All this started, on a whim.
I was kinda bored at my corporate job.
Grateful to have it after a 10 year run, in media.
Then a turn as an entrepreneur that just didn’t quite work out.
Followed by an “I just need a job” moment.
And I thought that was it.
Work somewhere “cool” with good folks.
Put writing and entrepreneurship behind me.
Not in a sad way. Life was good and beautiful.
It was just that I hadn’t seen “success” from the stuff I truly loved.
Then, I created a newsletter and wrote the first issue in less than an hour. I called it “The Five.”
The response was…unexpected.
What people really wanted and needed…wasn’t the Seth who had settled.
But the Seth who wrote like it might be his last day on earth.
Two years later, here we are. Together.
Because I gave it one more shot.
And some good people told me not to quit this time.
Which changed everything.
