those might become future emails.
