The best $1 I’ve ever spent
Hey friends,
Fun fact: the word "school" is derived from the Greek word schole, meaning “leisure.”
Yet for some reason, nowadays we don’t associate learning with leisure…
Enter: your favorite newsletter that feels like leisure, but you still learn! :)
💸 Best $1 Purchase
Jack Butcher recently changed the price of Permissionless Apprentice from $100 to $1.
It’s a quick (<60 minutes) course highlighting how to connect with people whose work you admire.
Essentially, if you have a cool idea...Don’t wait for permission. Just go do it.
Here’s a preview of my favorite examples.
⏳ Go For It
In 2007 Joe Gebbia and Brian Chesky were roommates in San Fransisco when their rent was suddenly increased by $1,050. (ouch)
So Joe comes up with a crazy idea “to make a few bucks” sending this email to his roomie.
Today Airbnb is a multi billion-dollar biz. Ha!
Check out this article on their journey as Joe just stepped down.
👶 Fun Fact
Humans are “deuterostomes" meaning when developing in the womb, the anus is the first to form.
This basically means, at one point, you were literally nothing but an *sshole.
Note: some people never develop beyond this stage.
Mucho amor,
Mitchell
Ps. Happy tail wag
