Newsletter


Every Friday, I send a short email (Friday Five) with five things worth your time — from books and business to habits, articles, music, and ideas that stick.

You’ll get:

  • One song I’m spinning
  • One quote or idea that stuck with me
  • One article I’m thinking about
  • One book I read or revisited
  • One podcast from the week

It’s simple, free, and always timeless.
