Today’s newsletter is short and sweet.

I only have one big announcement.

Been wanting to do this special project for a long time and it was finally live last week.

I just started a new long-form written interview series called "How I Built This In Public" featuring stories of prolific founders and their ‘build in public’ lessons.

First guest was Marie Martens, co-founder of Tally.so. Below’s her interview:
