I don’t read these as they come in but instead read a month’s worth of them in one go. Please keep them coming; I learn a ton of things from them.

In a way, you have been my coach through your writing. You have definitely helped me, and I’m sure a lot of other people.

I always look forward to the newsletter because they are so deep and the knowledge in there is golden. If I were to choose a mentor, Dan is the one I would wish for.

These emails are so good. I am constantly deleting/skimming newsletters but I’ve kept the last couple in my inbox to re-read and save parts. They are fantastic; I love them.

I enjoy very last one of these emails. If it were drugs, I’d say this is high grade.

Keep writing. It makes a difference in my day. Knowing that I’m not alone in my struggles, doubts, and insecurities is a big help. Thank you for this newsletter.

Loving your mails—got bored with most design led literature many years ago and you have reset things a little for me.

but these five essays seem to resonate with readers the most.
