BrainPint - Catch & Release

Hi everyone,

This week I've got a favor to ask!

I want to make sure that at BrainPint, I'm continuing to provide interesting reads, useful tools, and learning resources that make you smarter each week.

By taking the brief feedback survey, you'll helping me understand what you enjoy most about BrainPint, who you are and what I can improve on, so I can continue to make it a valuable resource for you.

It would mean a lot to me if you took a few minutes to fill this out.

Thanks for your continued support, I can't wait to hear your thoughts!

P.S. As a bonus, if you leave your email, you'll be entered into a draw where you can potentially win a 30-minute chat with me where I can provide tactical advice on building out your newsletter or product.

Cheers,
Janel
