Hey. It’s time we talked.
I’ve made many tough decisions in my business.
I’ve said “no” to thousands of pitches, turned away countless advertising requests, and made difficult choices about content and tone.
And sometimes I don’t know whether or not I’ve made the right choice.
Today’s podcast episode is a painfully personal one. I open up my mind, explaining exactly how I make decisions about how to lead this online community. I’m frank about the doubts I hold and the choices I’ve questioned in hindsight. I’m blunt about the things I still do not know; the ethical quandaries that plague me.
Today’s episode, perhaps more than any episode I’ve ever done, comes from my heart. I hope you enjoy it.
Thanks to our sponsors!
Does your email stress you the F out?
I have 3 email accounts — two business, and one personal. Keeping up with them is a daily struggle.
So I recently began using a service called Sanebox that makes sense of your inbox. Their algorithms separate actual important emails from noise, so that you can tend to what’s important first.
They also automatically track emails that you’ve sent to others that are still pending response, so that you know to follow-up.
The basic plan only costs $7 a month, and it’s brought relief to my email.
They’re offering both a free trial AND an additional $25 credit to anyone who signs up at https://www.sanebox.com/paula.
