Hi, happy holidays for those celebrating!
I hope you’re enjoying the time off with your loved ones.
I’m also taking some time off, but before I left, I curated the best content of the year for you in this and next week’s newsletter.
In case you’re looking to catch up on some quality content during your vacation – here are the best articles I wrote in 2021.

However, their business model is not what you think it might be. Check out this article to learn how they make money.
