Wow, baby! A lot has happened since we last chatted. I went to Madrid, my first European trip to see Taylor Swift. TWICE. Yep! On night one, we looked to see how much it would be to return and see her in the rafters. After fees, it was just $300! 👉🏻 Click here to see my floor view. 👀 Peep my Eras Tours highlight too! Fun fact: While I was there, I was on the other side of the camera doing lots of interviews in English, and my attempted Spanish, on the topic of so many Americans traveling abroad to see Taylor since it's so much more affordable there. It was an exciting day at Storyblok yesterday too! 💰 The team announced raising $80 million in Series C funding. What makes this so cool, in my opinion, is that the co-founders are younger than me! The entire Storyblok team is young in fact… and I just think that’s the coolest.

I have a very glamorous update from my YouTube journey. It is not going well. My videos are not being found. They are not being watched. The YouTube algorithm has not lovingly scooped me up in its arms and introduced me to thousands of new best friends. Rude, honestly. I’m doing the things I’m “supposed” to do. I’m posting. I’m optimizing titles. I’m thinking about thumbnails. I’m trying to make videos people actually want to watch. I’m showing up like a responsible little bookish content...
I finally realized why AI keeps giving people mediocre content. They’re briefing it like a stressed-out group chat with one vague sentence, three missing details, and a follow-up correction 14 seconds later.

Hi Reader, Last week, I went to PitchFest at ThrillerFest in NYC, and let me tell you... It was a whirlwind.
