#MondayBlogs 🔵 I Took a Risk in My Jail Classroom | Dr. @AndrewDKaufman ow.ly/hcR750YCsnT What happened when honesty didn’t lead where I expected—and I stayed anyway... I looked around the circle. Kory slouched low, elbows on his knees. Dustin scratched his beard. A few of the older guys watched me closely. We had been meeting for a couple of weeks, reading Crime and Punishment in the jail classroom. The conversations had begun to heat up as the men took more risks, sharing pieces of themselves and their pasts. And I had a sudden feeling: maybe it was time I gave something back. Taking the Risk “There’s something I want to tell you,” I said. “In third grade, I started a forest fire.” I was nine years old, reckless and drawn to danger in ways I didn’t yet understand. They laughed at first. They thought I was joking. “I love fire, too!” Kory, a 23-year-old Black American man with a bright smile, blurted out. “I ain’t never set no forest on fire, but I almost burned down my house.” I felt an instant connection with him. I was emboldened to share more... Read more: ow.ly/hcR750YCsnT Free to read and subscribe. @bsgspeakers

#MondayBlogs 🌞 Why Subst*ck Stats Feel “Off” (Compared to Traditional Email Platforms) | @BadRedheadMedia geni.us/SubstackStats Substack doesn’t measure the way traditional email platforms do. Once you understand why, your numbers start to make sense. If you’ve ever looked at your Substack stats and thought: What am I even looking at? Same. Nothing like opening our dashboard, seeing numbers that don’t match our expectations, and wondering if we broke something. We didn’t. Substack just isn’t measuring the same things we’re used to with other email platforms. 💥 Gratitude to my exclusive advertising sponsor, the always-free @Booklinker, and the paid tool, @GeniusLink. I use both and recommend them highly 💥 Substack Isn’t Just Email On platforms like Mailchimp, your content lives inside the inbox. Someone subscribes, you send an email, and they either open it or they don’t. Clean, contained, manageable. Substack does two jobs at once. You publish a post (aka a newsletter or article) and two things happen at once: 1) It’s emailed to your subscribers and 2) It’s added to your public Substack site, making it searchable. This is huge! It means your content travels. People can read your post without opening the email, clicking a shared link, or finding it later through search. Which is great… until you expect your stats to behave like email stats. They won’t... Click for the rest. Free to read and subscribe!
