You headed to Austin?



👋 Hi Reader,

Apologies for the radio silence this week.

I had been making my way halfway across the world, so I can attend the New Media Summit in Austin on Feb 26-27. I spent the last couple of days figuring out which city I woke up in :) which is why I missed the usual Sat morning Eastern schedule for this issue.

​Matt McGarry from Growletter has been one of my primary go-to people for everything related to newsletters. When Growletter organized their first-ever newsletter summit in Feb 2025 in Austin, I made the 9000-mile trip to make sure I don’t miss anything, Matt and his fantastic team are putting together.

Naturally, the event exceeded my expectations last year (and the catering arrangements were chef's kiss)

So I promptly made arrangements to make it to this year’s occurrence.

It looks like they have outdone themselves this time, by expanding the impressive speaker lineup (Codie Sanchez, Matt Paulson, Alexis Grant, to name a few) along with my usual favorites (Chenell Basilio, Sam Parr) and many more.

So I am going to take copious notes (and photos!) during the event, and I would come back bearing the gift of insights to you, in case you are unable to make it.

And if you are going to make it, please let me know by hitting 'Reply' to this email, and I would be stoked to catch up in person.

Nothing gives me more joy than to know there are real people reading this newsletter every week. I would love to meet you and express gratitude for the time you give LetterStack.

See you in 4 days!

👋 Hi Reader, This week, I have been spending quite a bit of time going through Dorie Clark’s work. I believe that the only skill that I arguably have is the will to be misunderstood in the short-term, as I try to build a long-lasting career in the long term. So when I heard that Dorie had actually written a book on this topic called ‘The Long Game’, I was intrigued. I am yet to read the book, but the fact someone as prolific as Dorie documenting their thesis on playing long-term games was...

👋 Hi Reader, I learn something new every time, Adam Ryan from Workweek shows up on my LinkedIn Feed. This week was no different. Adam decided to call out the elephant in the room in the newsletter ecosystem: Bot Email Opens. Adam's post on LinkedIn this week Adam would know this firsthand. Across its newsletter portfolio, Workweek does millions of email sends in a given month. So understanding what’s happening across the board and who’s opening their emails is the prime imperative for Adam,...

👋 Hi Reader, On this fine Saturday morning, let me come clean on something you might not know about me: I am an open source nerd. I started my career building game design levels on Half-Life, (I know, I am old, be nice) and I was blown away by the fact that someone would allow a nerd like me to play around and add my tiny contribution to the game I so loved playing. I never pursued that line of my career full-time, but I got hooked to reading and knowing about all things open. As I built my...
