Hello, my long lost friend,

I am alive and moved my newsletter to substack (cause it’s free). You signed up for my original newsletter if you no longer want to receive any emails from me, please unsubscribe below

If you do want to get this email, add me to your contacts. And make sure this bad boy doesn’t go to the spam folder.

About four months ago, I stopped writing without warning.

Here’s a quick summary of what happened: I quit my job and have been focusing on chronic health issues. Soon, I will be looking for a new job (probably in DTC or B2C marketing, content, or growth).

My old newsletter was self-therapy, it was full of thoughts that were stuck in my brain and had been begging to come out

Many of you enjoyed it, but when your friends would ask, “What’s Pranav’s newsletter about?” You wouldn't know how to answer.

In today's world, creators (like me) have to put themselves in a bit of a box. We have to find a “niche” and deliver “value” within that niche to get an audience and truly help people. At the same time, we have to be unique, authentic, and undefinable.

I’m still working on exactly what that niche is, but my current idea is that in a future newsletter project, I will be talking about… how to be honest, persuasive, and authentic in a world where we’ve all become marketers.

If you stay on this newsletter, I’ll update you when that new newsletter project comes out.

But I also wanted a continuation of the old newsletter where I just write about whatever is on my mind.

So I’ll be running two newsletters in tandem. The “honest marketing newsletter” will come out sometime in fall

….and….

this current newsletter (that I’m calling “Pranav’s thoughts”) which will start with this inaugural newsletter.

This newsletter will be my online journal where I write about whatever I’m thinking about in real-time. I’ll be writing without any obligation to deliver “value” or stay on topic.

If that doesn’t sound like your cup of tea, I understand. You can unsubscribe below.

If you want to stay, expect random, philosophical, playful, super short emails delivered in a Pranav-ian way.

Excited to be back. Hope you’re excited too.

-Pranav
