Hello and Good Monday! 🎉
This week I decided to try something new and exciting. I’ve created a contest to win an annual subscription to a newsletter full of complex, frequently political topics written by an award-winning investigative reporter. You guessed it right, it’s TK News by Matt Taibbi!
See this Twitter post for details and share the word! 🙌
⚡ Spotlight
The Generalist - Tech | Business & Strategy | Crypto
I can’t be sure when was the first time I heard about The Generalist, but I definitely remember a piece called ‘DAOs: Absorbing the Internet’ that was widely shared across Crypto Twitter. But it all started in 2020, when Mario Gabriele, previously a venture capitalist, left his cushy career to begin The Generalist, a newsletter filled with powerful business analysis.
Have you ever wondered why exactly it is that some businesses just seem to work while others don’t? Mario has written more than 50 deep dives on different businesses to answer that question. Whether it's fintech, crypto, or cyber-security, Mario uncovers their secrets and analyzes exactly what it is that makes them so successful.
The Generalist community seems to be at the center of it all. There’s a private, yet lively chat, lots of networking events, and opportunities for collaboration. My suggestion? Come for deep analysis and stay for community aka “a kind of intellectual incubator for anyone looking to create and grow businesses.”
Read the 10 Lessons from Great Businesses that Mario learned from studying some of the world's innovative ventures and consider subscribing to an author who wants to make writing about technology his life’s work.

☝️ Worth Reading
Haley Nahman, a writer behind the Maybe Baby newsletter has a keen interest in modern culture. She discusses cultural critiques, especially aiming at self-delusion, cognitive bias, mass media, and how our lives are affected by all three.
While researching her publication I stumbled upon a great, thought-provoking piece on Cope Culture. Read her thoughts about languishing (“that iffy feeling on the spectrum between depression (bad) and flourishing (good)”), labeling our neuroses and “Capitalist realism”.
Have the best week 🤍
