Volume
In one of my writing workshops, a couple people got salty when I said: "You need a better reason to publish than 'It's Tuesday.'"
It struck a nerve because the dogma of SHIP SHIP SHIP runs deep in the online writing world. But I don't buy the dogma. My rule is: "Write every day; publish when you have something to say."
That said—starting today, I’m going to start publishing weekly.
I don't know if it will be the same day each week. But I do know that I have something to say.
I have something to say about media, publishing, writing, and the future of it all. My team and I are trying to embody that future at Altamira.studio. And I believe I'll have something worth sharing about it every week for the next 52+ weeks.
Everything I’ll discuss here is the output of a team. The team is on a mission to ignite a new cultural golden age. Interestingly, we think the American business world is the cradle for the next golden age.
More on that soon.
🙏 Thanks for being here so far, and I hope you'll stick around for this new chapter!

There are perks to having a philosopher on your team. My co-founder Bill Jaworski is a philosopher. It’s fun to work with him because he’ll say something super insightful, off the cuff, and then I won’t be able to stop thinking about it. Last week, he drew this spellbinding analogy between writing a great book and building the Parthenon: “The Parthenon is supposed to look perfectly symmetrical, the same in all dimensions. But as you approach the Parthenon, the two outer columns are not framed...
An Uber driver with a New York accent who called himself an “Iranian Jew” picked me up from an airport this week. I rarely feel strong emotions when talking to Uber drivers. But this conversation was different. I wrote down what I could remember. “I used to own a deli. I owned it for 17 years and I loved it. Making bagels. Making chicken salad. And it was a great business, because I had a captive audience. My deli was in an office building, so we were the best option for breakfast and lunch...
