Pathless Survey

Hey all! Thanks for taking the time to share info here. This will help me think through how to spend my time in 2026. For seven years, I've really just written this newsletter by following my curiosity. This has worked but I'm feeling that it might be worth shaking things up a bit and adding a little more structure or value to the newsletter (thinking less about my creative journey 100% and more around "how can I support people that follow along")
Don't worry - I'll still stubbornly follow my curiosity but this will give me fun ideas to explore...
