24 Letters Turns One

I launched 24 Letters on the first day of 2022, although the idea began coming together in October of 2021. I shared some thoughts on the motivation for launching this project in the first issue of the newsletter a few months back:

The idea for 24 Letters started taking shape a year ago. The timing coincides with the birth of my second child. At the end of my leave, I decided to take a career break and become a stay-at-home dad.

I quickly realized that I still had an overwhelming desire to be creative and find a new way to continue my favorite part of being in a leadership role, giving people the tools and ideas to develop, grow, and become stronger versions of themselves. That philosophy of empowerment is central to what I'm doing because I want to guide people to learn things that help improve their lives.

I thought about this philosophy for a few months before launch, finding time to write, wrestle The Resistance, and build on some of the ideas during the long sleepless nights that are part of the deal with a newborn before finally launching on January 1st.

I’m so glad to be here with you, building a community of curious and engaged folks. Thank you for being a part of this!

As we begin 2023, I have never felt stronger about the above sections in bold. I’m planning a lot to deliver on this statement for the coming year, and I'm thrilled you will be a part of this with me.
