I’ve launched a newsletter. You can subscribe here, and read the first issue below:

Welcome to Issue 1 of Check your Pulse (all 288 of you)!

If you follow me on Instagram, you likely saw the weekly “What Inspired me this week?” roundups I put out last year. The feedback was incredibly positive, but what I realized after posting for a few months is that Instagram, with infinite scroll and stories that keep playing until you force yourself to stop, is not conducive to long stretches of focused thought, which is exactly what I’m craving.

I crave a quiet space where people can come to read and think without distraction. A kind of space that imparts a feeling of depth and truth to help repair our fragmented brains.

Social media is designed to be fast food for the brain. I’m interested in slow home cooking.

That is why starting today, my roundups will live in newsletter form, delivered to your email on Sundays every 2ish weeks. There’s so much stuff out there. I’ll send you a curated collection of multi-disciplinary links and smart reads from around the Internet designed to help you stay inspired, manage yourself, and think critically. More than a newsletter, I hope this becomes a community of smart people who share a love for thought-provoking articles and ideas.

Since this is the first issue, I’ll make a few clarifications:

• I will never send you anything I haven’t read myself
