My email career TL;DR ➡️ What I did:

1️⃣ I aligned my interests with my career aspirations. I said yes to roles I could’ve easily convinced myself I wasn’t qualified for. I benefited from the generosity of others, continued to refine my craft, and shared my knowledge with others. More 🧵'd below.

In today's Starting Point newsletter, we’re explaining President Trump’s fixation on tariffs, including those he slapped on Canada, China, and Mexico this weekend.
Two presidents, 128 years apart, and their shared love of tariffs - The Boston Globe

In Saturday's @CapitalBNews newsletter, I wrote about former President Joe Biden’s last clemency action and the “girlfriend crimes” that led to most of the women who received their commutations winding up in federal prison for life or decades.

You should apply! Highly recommend and agree with Megan, it was a great experience.
There’s still time to apply for the Poynter Leadership Academy for Women in Media, designed to level up the skills for women, nonbinary and gender non-conforming media leaders.

This was a life- and career-changing experience for me. Happy to answer any questions.

Steward Health Care raided its own medical malpractice insurance company
Most of the insurer’s assets are in the form of IOUs from Steward Health Care, which went bankrupt in May.

Being drop kicked into the memory of my abuela taking me to see Free Willy in ‘93 — and then playfully calling me out on having a crush on Jesse on the bus ride home — was not on my 2024 bingo card.

I see a lot of you still sharing posts from the obviously fake Count Dracula account, so please be aware:

- the real Count would never post during daylight hours in Romania

- his full given name is Vlad, not Vladimir

- he does not actually say “blah” and would never write it out in a post

A newsletter is a type of email. Not all emails are newsletters. Not every email play is a newsletter play. Do yourself, your org, and your audience a favor and learn more about email as a platform, a product, and an audience lifecycle tool.
