Hey there!

Every now and then, I like to hop in and chat! I run this newsletter to share valuable information - but I want this to be more than a mere transaction.

I want this to be a community where you share your experiences with everyone else, and each reader feels driven to grow in their lives as this newsletter grows!

For now - I’ll lead by example! But, I would love for you, my friend, to hit reply and share what’s the biggest challenge you are working on right now.

This newsletter was born out of one of the most difficult times in my life. While I had all the elements of traditional success—a computer engineering degree, a job at a top tech firm, and a comfortable life—I would still not be excited to wake up in the morning. That’s when my long search for meaningful work started.

I still haven’t found the best place to work for my day job, but Rustic Flute keeps me positive and motivated. For my career, I now know that I want to work on AI and learn everything about LLMs (large language models). If you know someone who could propel me toward this goal, let me know?

Here’s how I can help you.

I want you to hit reply now and tell me one goal you are working on and what’s stopping you from achieving it.

If I get enough responses, I will anonymize and share them with this community of 2,000 people. Who knows? Maybe everything you need is only an email away!
