Happy Tuesday! 
Thank you all for the great responses to my last newsletter! I truly appreciate your feedback and support. 😻 
Feel free to reply or tweet me if you have any feedback on this one. If you’d like to recommend posts for my next one, please add them to On Deck Daily first. More on that below…. Thanks!

What I'm Thinking About 🤔
As a curator of content for the past 6 years, most recently as the Mattermark Daily Newsletter Editor, I know there’s a lot of great content online, but most of it doesn’t get exposure or engagement. 
To help give exposure to people sharing their thoughts on startups, technology, and society, I’ve helped launch On Deck Daily with Erik Torenberg, Ben Tossell, and Alex Shye.
Our aim is to build a community where we can collectively contribute to a high-quality feed of content and individually get smarter about startups, technology, and society. We hope you enjoy On Deck Daily & look forward to your posts and comments!
