Dear friends,
My latest post hinted at my future plans to dive deeply into self-employment and building a sustainable business from scratch. After a few months of pondering, in which time had crawled to a stop, I am happy to announce that something is finally happening! In what seemed like a last-minute change of events, I simultaneously quit my job and filed papers for setting up a small business. It is both scary and exciting, but I feel like the end of such a year is the best time to start something new.
I am pondering many ways how to deliver value to people, but I will also have to use my time wisely. Thus, dear reader, I have a question to you. Is this newsletter valuable to you? Do you see this moving forward? Please, let me know.
Happy holidays,
Preslav

Brené with Jason Sudeikis & Brendan Hunt on Ted Lasso | Unlocking Us with Brené Brown
“As the self-appointed president of the TLFC (Ted Lasso Fan Club), it was a blast to talk to Jason Sudeikis, the co-creator, writer, and executive producer who plays Ted Lasso, and Brendan Hunt, the co-creator and writer who plays Coach Beard on the Apple TV+ hit series. The show follows the adventures of a small-time college football coach from Kansas hired to coach a professional soccer team in England, despite having no experience coaching soccer. We talk about the show's interesting origin story, writers' room inspirations, and why intention is critical to the creative process. It's a fun conversation about a show that is unapologetically awkward, brave, and kind.”
