If you…

• want to read concise high ROI content

• are focused on self improvement

• desire to broaden your interests

…Then you’re in the right place.

Why you?

I’m like you. I’m on a personal development journey too. I want to become the best version of myself.

Like you I want high value information without all of the fluffy. I want to be inspired. I want the ah ha moments. I want to apply what I learn to better my life.

The trouble is we all get stuck in our own little worlds. We get distracted by shiny objects. We end up consuming the same content over and over. The algorithms behind the content we devour turn us into confirmation bias machines. Leaving us blind to what’s over the next hill or blind to whether there a hill or not.

Please don’t think I’m trying to sell a panacea. 

No, I will not be able to shine a light on all your blind spots. I’m no guru. I don’t have all the answers. I’d be a fool to think I even had a handful. Like most of us I’m just an average joe on a journey looking for answers.

The best I can offer you is friendship.

I want to share my point of view with you. I want to show you what I see over that other hill. I want to tell you what I have heard in village you never heard of. Maybe I’ll only affirm what you already know, maybe it’ll change your mind, maybe you’ll find a new rabbit hole to go down, or maybe you’ll just get a laugh. I won’t make you any promises except, when you hear from me it is because I think I can provide you with something of real value.

Please call me whatever you want. You can call me ‘that guy I get a newsletter from’, ‘that other component of your information funnel,’ you can call me ‘the guy that makes me feel good about myself.’ But, I’ll call you friend. 

What to expect?

The Barnacle: A few times a month you’ll receive an newsletter which includes:

1) A short letter 💌 where I share a piece of content and give you my analysis and opinion. The content could come in many forms including: a short story, a passage from a book, a quote from an interview, or a simple pieces of information.

2) Four or five great links 🔗 I recently found. These links could include: an interesting podcast interview, a blog post, funny stories, a goofy video, or a few high value products.

3) Finally, a quote 🔊 or a question to think about.

What next?
