We decided to take a different approach with our weekly email and provide you with one super valuable insight in 30 seconds or less.... Here is what you used to see as the V.A.L.U.E. email.

Now it's just going to be an email.

Let's roll....

Want to stand out in 2026?

Send a handwritten note. That’s it. No hacks, no automations, and no fancy CRM.

Just five minutes, a pen, and intention.

I call it the ultimate $1 relationship builder.

In a world moving a thousand miles an hour, authenticity + human connection beats AI and automation 100% of the time.

​In the words of the wise Paul Graham, do things that don't scale.​

Who’s one person you could surprise with a handwritten note this week?

I recorded a 48-second video about this on my YouTube channel. You can check it out here, and if you enjoy, please consider subscribing.

And if you see zero value in this new format, please smash "unsubscribe" now.

I have a thick skin after a decade as an entrepreneur. You won't hurt my feelings ✌️

P.S. In case you haven't heard, we launched a community on a platform called Skool 20 days ago.

We tried to do something similar back in 2016, and the technology wasn't there. Skype was pretty pathetic, and in reality, I think it still is.

If you're a founder, an aspiring founder, or someone who supports a founder, you understand that we face a different set of issues than other people do.

I invite you to join. It's free for the first 100 members, it's fun, and already over 55 awesome people have joined us in the past two weeks.
