## Resource

Today’s live was phenomenal! Please listen to the podcast version while you’re cooking this weekend or walking or running or whatever. In my live with the amazing Austin Kleon reminded me that on Substack, we’re writing news- letters . I wanted an expert in letter writing to share how exactly the principles of letter writing could help us be better writers on Substack and write more engaging Substack articles. Lindsay Hurty offered a wealth of advice on how we can use letters and the act of letter writing in many different ways to nurture our subscribers and write better Substack articles. (You can subscribe to her Substack here .) Be sure to listen, too, because the story she tells in the beginning will (if I have anything to do with it) someday be a viral TED Talk.
