❤️💣 Mission: Reconnect With An Old Friend
Reconnect With An Old Friend
The Background
This month I'm pivoting my career a little bit, going from a boring old marketing director to a freelance creator again - something I've really missed in my life. This time, instead of building new things on the social web, I'm becoming an AI developer, with a specialty in new forms of storytelling with all the new tools and possibilities open to us.
I'm also re-opening my personal email list, which has been dormant for 8 years. It's going to be mostly work stuff - AI ideas and projects and the like - but I'm sure I'll do a personal post every once in a while. You can check out what I'm up to here: Storytelling in the Age of AI, and then if you want to get on my personal email list, you can sign up for the newsletter at the bottom of that post, or you can click the button right here. See some of you soon!

The Mission
Take a moment this week to reconnect with an old friend. Send a text, make a phone call, grab coffee. Just take some time to reconnect with someone who helped you get where you are today.
Let's take a step back, and keep old relationships growing too in the middle of new and exciting life moments. Let me know who you reconnected with if you feel like it!
-Nate

9 years ago I was talking to the SpaceX Comms team about potentially joining their department. My son was 14 years old and just starting to get interested in space tech, so I asked if I could bring him along. They said yes, and we took a picture in front of HQ in Hawthorne before going inside. 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...
