Hi guys,
One more Friday with Readsom in your inbox! How do we like the timing? 🕵️♀️
Last week, I was interviewed for MicroStratups, a directory of trending micro startups that has a complimentary newsletter and shares insights and learnings from indie hackers who build, launch, and monetize their projects. If you’d like to learn more about my journey building Readsom - check the interview here.
And now, let’s get into this week’s selection 🤩
✨ Spotlight
PiggyBack
Known as a "value-investing nerd and contrarian by heart” Johan Eklund started writing Piggyback to educate others and provide actionable value-investing ideas. Johan focuses on a concept called “piggybacking,” which means mimicking other people’s (like Benjamin Graham or Warren Buffett) investment strategies to see what works and what doesn’t, thus saving time and maximizing outcomes.
But who’d better describe a newsletter than the readers themselves? Read what others have to say about PiggyBack Letter and subscribe!
“The top Substack source for knowledge about value investing and how to do due diligence on the fundamentals of a company and their stock. ” by Michael Spencer
“I am impressed by the quality of the content published so far on Piggyback. It is clear to me that the author has immense knowledge about finance and investing. I am particularly fond of the frequent use of references, which gives high credibility and enables the reader to perform further due diligence. I highly recommend this newsletter to anyone wanting to learn more about value investing and the stock market!” by Christoffer Rosén

☝️ Worth Reading
Julian Shapiro is a VERY PROLIFIC person. I’ve kept on seeing his name everywhere I turned, and it feels like he’s good friends with everyone! He’s been a frequent guest on the My First Million podcast, he co-hosts a podcast called Brains with Courtland Allen from Indie Hackers, and from time to time goes viral on Twitter. He’s a former VP of marketing, a founder, a writer, and an investor. On top of that, he’s also known “as someone who’s effective at breaking down how complicated things work”.
I invite you to explore Julian Shapiro’s website and check his handbooks on how to write well and/or how to build muscle as well as interesting blog posts on topics like What to do with your life.
Since I’m almost sure you’ll want more - subscribe to his newsletter Highlights where Julian shares superior book summaries. Why Superior? Because he manages to distill the book's lessons into action items 👑
Have the best week ✨
