Never tell me the odds

The fall of Saigon, the Manhattan Project for Covid-19, plasma, what to do when you have to lay people off, Monopoly, and 7 other things worth your time.

When I started Understandably.com last November, after a year of writing Inc.com’s “Inc. This Morning” newsletter, I did not know would happen.

The one thing I did know for certain, was that there was NO CHANCE that a global pandemic would upend the plans of almost everybody on the planet.

So much for my predictive abilities.

Anyway, after 150 email newsletters here (and before that, 300+ “Inc. This Morning” daily newsletters), tomorrow marks the six month anniversary of Understandably.com.

Whether you signed up at 7:09 a.m. today, or you’re one of the sainted 1,000+ who have been here since Day 1 and read literally every single email, I have just two words for you.

Thank you.

OK, more than two: You’re amazing.

Also: Stay tuned.

(I’m not crying. You’re crying.)

I’m still experimenting six months later, and I was energized by the possibilities of the format I used yesterday.

So, with a few tweaks, here’s another installment. Additional feedback is always welcome.
