Hi there!


You might be here for the first time. If so, welcome! If you’re already part of the community, we also appreciate you.

You may have noticed that our posts here begin at Volume 9.

It may also seem odd that we’ve put all of those here, but there’s a perfectly rational explanation.

We moved to Beehiiv a short while ago and wanted to ensure our audience still had access to the emails we’d carefully curated for you over the past 2 years.

So, here we are!

This repository contains links and brief introductions to our first eight Volumes and their authors. It is conveniently kept in one place and can be accessed at any time.

Bookmark this and return as often as possible to supplement your email learning.

Let’s get to it!
