Two Resources

Whatup Reader!

Sliding in with a quickie today. Hopefully you’ll use the time saved to go and execute on the action items.

Two of my favorite people have recently each launched their own answer to the current question that seems to be on everyone’s mind: “What can I even do?”


​Resource 1:​

First up, my actual brother, Justin Dennis (check out the podcast episode I did with him), has returned to Instagram and started an account called @RootedConnection, for those who believe that connection is an act of resistance. The account is but a mere seedling for what is yet to come and is an initial action item for responding to the environmental polycrises that we are facing.

Your action item: Go give him a follow on Instagram.


​Resource 2:​

Second, my sister from another mister, (ya’ll already know her so this one should come as no surprise) the one and only Dr. JPop has revived, reimagined, and rebranded her newsletter as The Block. The Block is a monthly newsletter exploring self-awareness, power-literate practice, and community-rooted care so we can rebuild with the intention of equity.

Your action item: Go subscribe to the newsletter.


Remember, the only way out is through, and the only way through is together.

Happy Tuesday, Reader.

Maestro out.

Read time: 2 min 5 sec Whatup Reader! Sometimes I like to sit and think about hypotheticals. I play out made-up scenarios to see how what the butterfly effects might look like. This time, it was about beach volleyball. I spend no less that 6 hours a week playing beach volleyball. I started in early 2020, right before the world shut down, and I’ve been obsessed ever since. Lex andI take lessons twice a week. We play pick-up for a few hours every Friday. We’ve taken a last-minute trip to...

Read time: 1 min 53 sec Whatup Reader! First off, BIG thank you for the kind (and enthusiastic) responses to last week’s email. Ya’ll are my people. I wanted to follow up that email with a business lesson that maybe is a non-sequitur, but I don’t even care, because it needs to be said. Ya’ll, if no one has raised their hands and said they want the thing that you want to make, DON’T LAUNCH IT. I’m not saying this because I don’t believe in you, I’m saying this because I believe in math. So...

Read time: 3 min 21 sec Whatup Reader! Sooooo, yesterday the email marketing service formally known as ConverKit sent out an email announcing a significant price increase for all of its users, effective October 15th. People were, understandably and justifiably, pissed. Everyone checking their email on Monday morning. Now, I use ConvertKit. I’ve been a loyal subscriber since 2015. Their platform is actually how you’re receiving this very email. Yes, my price is going up, no, I’m not happy...
