Woot! Just hit 25K subs for my free Ask Gib Product Newsletter. W/time lessons clear:
1. Just keep writing
2. Helpful to be on a growing platform (Substack)
3. Nice acceleration via recommendation feature
4. Be patient (it takes a while to find your voice)

Here's my (pretty standard) growth graph:
- the first flattening was a slowdown in my writing cadence.
- the second acceleration was due to Substack's recommendation feature, where writers have the ability to recommend others' work.

Here are the recommendations that I provide, along with the number of subscribers this drives. I do read each of these and legitimately think they are very good.

To be honest, I'm still on "summer break" for my writing. I'm not quite ready to hop on the hamster wheel again, but I will soon. The world opened up so I have begun to do lots of speaking/working again. Writing for "Ask Gib" is on my guilt list but I can't do it all!
