KP's Column: Featuring No-Code Tools You Must Try, Naval's Thoughts on Meditation, and My Micro Wins 🏆
Hey folks,
Excited to kick-off this new habit of sharing a weekly newsletter where I attempt to reflect and distill all of the curious pieces of content I consume and in turn curate the best picks for you.
Full disclosure: I hate writing long-form content. But I know the value of developing a relationship with your audience over a newsletter (vs just focusing on a Twitter account which deepens the platform risk). Anyway, since I don’t enjoy writing deeply intellectual pieces, I figured I’d just keep it as authentic to my personality as possible. So here goes my 1st edition — hope you like the format and the content. All feedback is welcome, please let me know what you think!
QUOTE OF THE WEEK:“Go confidently in the direction of your dreams! Live the life you've imagined. As you simplify your life, the laws of the universe will be simpler.”
Henry David Thoreau
ARTICLE OF THE WEEK:Came across this gem below on Twitter last week, it is a collection of Naval’s thoughts on meditation over time.

THREAD OF THE WEEK:I’ve been super impressed by the value of well-written threads on Twitter. I’ve sat on the sidelines on this realm for months and finally put an end to my procrastination and just shipped 2 threads last week. The process of writing itself felt so good but the bonus was they both went viral and the response from the community was remarkably positive. Here’s my favorite pick: ↓
WINS OF THE WEEK: 🏆Favorite win? Took plenty of evening walks with my newborn son (baby Neil) -> here’s a video
Been meaning to for a while and finally bought a new car (Audi Q5) 😍
I recently stumbled across this video on Gary Vee’s Youtube channel. When I first learned that his team published my content, I assumed it was just audio. But they included even the video in his official Youtube channel. How cool is that!
Published 2 short-form audio interviews on Racket with Rebecca Gorres (CEO, Remi.so) and Peter Yang (Product Lead, Reddit)
Interviewed and sent offers to a bunch of talented builders and no-coders for the 2nd cohort of ODNC which starts on July 10th
Booked tickets for my 1st post-COVID trip to NYC (I’ll be there on June 29th for On Deck events)
That’s a wrap for the 1st edition of KP’s Column.
Thanks for reading — and please consider sharing this newsletter with a friend or colleague on Twitter and tag me :)
