“If you do what everyone else is doing, you shouldn’t be surprised to get the same results everyone else is getting”.

Weekend Thought:
I love newsletters because they provide a digestible recap all in one place.
But what do they lack? Engagement.
My POV is one of many. And I want to hear more of yours!
I suppose a comment board (like Fred Wilson’s at avc.com) could foster conversation.
Alternatively moving the conversation to a more social platform, like Instagram, could do the trick.
Would you be interested in chiming in on some of these topics on a platform like Instagram?
