community is not cheap in cities. It’s a luxury good (think othership, soho house, etc).
elites are paying for community because there’s not enough free spaces around the city, no sexy venue that you could hang around with friends…
interesting discussions at @FuckupNightsTO

Middlemen are underrated. They get you what you need, charge a fee you can price in, and extend your reach.

@ChrisSpoke you don't know if you've saved that money yet. Give it another few years.

Everything good starts with an ask. My friend @BloomTO at @readthepeak has 10 hours to hit his $100,000 goal for Leukemia and Lymphoma Society of Canada (@LLSCanada). Together we can help cure blood cancer! Link in the thread.👇🙏

I need some help.
My web development agency is struggling with processes.
We have a lot of business, we have a great team, we’re delivering awesome sites, but the processes are clunky.
Who has built a successful web development agency that I should talk to for ongoing advice?

Super happy and so grateful to our team, investors, advertisers, readers, viewers and listeners.

Who's doing DFY newsletters as a service?
Meaning you: Set up the newsletter, write + design the content, schedule the sends, etc
I might have clients to send you.

There is an escape hatch - which is to buy one such company and start mailing out a printed catalogue. Like on real paper.
The pathological reluctance of new economy companies to engage in *any* old-economy style marketing is an opportunity waiting to be exploited.

It’s one thing for made.come share price to collapse. It’s another for nobody to want to buy any part of it ? That’s the most scary part. The idea these asset light companies actually have nothing. What does that mean for Wayfair , overstock , Casper..then to Uber ?

Awesome to see my brother Daniel named one of @readthepeak's emerging leaders for 2022. Dan is doing incredible things in the entertainment space and makes me proud every day.
Hey @BloomTO and @bchang is that the first sibling combo?

For @Chatelaine's January 2022 issue, I recommended 5 Canadian newsletters you can subscribe to this year instead of doomscrolling your way into despair Reading hot takes on Twitter is great, but reading these newsletters' detailed takes is even better! chatelaine.com/living/smart-c…
