Every time I read one of your articles, I congratulate myself for making such a good investment by subscribing, Michael. I’m excited to click over to Substack when I get a notification about a new article in my inbox. I read every single word of every article because I enjoy pondering your original ideas and your instructions on becoming a thought leader,

But having said that, I have no idea what your publishing timeline is supposed to be. I’m just happy when an article shows up.

Every time you’ve told us about a new proposed publishing schedule, I always thought it was overly ambitious and unsustainable. I thought that you’d eventually want to/ have to scale back. I’m glad you came to that conclusion sooner than later. Just as your brain needs time to think up deep thoughts and make interesting connections, I have a hard time reading too many deep articles a week. My little brain needs time to read each article, digest it, and then synthesize it. So selfishly, I’d rather you take your time, publish less often and double down on that “thought leader” magic (just like you teach us).

Thanks for sharing your wisdom. I hope you enjoy a night or two off, Michael. Cheers!

Wow! I appreciate your comment Treva! It made my day. Reading it means a lot to me.

Also, that's really helpful to get additional feedback about scaling back to give readers enough time to actually read the posts. I think everyone around me (reader, wife, people on my team) realized this way sooner than me :)
