Hi friends!
I'm happy to share that I'm back in California! My husband and I flew out to San Francisco on Monday to make it in time to celebrate my Mom's birthday. Today, we took the six hour drive down to Los Angeles for my Master's graduation at USC early tomorrow morning. It's been a busy week!
I'm surprised I was able to meet all my writing goals of seven published atomic essays, two pre-IPO deal memos, and publishing this newsletter. But I can't let you all down!
Here's what I want to share this week:
🖋️ Quote of the week
“The ultimate goal of writing online is to build a Personal Monopoly. It’s your unique intersection of skills, interests, and personality traits where you can be known as the best thinker on a topic and open yourself up to the serendipity that makes writing online so special.” –David Perell

👩🏾💻 Upcoming atomic essays:
This coming week, I'll be approaching week 4 of Ship 30 for 30. I don't have any topics planned, so I won't be able to share what's coming up. But since my atomic essays are up in the air, I'd like to toss it over to you all!
🤔 Question for you
What are some topics you'd like me to write about?
👋🏽 That's all for now
I'd love to hear from you whether it's feedback on what you enjoyed about this week's newsletter, what needs work, and what you want to hear more about.
Chat with you all next week!
Cheers,
Neilda
