Hi friend 👋🏼 and welcome to this week’s edition of “the dump.” We have an interesting mix of exciting news, great tips to grow your IG, but we’ll also have to address the upcoming doomsday for TikTok…. only 25 days before it shuts down, and negotiations are at a standstill 😬

The good news is that YouTube is still great platform that belongs to a company that has yet to piss off everyone. So many that’s where we should invest our time?

This week we are also testing a new section called “fun stuff to click on” – it’s all the way at the bottom of this newsletter, so scroll down, click and let us know what you think 🙏

Let’s go!
