Favorite stories from 2025
And a quick thank you for being part of this community
Another year blogging regularly feels good (in fact, this is now ~207 weeks of consistently sharing at least original story per week). The habit of collating thoughts on various topics is something I’d done for over a decade, then let lapse for a few years, but we’re very much back and having more fun than ever.
For new readers, or for those who might have missed something, here’s links to 10 of my favorite stories from 2025 (in no particular order).
What’s really going on in marketing
You can’t prompt your way to meaning
On sharing controversial things
Your process is not sacred enough
The dystopian spectacle of streamers
Friendship in the age of politics and productivity
Thanks for being a part of this community, to everyone who leaves comments on public posts or replies to emails, I appreciate all your thoughts and do read everything.
I also very much appreciate those of you who are paying subscribers, as well as those who share stories with your social followings or directly with friends via email. The fact that I don’t really ask for this often, and some of you do it anyway, means a lot.
I hope you have a restful holiday break and a happy New Year celebration. I wish health, happiness, and success to you and your family. Follow your dreams, work hard, and anything is possible.
