It’s good to have you here!

Can I ask a quick favour? Could you take 2 minutes right now to hit reply and tell me what prompted you to sign up today? What are you hoping to get from these letters?

(I read and reply to every response, and what you tell me will help me write better letters.)

The deliberate practice of product discovery
Saying no to good ideas
The struggling product team
The power of doing as thinking 🤔

Some housekeeping...
