What's up everyone, welcome back to another episode of Founders Journal.

I'm your host Alex Lieberman, co-founder and executive chairman of Morning Brew.

Before we hop into the show, I have a 10 second favor to ask of you.

We have tons of new listeners to the podcast, and my goal is to get to know as many of you

as humanly possible.

Either before you start the episode or right after you finish, shoot me an email to

Alex at Morning Brew.com.

If you want the easiest option, just say hi, hi in the subject line, and I will respond

getting the conversation going.

If you're trying to be a little bit more ambitious, maybe the 32nd option, shoot me an email

to Alex at Morning Brew.com, and tell me a little bit about yourself and why it is that

you listen to Founders Journal.

I'm specifically giving this request to all of you people that have thought about writing

to me in the past, but you felt like you're a little bit too busy or you told yourself

you were going to do it later, but never did it, please send me an email I would love

to chat with you.

Now, I can't wait to get to know many of you over the coming days, but for today's

episode, it is time for a true Founders Journal.

So in the spirit of a true Founders Journal, I gave myself a prompt.

I asked myself one very simple question, and then let my mind and my pen do the rest.

My journal prompt was, Alex, what's top of mind as you reflect on your week?

Let's hop into it.
