First, I want to thank Twitter for recommending this to me!! It’s wonderful!!!
Second - Niko - omg I felt the same way until I accepted a co-writing book contract with another local writer. This guy has published like 50 books!! The first time I saw his writing…. It gave me all the confidence I needed. There is no reason I wouldn’t get published if he has.
"Your near misses aren’t finite, like marbles in a jar labeled 'CHANCES.' They are more like bricks you’re putting down one at a time so your eventual success is as sturdy as possible!" Josh, I love this! I want to frame this somewhere in my office. I know this is a place for pep talks and not advice, but I still think that Dear Sugar and Ask Polly would probably be really delighted to sit next to you on an airplane and exchange advice-related thoughts, while you enjoy your tray tables together!
This was great Josh! I loved the jar of marbles/bricks for foundation analogy. I'm looking forward to reading these going forward and getting a boost from them. And your recent appearance on AFE was hilarious as usual. Thanks for creating this!
I suspect it is a wonderful thing to be Josh's friend in real life. This is a lovely next-best-thing.
This is very kind! Thank you!
I have always admired your energy and enthusiasm for pep talks! Thank you for being a positive force of nature!!
Thank you!!
Awesome first go. Makes a happier Monday. It would be so great if when I choose listen it could be your voice instead of a computer.
Thanks so much! I'm trying to figure out how to do some audio! (Technically I know how to add it, but in terms of bandwidth and style!)
I love this newsletter. And if you ever want a pep talk, just email me. ✌🏽
Esmé! You are too kind! Thank you so much!
josh you are an utter delight.
Thank you!
Whoohoo! This was as wonderful as I knew it would be. Congratulations.
Thank you!
#1! Let’s gooo!
Woooo!!!
I love the format, Josh! It would be fun to include a weekly pump-up jam if it’s relevant.
(I put streaming links in my newsletters, and they seem to integrate nicely on Substack!)
