About Unsubscribe

Unsubscribe is a newsletter and private membership that helps you build a life you love, supported by work you enjoy.

Every week, I write two short essays that challenge conventional wisdom about success, work, and fulfillment. Paid subscribers get the weekly essays, access to the private comment section where members and I discuss the ideas inside the essays, and Substack Chat — my private, real-time chat group where I’ll share behind-the-scenes, host Q&As, and start real-time conversations.

Inner Circle Members get access to high-value, monthly workshops with top entrepreneurs, creators, authors, and makers — fascinating thinkers building better lives through their work and sharing everything they’ve learned along the way. They’re also invited to intimate, small-group dinners around the globe (first-come, first-served; meal not included). And inside Substack Chat, Inner Circle Members get full access, including the rare ability to start their own threads and lead conversations.

Posting Schedule

All subscribers receive a brand new post every Monday and Thursday.

PTO policy: Each year, I take four (non-consecutive) weeks off. During those weeks, I won’t interact as often in the comments and Substack chat. This is an essential part of building a better life, and helps me recharge to bring my whole self the other 48 weeks of the year. Thank you for understanding.

Why "Unsubscribe"?

Because social media has become loud, shallow, and increasingly performative.

Thoughtful conversations have been replaced by non-stop politics, hot takes, engagement bait, and AI-generated everything. The result is that ideas that help you build a better life and business are nearly impossible to find.

So, for the last few years, I’ve had more meaningful conversations elsewhere — in small, focused memberships filled with thoughtful entrepreneurs, creators, and independent thinkers. These conversations have helped me make better decisions, build a more enjoyable business, and live a more intentional life.

After speaking with hundreds of my readers, I realized they’ve been looking for the same thing:

A quieter place to think, learn, and have better conversations about building a life they love, supported by work they enjoy.

So I built it. It’s called Unsubscribe.
