We've hit a milestone
And there's more to come
Today I only have a very short post for you. Normally I try to serve up something useful, and get it out to you on the second and fourth Thursdays of each month. This time around I have a lot of special things cooking outside my blogging world, all very time sensitive and some of which I may tell you about pretty soon, and I need to attend to those today rather than give a full article.
However, one cool thing happened this week while I was occupied elsewhere:
We crossed the 1,000 subscriber mark on this Substack.
I launched this Substack at the beginning of 2023, with the understanding that I had asked myself many times before Do I need to start another blog?. The answer was always “no” and I never regretted it. But this time felt different. I’d been putting productivity-and-purpose related content out there on social media and on other publications, and there was an appetite for it and not many bloggers filling the niche. So I thought, YOLO.
I’ve been grateful for your attention and readership as I’ve sought to find the right voice, right cadence, right approach for my writing here. That’s still a work in progress. I think Substack readers get that, and they are along for the ride anyway.
I am especially thankful for my paid subscribers. I don’t put anything here behind a paywall — paid subscriptions are basically just fancy tip jars to say “thanks”. They also help me pay for the infrastructure I use for writing (Google Workspace, a dedicated laptop, etc.).
And to celebrate hitting this milestone, I’m happy to offer a 1-month 20% discount on all paid subscriptions! Just go to https://www.intentionalacademia.com/next1000 to sign up. (Use the “monthly option” to get the lowest price, $48/year.)
Thank you again for everything. I’ll see you in a couple of weeks!
