Tell me about yourself?
Last time I did this? Years ago.
Quick timeout today: I’d like to ask for a few minutes of your help with something important.
Every once in a while, I have to turn this newsletter over to the practical realities of writing a daily newsletter for — wait, let me count — 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025 … 2026 ... wow, going on eight years!
The media/newsletter world is changing fast, and I need to be thoughtful about how to make Understandably work in a sustainable way — so I can keep writing it, improve it, and make it more valuable to you.
So ... a survey.
Why today, July 22, 2026? A couple of reasons.
First, Substack is rolling out more sponsorship tools, and having a clearer picture of who reads Understandably will make it easier for me to find sponsors that actually fit this audience.
Second, I’m trying to understand what you most value here: which parts you come for, which parts you could take or leave, and which parts may not be worth the time I spend on them.
It’s pretty short: mostly multiple-choice question…
