[In brief. A special.]
Intermission with links and recommendations.
Hello friends!
I’m not sending my Weekend Digest this weekend because several things we’ve been working on for a a long time are getting ready to be released and the focus is there. More on this soon — I will also be hosting some townhalls in the Interintellect Discord when this happens. You can join here.
Some quick notes for you:
AutumnLeaves discount code valid for Interintellect memberships until the end of the month: grab it here
If you want to become a SuperSupporter (starts at $900) I have a special hangout for you on December 3 with some extra updates
We will soon raise the price of membership tier plans. So if you always wanted to do this, now is the time. Especially because we’ll soon be entering a Grace Month when all members can go to everything for free, not just 1x per month and then use a discount for the rest... Every paid event for free. A good deal.
Derek Sivers is coming on Interintellect on February 18. He’s quite selective so this means a lot to me. And the book is great, I’ve just finished it. Hope to see you there. Tickets.
