EVERYONE HAS AN EMAIL ADDRESS

I’m not on Twitter, Instagram, Threads, Facebook, Bluesky, Mastodon, or LinkedIn.

How will I ever meet new people?

Yet a few weeks ago I spoke with an interesting designer on Zoom because their LinkedIn request ended up in my email inbox.

Instead of reactivating my LinkedIn account, I did some detective work, found their email address, and we planned a call.

How will you ever meet new people or find new things?

Stop scrolling and pick up a magazine, a book, watch a YouTube video, subscribe to a newsletters, a blog, a zine, a radio station.

Behind every cool thing is a cool person.

And you can send them an email.
