Hello my friends —
Many thanks to the 11 of you that subscribed and welcome to this inaugural edition.
I have two goals with this project:
Find fresh sources of inspiration and motivation.
See if I can build an engaged community from scratch.
What you can expect:
I’ll explore 3 general territories:
Product - focused on the future of consumer product (with a bias towards sportswear).
People - resources on finding, retaining and motivating your greatest asset.
Methods - business and mental models to future proof your thinking.
This newsletter is largely a measure of accountability for myself but I hope sharing what I find has a positive effect on your motivation, creativity and clarity of thought.
I truly appreciate your time and support,
— Andy
