📬 Let's Link Up ~ Issue 08
A curated list of links and resources...
Remember when we were all isolated at home during the pandemic and we had all the time in the world for content?
We were consuming a lot of content. So much so, startups and content creators were booming and growing fast. Now, we’re all back in the world and living with little to no time to consume content at the same rate. Many are faced with that reality as we watch startups and creators scale back, pivot or give up on what once seemed like a massive opportunity.
So here we are, despite all of those things, Joshua and I making content :) Perhaps we can crack the code and make meaningful content with insightful conversations, rewarding inspiration, and helpful resources.
And if you missed it, we dropped our interview with Alex Matisse of East Fork Pottery last week. It’s worth a listen and I’d encourage you to pick up one of their awesome coffee mugs! A new episode with Joshua and me will drop next week. Until then, here are all the links, resources, and jobs that we found interesting this past month:
