How homeschooling played a key role in building a $100 million business
Hey Reader,
Here are a few things from the last week that I want to share with you. I'm just getting started with this regular newsletter format, so please let me know what you'd like to see and hear from me as we go.
WHAT I'VE BEEN UP TO
Building an anti-racist organization
My friend Rachel Rodgers invited me to be a part of a town hall on building an anti-racist organization. Over 3,000 people attended live and well over ten thousand have watched total. I learned so much and I think you will too! Watch the town hall here »

How homeschooling played a key role in building a $100 million business
This morning I wrote about my experience with homeschooling. 74 million kids in the United States just had a forced homeschooling experience—will it stick? I share my thoughts on the benefits of homeschooling. Read the article »
WHAT I'VE BEEN READING
Welcome to the 21st Century by Tim O'Rielly
This article is long, but I was hooked from the first line:
"The 20th century didn’t really begin in the year 1900, it began in 1914, when the assassination of Austrian Archduke Ferdinand triggered long-simmering international tensions and the world slid, seemingly inexorably, into a great world war..."
Based on that, did the 21st century really begin on January 1st, 2000?
CREATOR I ADMIRE
Amira Rahim
Each week I'll be featuring a ConvertKit creator doing incredible work. Today it's Amira Rahim. She's a fine artist who has been using ConvertKit for years! Check out Amira's work »

Thanks for checking out week 1 of my newsletter!
As a final thought, I'm sure I'll get plenty of questions about why—after years of plain text emails—I'm using a designed email template. While I still love simple, we've been building email template functionality for ConvertKit and in order to make it better I wanted to use it as a customer.

That's it for today. Hope you have a great week!

Hey Reader, What would you do if you knew you couldn’t fail? You’ve probably seen some version of this question before. It’s a good one, though sometimes the answer isn’t immediately obvious. That’s why I like Graham Weaver’s 8 questions for what to do with your life. Graham founded the private equity firm Alpine Investors, and he teaches at Stanford. In Chapter 2 of my upcoming book, The Ladders of Wealth, I credit him with a principle he shared with his MBA students called "worse first",...
Hey Reader, If I could solve only one thing in my business, that would have the biggest impact, what would that be? This is the question every great entrepreneur obsesses over. Rather than trying to do everything at once, you look for the bottleneck and focus on solving that. There’s a book called The Goal by an Israeli physicist named Eliyahu Goldratt. It’s a 1984 business novel that business systems nerds love. However if you’re not a business systems nerd you probably… won’t love it. It’s...
Hey Reader, Have you ever spent money on something and immediately felt guilty afterward? Will Guidara spends his money foolishly on purpose. And he thinks you should too. He once bought an entire barrel of whiskey and put it in his basement. He also put a skee-ball machine in the office. Is he going to get a monetary return on either of these things? No. But that’s kind of the point. He calls it the 95/5 rule: Manage your money and time like a maniac 95% of the time (no expense is too...
