I’m not sure where I could even go to get these same insights. Seems like the only place, and it’s high-leverage.

Shockingly non-spammy. Clean, concise content. Would love to get this weekly instead of biweekly even.

This is one of four newsletters I willingly subscribe to. Don’t hesitate. It's reliably useful.

Growth, Zestful

I’m new to marketing, and this newsletter was an effective shortcut for getting me up to speed.

I read every issue. The growth marketing insights are legitimately good.

This is the best community for growth professionals — period.

It’s a very high-leverage newsletter. You’d have to do a lot of trial and error to get these learnings.
