It technically happened over the weekend, but we decided to wait to make the announcement until god (and all of you) were watching again: We did it! We hit the 3,000 subscriber mark and are already just a few away from 3,050. Coming soon: freelance pieces
2,950! We're so close to 3,000 that I can almost taste it. And it doesn't taste like anything, because it's a number. But we can use it to pay freelancers, which is really exciting!

Someone could set up a profit sharing gig with them and invest like $5m, give them three years it'll probably be doing 500k to $1.5m on a relatively similar scale to what it is today, long as you tranche it out and work out hard limits on debt, and generously funding freelance
