I’m back to posting on Medium (too!)
I’m embracing ‘and’ NOT ‘either-or’
Good news (or at least I hope it’s good news).
My newsletter (The PBL Newsletter) will return to being published on Medium as well 🎉
In fact, it’s going to be published to the 6k of you here plus:
This is all part of an experiment and a new principle I’m trying to embrace, which is to view things not as an ‘either-or’ but as a ‘AND’.
We often view things as ‘either-or’… as trade-offs.
We think speed vs quality.
When in actual fact the people at the top of their profession are often the quickest and produce the highest quality!
Sure when you’re not competent speed means we rush and cut corners, but it’s a false dichotomy.
There’s other examples and as a result I’ve started to challenge my thinking around this more.
Which led me to challenging my thinking around my newsletter too.
Why not publish here AND my site AND Medium AND LinkedIn?
Why does this need to be an either-or decision?
Sure there’s pros and cons and perhaps some reasons but it wasn’t enough to stop me from wanting to give this a shot.
After all, we already do this with other forms of content (social posts, videos, etc) why is a newsletter any different?
And especially with platforms like Substack moving to be more app focused and like a social platform with the intro of chat and notes. It made me start to see each platform more as a medium rather than the newsletter itself.
And maybe this will all blow up in my face.
But I’m willing to give it a go!
You’ve got to be willing to experiment and try new things. Otherwise you’re just following the herd with what everyone else is doing.
Thanks as always for all the support.
It’s good to be back!
Watch this space — posts to come!
