☀️ Why, hello there.
Here we are again. Saturday.
If you’re reading this on Saturday morning itself, I’m about halfway up a mountain right now freezing my giblets off in the chill Irish air. I’ll share photographic evidence later, all being well (of the mountain… THE MOUNTAIN!).
As always, please find below a curated selection of links to articles I think you’ll like. I’m also inviting you to take a quick look back on January here in the publication, just in case you missed something juicy.

What to expect next week
On Tuesday, I’ll share an interview with an independent publisher here in the UK. It’ll be free for all subscribers so make sure to check it out.
On Thursday, paid subscribers will receive a piece from me focusing on how to create and maintain an evergreen content generation loop. It’s an approach I use all the time and I think you’ll find it useful.
And of course, at the weekend you can settle down with Saturday Morning Coffee Edition #6 (I don’t know about you, but I’m enjoying them so far!). ☕
Thanks for stopping by, folks!
As usual, please leave a comment below telling everyone what you’re up to today, and give this post a quick restack if you can.
Have a brilliant Saturday! 😊
