4 things to cheer you up 😀
Changes are afoot in our content.
You’ll notice that the format of our Monday Morsels is different. After significant feedback from a variety of people, it seems that curated links across a multitude of topics is more valued. Furthermore, we’re overwhelmed with the abundance of amazing articles we’re coming across each week. This diffuses the frustration of not being able to include certain points. It will also allow us to get to work on some video essays we’ve been planning, keep your eyes peeled.
We’re also starting to receive and allow requests for guest posts. So if you feel that you could write an interesting piece on that’s around 500–800 words — email me personally (jordan@neuralle.com). Remember that we typically focus on evergreen content that allows an individual to perform better in their work/sport/passion, we also cover enhancement topics too. We’ll have a feature page for this on the site soon.
What’s the benefit for you? Take your pick:
- Access to our network through the newsletter & blog
- Free editorial feedback
- Potential payment, depending on the quality of the writing
- Receive the benefits of building the Human Intelligence community with us
