Back in the Lab

Is blogging back? That’s the story I’ve told myself and shared with others for nearly two years now.

In August of 2022, on a whim to do something different again (because of an acute case of shiny object syndrome), I opened a Substack account and posted the first blog post I’d written in several years.

I wrote one post, then another, and then another. Before I knew it, I had a small streak going, and it felt good, but I had no idea where I was headed with the blog.

The blog turned into a newsletter whose only objective was to write and not care about what got shared, but that’s not an excellent strategy for gaining subscribers.

By September, I pivoted, turning the newsletter into a resource for creative business owners. I called it The Hungry because while a starving artist blames the system for their lack of success, a Hungry artist looks for answers on how to win.

I love publishing that newsletter weekly because I know people learn and grow from what gets shared. One thing I don’t feel comfortable sharing there, though, is my personal journey because The Hungry is about your story, not mine.

I still have stories to tell, and while The Hungry is about sharing big ideas, this will be about how I’m executing those ideas as they apply to the work I’m making, whether that’s art, writing, digital products, or whatever else comes in the future.

Another difference is that while The Hungry is published weekly, this newsletter will be published on a more relaxed schedule. Expect to see me in your inbox once or twice a month, depending on when the impulse hits me.

Oh, and though DaveConrey.com is under construction now, I have a plan for what will be there in the future, and I’ll probably talk about it the next time you hear from me.

Until then, thanks to anyone who took the time to see this post.

Cheers,

Dave Conrey
