10.000 — help! we have success ✨

Our newsletter just passed 10,000 readers (now 10,600!) — from Europe, Canada, India… hello India! 🇮🇳
So happy.
We focused on quality writing + design, then got new team members, and now we’re growing fast — I may need to come back soon with a second crowdfunding…

If you help, I hereby grant you the title of INTELLECTUAL.
