Love the parallels in this issue around rhythm, consistency, and your steady beats framework. "His autobiography pushes forward just like a great bassline: methodical, understated, and with enough variety to capture and hold your attention. I sailed through its 417 pages quickly." Wondering if the way you called this out reflects a kind of vision you have for your publication, your writing, and perhaps life in general?

"Do you want to perform in a niche you'll get sick of, or keep exploring new interests and ideas?"

That's a great quote Matt. And thanks for being honest about the trade-off between exploring and niching vis a vis subscriber growth. That probably doesn't get said enough!

Gotta be honest. If I had a very tight value prop I'd probably have more subs right now.
