What is up everyone? This is Alex Lieberman, co-founder and CEO of Morning Brew,

explained what they mean and how they were. And so, you know, 30 minutes before this

recording I was talking to Morning Brews Managing Editor Neil Freiman about the engagement that

we've gotten on this piece since the Brew went out less than 12 hours ago. the one piece that Alex wrote already has 23,000 clicks and is the most clicked link in our

newsletter today. I don't know how many links we typically have in our newsletter.
