next play, early opps, clay

welcome to the first edition of my newsletter! i’m really excited to start sending these out every few weeks. i’ll do my best to make these as valuable and actionable as possible for you all. if you have any feedback, reach out at any point, replies to this email go directly to me 👋 

live walkthrough

thank you to everyone who joined my notion/arc live walkthrough! here is the recording. i’d love to host more of these in the future, go deeper, dive into other areas, explore new products. let me know if that’s something you’d be interested in, open to your suggestions.

next up, i’m planning a livestream on january 29th on how I use Cron as my calendar and Superhuman for email. i’ve been using both for years and could never go back to google calendar or gmail. they both integrate with your google account and live on top of your existing accounts.

RSVP here for whichever slot works best for you.

next play

next play is here! for the past few years, we’ve been organizing dinners in tel aviv, san francisco, and new york for people who are exploring what comes next, whether that’s start something, joining something, or unsure. these gatherings are entirely off the record. the idea is to bring together the best people in their exploration phase and see what kind of magic happens. countless people have started companies together, found jobs, raised money, and built friendships over the years. we’re now bringing this concept to more cities and partnering with local hosts who will take this model and run with it.

if you know someone exploring what comes next, send them this page nextplay.so

intro

I recently hosted 1:1 office hours with a few folks from linkedin and twitter. i’m hoping to host more of these in the future on a first come first serve basis where we could chat about angel investing, productivity, community, product hunt, early stage opportunities, notion, growth strategies, influencer marketing, side projects, you name it. keep an eye out on social, in the meantime, i’m also on intro where you can book on-demand calls with me.

exploration

two products I’ve been playing around with a bunch recently.

1. clay - i’ve been on the hunt for a smart crm for years. i signed up, connected my contacts, calendar, linkedin, twitter, etc. and started getting daily suggested. where this becomes really powerful is when you create groups and set up a contact cadence, clay can then remind you to reach out to people based on your contact through your networks, lot of potential!

2. glimpse - i feel like i’m seeing the future when i’m in glimpse. i’ve been subscribed to their newsletter for years. not long ago, they came out with a chrome plugin that gives you a massive upgrade on top of google trends. so much opportunity here when it comes to identifying trends before others.

closing out

let’s connect on twitter and linkedin

if you got enjoyed this newsletter, please share it with any friends, it would mean a lot to me!
