Looks like Substack is a pretty solid way to make some money! Like any other platform, I'm sure that not everyone has this kind of success with it, but I was wondering - do you ever suggest starting a substack for any of the brands you work for? What do you think are the merits or the defects of a major brand having its own substack?

I think people love substack because it’s pure content from a voice/person/group they love that hasn’t been ruined by advertising. No one is clamoring to pay monthly SunChips long essay hot takes.

Yes! I’d rather pay for a Substack than have those writers need to lean into brand deals / sponsored content as a means to make a living. It’s a way to support while keeping the content untainted from corporate influence.

You reminded me that it was one of my goals to start my own substack, so thanks for that! I believe the problem is that not too many people like reading anymore. It's a niche, and it's hard to get major brands' followings to come to terms with having to read. Sad but true.

Not sure which one came first, but Substack always kind of reminded me of Patreon. When the Youtube monetization apocalypse happened, a lot of people started on Patreon to help monetize the work and also to just be more authentic. I’m not on either a lot, but see the value they can have for both sides.

Planning a trip to Rome and Naples with day trips to Tivoli and Pompeii. Is 1 week enough? I feel like reading through 3/4 day Rome and 2 day Naples itineraries, the trip seems rushed. I have unlimited PTO but my SO is limited in time (but luckily he can work extra hrs and then use less PTO). I would say max we could do is 1.5 weeks but adding on 3-5 more days seems almost too much? Thoughts? For reference, I did Venice-Florence-Rome in a week and it seemed okay but it also wasn’t as planned out

Men w/ the newer style Apple Watches: what size Apple Watch do you have: 40 or 44mm? I’m 5’7” and slender and was thinking that the 44mm might be too big on me even though I want the bigger screen.

Let’s finish this up strong! What are your year-end self development plans?!
We have our last session of the year of our group/guest financial education cycles at our Downtown Toronto office this Saturday. We go through our first financial education session that we talk about basic to higher level of financial information; from saving, investing, risks and returns, registered accounts, etc. There is no cost and no obligation. If you are interested to attend in-person or via Zoom, let me know.

Advice and/or consolation anyone? My wife and I (both above average health 30year olds) were trying for 11 months before getting pregnant and then had a week 5 early miscarriage a few months back. If the stress and surprise of just how difficult it apparently is to get pregnant wasn’t enough, the miscarriage put us over. We got back to it and have been trying for the last 2 months again, still no luck. We’re freaking out… all we want is a family. Any similar stories? Advice? 😢

Every time I attempt to mediate, my mind wanders to my to-do list or other things that start stressing me out and defeat the purpose of meditating in the first place. Does this not happen to anyone else? How do you block out going to the stressful places in your brain?
