Over the next few months I may be posting more public content, though not on topics I've traditionally covered. Instead of a personal blog about self-reflection, philanthropy, and acknowledging all that makes us human and applying that to helping others, my content will be more about . . . building AI tech and building a business. [crowd boos and hisses] And I'll mostly be doing it on LinkedIn. [Nate dodges a shoe] I mean, even a lot of that content will have sprinklings of philosophy, wit, and (very questionable) humor, because I can't be that boring all the time. But mostly it'll probably be about tech that works and doesn't, the ups and downs of running a startup, and other job-related things. My question for you guys is this: would you prefer radio silence from me here as usual until I have something good to say, or would you like to get a weekly digest of some of the more interesting or insightful things I've produced on the public side during the week? Reply back and let me know what you think. At the end of the day I'll do whatever I feel like doing, but enough of you chiming in might sway me one way or the other :) Also it'll be nice to say hi! Nate p.s. Obviously the business is YouBots, in case you haven't seen it yet. (If you ever stop loving these emails, just unsubscribe here - no hard feelings!) |

Between that moment and today, Josh joined our family group chat with the folks who work in the field, he went with me to the launch of the Mars InSight lander (my cousin worked on it), he started...
I'm restless tonight. Restless and unfocused, but creative. Not a great combination. My output would be muddled. But I can put these feelings to work a different way. Here's what I'll do: I'll create a list of interesting personal questions at the bottom of this email I will choose 5 to answer here for myself You choose up to 5 of your own, and reply back to me with your answers for yourself This is a way for all of us to have a low-stakes connection opportunity. If I get enough interesting...
I may regret this . . . it remains to be seen, haha 😬 But I think we can afford to give away our full $1,000/month YouBots platform to nonprofits for free, based on the money coming in from regular paying customers. For more details on where we are as a business, check out the LinkedIn post I just put up: https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7322712667536642051/ If you or someone you know works for or with a nonprofit, they'll want to see this. It's probably easiest just to...
