The newsletter is dead. AI agents are going to read it before your subscribers do.
At least, that’s @danshipper's take. As CEO of Every, a company that writes about AI and builds AI software, Dan's about as close to the cutting edge as anyone I know.
I’ve spent 13 years building my career around email, so this was difficult to hear. But as much as I hate to admit it, I think Dan might be right.
The good news is there’s still time to adapt. In this episode, Dan shares what you can start doing now to make sure your emails still reach your audience.

Hi The Don,

Gtb
Emmanuel Oluwaponmile Faith.
I self-produce a Podcast that is focused on helping people get employed, write better CVs, ace interviews and lots more.
I also interview successful career professionals to interview the next generation and let them know that you can make it by doing legal value-adding work
I bootstrap this production myself and I need 1.5m to wrap up this season.
You can find link to the podcast and testimonials below

you just need $10m and four people from YC, a16z, Sequoia, and Founders Fund who think your startup is the next big thing, and you’ll become a unicorn.
high agency is simply having a huge sense of urgency combined with an unhealthy amount of taste.
tell me i am wrong?

The question on a lot of founders minds: What do you do when Claude enters your market?
I sat down with @alexdanilowicz from @magicpatterns to provide some thoughts and advice for founders imagining how they would react and rise to the occasion.
In addition, we talk about Magic Patterns new MagicOS launch, a design agent built for the future.
your startup should either be the first or become the best.
anything in between, expect a call from Bending Spoons.
