I’d never experienced true music fandom until a friend sent me the track “Hi Ren” by @Renmakesmusic on New Years Eve. I couldn’t get enough. Played it on repeat for hours...

Ren’s music feels like a drug. Every song is so different and deeply moving. His range is unreal. Regaee, Pop, Rock, Hip Hop, Jazz and just about everything else. He does it all. Any song he covers he miraculously makes entirely his own.

Community builders deserve to get paid 🫶 We lead with so much heart. Burb’s new simple site builder for memberships called “Launch” is going to be an absolutely game changer for us Here’s what @burbteam is building;

Community builders would feel so much ease if we could just focus on love, not tech. When @drewdil shared with me he and @phildini were building a new product called “Launch” to help community builders get paid via a stupid simple membership landing page I got super excited 🤗

"Pronoia" is my favorite word. When I shift my perspective to pronoia it completely improves my life. Pronoia is the belief that the universe is conspiring to support and empower you. I learned it during an interview with @lauragaliyeva while doing my podcast live in Kazakstan

Pronoia is in contrast to Paranoia - the more common belief that the universe is out to get us and that we are constantly facing challenges and obstacles.

When I learned about the "ubuntu" philosophy I was able to evolve my ability to be compassionate, my willingness to be understanding, my desire to be patient and how vital my commitment to Ubuntu would be more both my relationships and my inner world. A bit about what ubuntu is;

Ubuntu is a term from the Bantu languages of Southern Africa that is often translated as "humanity towards others" or "the belief in a universal bond of sharing that connects all humanity".

Are you thinking about starting a newsletter? Or maybe you already have one but you're not quite sure how to grow your email list or monetize your content Been fangirling over @beehiiv, a new newsletter platform built by the team that grew Morning Brew to 3.5 million subscribers

I set up a newsletter on @beehiiv to see how it functioned compared to aweber, mailchimp, substack etc Here's what I discovered so far; Beehiiv has an incredible referral program. I was able to easily create incentives so subscribers who recommend my newsletter are rewarded.

Pros of remote podcasting: 🎙🖥 • no commute, can interview more people • @SquadCastFM integrates w/ @dolby - remote high quality audio • never worry about losing a recording - Squadcast has backups Famous podcaster Alex Cooper lost an in person recording - defective SD card

In March I launched my first cohort. Members called it "life changing" 119 people across 22 countries joined. Kicking off this week is my next cohort. I kept it under 20 people and didn't market it. Here's why I'm going small this time...

Creating a cohort is artwork, it's the ability for me to love without boundaries and feel valued while doing so. It's a true honor to be a part of each person's journey. Some members like @kwame_johnson have called being in my cohort "life changing" https://twitter.com/Kwame_Johnson/status/1512902201512931332
