Read Time: Lenghty innit :)
We hit 15k subs on the newsletter {{ first name | Gang }}…what the frickkk!
It feels like just yesterday when I was sending emails to like 50 people on my make-shift Wix website, and now we have 15 thousand people in here 🤯
#roadto50k by the end of the year is in full effect, and I am going to launch an official referral programme from next week to get things going. In the meantime, if you like this newsletter, do me a favour and give us a little shoutout on socials. Tag me @corporatesteve 🫶🏾
Shoutout to our newsletter researcher Isobel for bagging a new corporate gig, Sam for plugging the newsletter on IG, Derek who I saw in midweek service, Andre for shouting us out on LinkedIn, and the girl I saw in Holborn yesterday who blurted out: “I LOVE YOUR TIKTOKS 🤪”
Alright, let’s get this show on the road!
