Good morning, happy Thursday – May 1, 2025 in the Year of the ZAO: Day 122.

Today I’m just feeling grateful — 26 years around the sun since my removal day. Every year is a gift, and I’m lucky to be spending this one out at FarCon, surrounded by people building the future.

This next year, my focus is to grow my content by spreading positivity every single day through this newsletter. It’s a small act of showing up — and I’d love for you to be part of the journey.

The ZAO is being built from the ground up — no shortcuts, no hype, just real work to create something better for independent artists in the creator economy. If you’re aligned with that mission, come build with us.

Would love for you to join in the journey with me.
