What's up everyone, this is Alex Lieberman, the co-founder and executive chairman of Morning

Brew.

Welcome back to Founder's Journal, my personal audio diary where I give you the business

builder, the tools you need to think better in order to build better, whether that's building

a business, a team, or a new product.

Today, I'm doing something called Founder's mailbox.

Over the last several weeks, we've had tons of new listeners and with that have come

tons of DMs on Twitter, tons of emails to my email, Alex at MorningBrew.com, asking

about the show, asking about my views on entrepreneurship, the greatest things happening behind the scenes

at Morning Brew, trends that I'm into, and so what I decided to do was compile a list

of several of the questions I got from listeners and answer them on this episode.

I kind of think of it like Blues Clues, but for entrepreneurship.

Over the next several minutes, I'm going to bring up questions, I'll call out the listener,

I'll answer those questions and my hope is that for the thousands of new listeners that

have come to the show in the last month, because the last month was the biggest month of

the show ever, I'm going to tell you a little bit more about myself, answer some listener

questions, and hit the ground running in August, so let's do this thing.

Okay, founders mailbox, I think it's the first time we've done this, well, actually I

did an AMA back like, I want to say almost a year ago, when we were just starting this

show, it wasn't really a legit thing, it was just a side project, but I think founders

mailboxes, it may turn into a staple, because I think it's a good way to share my point

of view on a number of topics that listeners want to know about, it's also good incentive
