PowerNotes - Powernotes #17
Hello friends, As you may have noticed, powernotes did not land in your inbox yesterday. That is because we worked on some changes, so there was a little delay. Starting next week, it will arrive in your inbox on mondays, as usual. We have a surprise this week. This week’s powernotes edition is a free edition for everyone (paid and free subscribers). Starting now, occasionally (once every two months), everyone will get a full edition. Today’s edition and the changes made are meant to strengthen the identity of powernotes. We are delivering a curated newsletter that focuses on bite-sized content, on short and interesting content. It is not a long newsletter, nor a detailed one, you will not find any long reads, or topics that go into details with thousands of words. Powernotes is nothing like that, and the changes you will notice in today’s issue try to express the identity of the newsletter : a format that is short, interesting, thought-provoking and enjoyable. One that you can read in a short time every week. And one that you enjoy reading. That’s our game. With the hope you will all like the new format, let’s grab a hot coffee and let’s start.
