Twins, new resources, and something I can't tell you yet

My friends,

I wanted to take today to share a few pieces of exciting news with you…

First and foremost, we just welcomed into the world our twins Mabel & Penelope 🥰

I am in awe of my wife Millie.

To say we’re feeling blessed and grateful would be an understatement.

The fun begins!!

Next up, I wanted to share my most recent Community Service post (my paid Substack with Grace Andrews) because we decided to make this issue free for everyone to read.

Off the back of Black Friday, Millie and I welcoming our twins and Grace getting engaged - we wanted to pass on some of the positivity 🙂

In this issue we talk about Marcus Brownlee shutting down his app, Doc Martens’ opening a coffee shop, an Italian influencer that could face prison time over undisclosed advertising and Nothing hiring Loewe’s CMO.

It’s a juicy one.

Enjoy!

Following on from this, with my paid newsletter being on Substack, I’ve decided to make sure my ecosystem was all in one place.

In the coming week, I’ll be moving the Think Like A Creator newsletter over to Substack.

This change means you’re now going to be able to:

1. Comment and discuss your thoughts on each newsletter, directly with me

2. Like and repost it (if you enjoyed it enough)

3. Read my newsletters directly in the Substack app if you prefer that over your email inbox

Basically, you’re going to be able to get involved with my ramblings much, much more.

There’s nothing for you to action on your end, and the only real difference you’ll notice is how my emails look visually.

As I said, I’ll be actioning this over the next week or so.

Speaking of Think Like A Creator…

We just passed 200 editions of this newsletter 🎆

It felt like just yesterday I was celebrating edition 100.

Two hundred times I've sat down, tried to make sense of what's happening in the creator economy, and sent my thoughts straight to your inbox.

Some weeks it's been easy. The story writes itself. Other weeks I've stared at a blank screen wondering what on earth I'm supposed to say that's useful 😅

But I keep showing up. And more importantly, you keep showing up.

I thought I'd take this moment to share a few editions that I'm particularly proud of - ones that either resonated with a lot of you, or ones that I think capture what this newsletter is really about.

If you've been here for a while, maybe you remember these. If you're newer, they're worth a read:

Two hundred editions down. Who knows how many more to go.

But I can promise you this: I'm not slowing down.

There's too much happening in this space. Too many lessons to share. Too many conversations worth having.

And with the move to Substack, those conversations are about to get a lot more interesting.

Thank you for being here.

Thank you for reading.

Thank you for engaging with this stuff and making it feel worthwhile.

Here's to the next 200.

Now, to properly celebrate 200 editions of this newsletter, I’ve got something special for you.

But…

…It’s a secret (for now).

Next week, I’m launching something very near and dear to my heart.

No paywalls coming don’t worry, this will be a 100% complimentary resource for you all to dig into in your own time.

I cannot wait to share it with you all.

Keep your eyes glued to this newsletter!!

I know this was a bit different from the usual newsletters.

Normally I'm breaking down creator economy news or sharing my latest ramblings on why you should be thinking like a creator.

But life's been moving fast - in the best possible way - and these changes to the newsletter are all about making it easier for us to have conversations, not just me talking at you every week.

I'm excited about where we're heading.

And I'm really grateful you're along for the ride.

More to come very soon.

Remember, the creator mindset is all you need to grow 🌱
