📩 Quick Question for You

I’m shaking things up today and need your help.

Happy Tuesday friends, ☕️

How are those Will Smith memes treating you?

After writing 70 issues of the PBB, I wanted to drop a fun question. I started this project a year and a half ago and I want to keep it going for the next decade.

Ambitious, I know. But I see it as a neat public challenge to document ideas.

I’ve learned a lot since day 1 and my favourite part has been the relationship I get to build with readers:

• the ideas you run with

• the experiments you try out

• the frameworks that help your week

But with any relationship, honesty is key. So this is where we have a heart to heart.

If you hate something in the newsletter, I need to know.

And if you want a topic covered, I’m all ears. I read every email that comes in.

So today, I’m skipping the topic and going straight to the ask.

I want to give every reader a chance to vote for a topic.

My goal is to make the newsletter something you love to read:

And to keep it short and sweet so you don’t respond like this: 

So I want to toss you the mic.

What’s a topic you’d like covered?

Here’s some lines to riff on ideas:

• What’s a topic your team wants you to know by next week?

• Has a client asked you something you wish you knew more about?

• What’s something no book has ever taught you but wish it did?

• What did a podcast cover that you want more advice on?

Here’s some ideas readers have sent me currently in the hopper:

• Pros of Twitter vs LinkedIn

• How to build memorable relationships online

• Best mental models to develop a storytelling engine

• Public speaking and interviewing techniques 

• How to position digital products in 2022

• Non-slimy monetization methods for content creators

So here’s my ask to you.

Reply to this email or drop me a note at hello@joelhansen.com with an answer to:

What’s 1 topic or 1 guest you’d like to learn about in 2022?

If you can do that, you’ll make my year.

Sound like a plan?

Stay outta’ trouble and catch you next week.

✌🏻 Joel
