🤯Unknown Unknowns #122 - Happy New Year!
I’ve been a little inconsistent sending these out lately, but going to be more regular going forward. I like the idea of concept of “taste” that I talked about last issue. I’m planning on exploring how it shows up in life over the next few weeks.
📝 Writing of the Week:
I’ve been writing unpolished, around 100-word mini-essays. Just reflections on ideas from podcasts or things on the news. Here are the latest:
1️⃣ Do Things That Suck
2️⃣ Credibility
3️⃣ Losers
4️⃣ Ego and Decisions
🔍 Discoveries:
Louie Bacaj and I wrapped up our latest cohort of Newsletter Launchpad. There were a bunch of great newsletters that came out of it. Below is a sampling of a few of them. I believe that newsletters are the easiest way to go from consuming to creating. It’s the easiest way to express your creativity and develop your taste.
