GROWTH INSIGHTS | [Insert insights here...]

It's days before Christmas and things are busy... so please forgive me—no growth insights this week.

I'll be back next week as we hurl towards the impending calendar flip.

The new year. The clean slate.

Are you ready? Not sure I am. Lots to reflect upon :)

Regardless, I plan on doing a quick recap and public reflection of my experience publishing + building this newsletter for the past year.

Stay tuned!

For now, here are some great links you might enjoy.
