🐝 the tender economics of loving your work
Oct 300:03:22Tap to summarizeHello and thanks for listening to this audio version of my email newsletter ⋆⭒˚。⋆ ⠀This week, I started shipping my new book, Your Attention is Sacred Except on Social Media, to readers around the world.Even though I have lots of practice sharing my work in public, it felt really tender for this book to break free of its cocoon and fly to other homes.I was both elated to share it and afraid of it being out there.

Transcribe →👷♀️ your mind is the pipeline
Sep 1200:05:35Tap to summarizeHello and thanks for listening to this audio version of my email newsletter ⋆⭒˚。⋆ ⠀Your Attention is Sacred Except on Social Media will be here in 20 days! And one of the joys of getting closer to the publication date is that I'm starting to have conversations about the book with podcasters who are generous enough to have me on their shows to spread the word. I love having these conversations, because they help me find new ideas, examples, and ways of thinking about the work that I would never arrive at without the magic of our minds coming together. Today I want to tell you about a really good example that came up on two different calls this week. It's not in the book, but it's a great ‘aha’ moment for anyone rethinking attention and social media.
