Wonderful idea and thank you for sharing the song that was played for Jermey.

I am downloading the video and will play it in honor of him tonight when I go to watch the sunset from the Mayan pyramid near the place Im staying. 🪷

Look at you! I’m so impressed with what With Gusto is becoming. Your voice is so clear across everything you’re doing inside this container you’ve built and are building. It’s a beautiful thing to see. Inspiring, truly. A testament to finding a purpose that suits your gifts and being brave enough to share it all with the world.

Coming from someone brave enough to be up on stage alone, this means something. It can certainly be nerve wracking to share your creations with the public, but I've been lucky to find another community of resonance and respect. Thanks for your unwavering support, Angel - you da bomb!

Oooh yeah, I’m a fan of this already. Notes & Nuggets 🐶🎶 Just another thoughtful way to engage with your community. And a fun way to pass along your work to people who might be interested (as I often want to do) 👏🏼

Putting anything on a schedule immediately feels 😳, but I also think it might be a fun and different way to be creative with my some of my stuff. We gonna find out!

Ashlie Woods's avatar

I know. But you might be surprised at what having that commitment will evoke 🤷🏻‍♀️ You’re right. We about to find out, aren’t we?! 😆

Steal it - let all your readers see your Notes!

Such a great idea, Adrian!!

Great idea! I love roundaups!

Patricia Krohn's avatar

Love this idea. Please keep doing it. I rarely scroll the Notes part of substack and miss all this goodness. My favorite was the Allergic to red. Hell yeah

Adrian Landin's avatar

Ah-choo! 🇺🇸🤧

Michelle Ray's avatar

This is a great idea! I’m going to steal it.

Curious now, but I don’t know what your former something was.

Not sharing a bi-weekly collection of my Notes!

Jennifer Haddock's avatar

Such a smart idea. I might imitate you because I have the same exact problem!! 💕 thanks 🙏 for the inspo

Adrian Landin's avatar

Paid subs not getting all our stuff kinda defeats the purpose, ya know?

Laurie Forrest Moy's avatar

I’ll be watching to see how it works for you. I agree sometimes it feels like time and effort put into notes is lost into the ether

Adrian Landin's avatar

I've been there. Writing into the abyss of Notes will definitely thicken the skin!

Awesome idea brother.

Orale, Pepe. 🤙🏼

I like it Adrian! Will be fun to see how this resonates (early comments indicate well). 💙

Adrian Landin's avatar

Do you also sometimes struggle with choosing if a share should be a Note or Newsletter?

Linda Jackson 🌏's avatar

More and more these days.

I love this SO much. As a consistent re-reader (who might, at times, forget what I intended to reread 🤪) you will be doing some leg work for me! Packaging it up with re-delivery. Thank you. Brilliant! 🙌🏽

Adrian Landin's avatar

And like Amazon Prime, it's free delivery. 🥁

Maybe we can say, With Gusto Supreme...

NO BESOS 4 BEZOS!

Great idea, Adrian. I'm generally in the Substack app often enough to catch most of your notes, but this will ensure I get the chance to read all of them. Notes and the social chatter that ensue among Substack writers are the most fun part about being here.

Adrian Landin's avatar

I always appreciate your reflections, Elaine. The new email series might be a recap for you with the Notes, but the Nuggets will be a nice little surprise.

Elaine Symanski's avatar

Well, really, who does not like Nuggets?
