So, so proud of you two, Ayush and Aditi! I am so glad I found your newsletter, sort of by accident....

2 weeks ago, I found out about Substack via LinkedIn. It sounded too intriguing to ignore and I had to check it out. Seeing that it checked all the boxes of the kind of platform I'd been searching for, I set up an account. First, I named it 'Chariots' because it appeared as a symbol in my introductory proverb. After a few hours, I knew the name sounded too fuzzy to be effective or sustainable. So, I changed it on a whim to "The Wisdom Project." Just like that, from out of the blues. Within minutes, I had a new TWP logo, twitter header ... the full works. And that was the name for almost 48 hours!

On Day 3, I decided to search for Substack accounts with similar focus, using 'wisdom' as the keyword. And there you were -- a thriving, functional, and happy community by writers equally passionate about seeking and spreading wisdom. What are the odds?!? I took down every logo and reference to TWP so fast, I almost closed the account entirely. Now, I am enjoying the writing experience under a name that I like. And I get to connect with you and appreciate the good work you're doing, spreading quality content via your account.

Kudos for staying on for 3 years and counting. Thank you for demonstrating resilience and helping to put the process of sustaining a newsletter in perspective. I will drop by here from time to time to soak up your content. Keep up your good work, reading and writing. Blessings to you both!
