Why Bother Subscribing?
  • Free Software/Engineering Content. I publish all of my educational content publicly for free so everybody can make use of it.  Why bother signing up for a paid 'course', when you can just sign up for this email list?
  • Read about cool new products that I'm building. How do I make money? Glad you asked!  You'll get some emails with examples of things that I sell.  You might even get some business ideas of your own :)
  • People actually like this email list. I know that sounds crazy, because who actually subscribes to email lists these days, right?  Well, some do, and if you end up not liking it, I give you permission to unsubscribe and mark it as spam.
