My One Year Anniversary

One year of Who Do You Know?

One year ago today I started this newsletter. This was the first one…

Back then it didn’t really have a name— I just had a lot of sh*t to say and nowhere to put my thoughts.

At first I was really hesitant, putting your opinions on the internet whether it be on a newsletter or a TikTok video is hard at first.

Little did I know it writing that first newsletter was one of the best decisions of my life.

In the time since, I’ve had the opportunity to interview and meet so many interesting, cool people behind my favorite brands, have great discussions with my readers, and figure out how difficult it is to write a daily newsletter while juggling a million other things.

I’ve written this newsletter on planes, in the back of Uber’s, and sometimes literally running down the West Side Highway typing it out on my phone.

In the beginning, literally no one read it. I probably published every day for 6 months before I started to grow any sort of meaningful following.

So if you’re thinking of starting or about to quit: I really urge you to keep going until you find your audience that resonates and appreciates your unique POV.

I really appreciate each and every one of you whose given me space in their inbox, and I promise major things are on the way.
