Join Me in a "Cabin in the Woods" This Summer
Hey friends!
When I hit pause on my newsletter in April, I promised that I’d only email if I had something exciting to share.
Well, that time’s now.
The past quarter, I’ve been heads down working on Cabin, building our media team, and helping steward all the amazing content creators in our community.
From July 1-28 2022, I’ll be hosting a writer’s residency in our Austin Cabins — the same program that launched my career in web3.
And if you’re getting this email, I’m inviting you to apply!
Some quick details:
- You don’t have to be in crypto, web3, or a DAO. I’m looking for 4 of the most interesting, committed, and underrated online writers I can find, regardless of what they write about.
- The focus of the residency is to give you the space to write and ship. Because of this, we’ll have some curated workshops but the schedule will be very light with lots of white space to think.
- The program is free. If your application is chosen, all you have to do is get yourself to Austin and we’ll take care of the rest. 🙂
Check out all the details here (including why we’re doing this, how to apply, and FAQs) .
Note: In previous residencies, including mine, the DAO voted on who got to go. For this one, it’s just me. I’ll personally be going through all the Twitter applications to hand-pick the 4 writers for the July residency. So if you say that you’re applying from my newsletter, then you’re already ahead of the general applications. :D
Feel free to email me back with questions! Excited for the chance to meet y’all in person. :)
Yours,

Hey friends, Short announcement email today. As the subject line hints, I’ve decided to slow down my email/essay publishing cadence. Instead of weekly on Fridays, I’ll send you an email whenever I have something interesting to share. This is a big decision for me. I’ve written a weekly newsletter for almost 8 years now. Over that time, I built up a writing habit, got my note-taking systems together, and enjoyed writing as a way to think more clearly. But I realized that things have changed...
Hey friends, This past month I've been testing what it would be like to be full time in web3. This schedule is the product of all that testing. If you're curious about what a week working in web3 looks like — imo it's not that different from a knowledge worker at a web2 job —here it is. And with that, here's your weekend reading: A Week in the Life of a DAO Core Contributor March 25, 2022 As facilitator of the Media Guild, I'm responsible for all the content and marketing that Cabin puts out....
Cal Newport on Seasonal Productivity, Blank Schedules & Adventure Time March 19, 2022 This week, I listened to an interview Cal Newport did on The Tim Ferriss Show. Cal's written 7 books. He's a contributor to The New Yorker, blogs 2-3 times a week, and is a tenured professor at Georgetown University. I've been following him for 10 years at this point and so far, I don't think this guy has ever burnt out. In contrast, I've had several major and minor cases of burn out in the same span of...
