Welcome to My Roman Empire

You might be wondering, "Why launch another newsletter now, especially during the holidays?" ??

It's a valid question. In countless coffee chats ? with fellow entrepreneurs and after poring over numerous newsletters ??, two things stood out:

1. The demand for high-value content ??.

2. The demand for short + concise content ??.

That's precisely what I aim to deliver.

Inspired by "What I Read in a Week" by Chamath Palihapitiya ??, which sparked many of my own 'aha' moments and initiatives, I want to offer the same experience to you.

Drawing from insights beyond my Melon brain ??, I'll be sharing the resources that have been a hit in my discussions with founders and investors, all through a unique, contrarian Gen Z lens ??.

Let's ignite those creative sparks ??.

Concise. Insightful. Enjoy ??.

?? Reflective Pause: A Verse to Contemplate

"In his grace, God has given us different gifts for doing certain things well. So if God has given you the ability to prophesy, speak out with as much faith as God has given you." - Romans 12:6 NLT
