Housekeeping

1. FYI - DaaS and M2D posts are automatically paywalled a week after publication.

2. DaaS is my main fundraising Substack. I’m on a mission to attract a quorum of ten subscribers/investors who either value or hate my work enough to invest $10,000-$20,000 a year in retainer-style research-driven engagements. Most of the future Open Letters will be open pitches and provocations. The way I see it, the emphasis of this Substack is shifting from the theory of Dialogue as a Service to practice. If you are more interested in theory, make sure to subscribe to MISM, M2D and BS”D.
