Simon Owens's Tech and Media - It's my birthday!
It’s my birthday! So consider getting a subscription to my newsletter. I mean, don’t do it if you don’t get much value from it, but think for a moment about whether it helps you in your career. A subscription is a measly $45 for an entire year. Subscribing gives you special perks like being able to participate in Q&As and live “office hours” chats with me. But the real reason to subscribe is to support all the actionable insights I’ve been delivering you, free of charge. Use the link below and get 10% off your first year. |
