Dear awesome reader, I’ve got some thrilling news to share with you.

I’ve got some thrilling news to share—we shaken things up and made the jump from Medium to Substack!

Are you wondering why I made that move?

Well, let me break it down for you.

It’s all About You

When you hit that “Follow” button on Medium, you’re not just crossing your fingers and hoping to stumble upon my latest piece.

Nope!

With Substack, you don’t have to play the alghoritm game. You receive the full text in your inbox every time I drop some knowledge.

It’s like having a VIP pass to the data analytics party, and you’re on the guest list!

No more missed articles. No more scrolling through endless feeds.

Substack is More Interactive

Picture this: You’re sipping your morning coffee, and ding! There it is—the latest post from yours truly.

But wait, there’s more! With Substack, you can hit reply and shoot me a message.

Got questions? Curious about my sources? Want to share your own insights?

Boom, we’re chatting!

Substack is not your typical read-and-scroll platform. You can shoot me a message faster than you can say “data-driven decisions.”

I love replying to nice and curious people. So don’t be shy—drop me a line, share your thoughts, or throw your burning questions my way.

Let’s make this a conversation, not just a monologue!

Accessibility Matters

So far, we have talked about the power of email.

But what if you don’t want to share personal information just to read some text online?

No problem, I’ve got your back!

Substack keeps it simple. You can devour my content without the hassle of creating an account. You don’t even need to enter your email address.

So whether you’re in your PJs or rocking a three-piece suit, dive right in. It’s data insights at your fingertips, hassle-free.

Free, as in Free Beer

Let’s talk money.

Or rather, the lack thereof. Substack is like that magical unicorn that prances around, sprinkling free content dust everywhere. You don’t pay a dime, and neither do I.

Substack is absolutely, positively, and wonderfully free!

But here’s the scoop: If you’re feeling extra supportive and want to be a champion for quality content, there’s an option to buy me a beer or two.

Your support means the world to me and fuels the fire to keep those articles coming your way.

So, what’s next?

So, are you ready to elevate our data journey together?

  1. Click that Follow Link: Seriously, it’s like giving me a virtual hug. Hit that link, and let’s make this Substack journey official (link).
  2. Spread the word: Tell your friends, your neighbor’s cat, and that fella who always hogs the office microwave. Share the love, and let’s build a community that thrives on curiosity and camaraderie.
  3. Stay Tuned: Brace yourself for mind-bending insights, quirky anecdotes, and the occasional dad joke. It’s going to be a wild ride.

Hint: There’s a lot of new content waiting for you there!

Remember, dear reader, this isn’t just about platforms—it's about us. So grab your favourite beverage (mine’s cappuchino, in case you were wondering) and let’s dive into the Substack Sea together.
