Hey Everyone,
Hope you're having a great week. I’m back after a week in Arizona, two and a half weeks in Africa, one week of being really sick and a little bit of time off around the holidays. Here are a few things I've been reading, writing and pondering lately. Enjoy!
1. How We Quadrupled Monthly Traffic With a “Shot in the Arm”
Here’s a quick story about how a single viral blog post catapulted traffic to our entire site.
2. Unfollowing Everybody
I took Anil Dash’s advice and unfollowed 400+ people on Twitter. It felt and still feels amazing.
3. 2020: What a Time To Be Alive
A short and great post from Morgan Housel.
4. Tweet of the Week
5. Random Links
