When I was reading this email, my finger was poised over the delete button on my phone, I couldn’t remember where I’d subscribed.

Then, you transitioned into something I’m all to familiar with, sacred cows.

As I’m sitting here typing this, it’s 5am and I’m halfway through a medical mission in one of the richest and most corrupt countries in Africa.

1. Free was limited to Kindle.

2. If I had a funnel that I knew converted on the backend, I would totally give away free physical books. That was not the case for me.

2. Follow up: Do you think swallowing that cost is worth the trade-off, or untested / probably not?

3. If you did just offer free access to ebook format, when in the process did you release softc...

Great read! I find myself drawing a comparison between the hunting of the sacred cow and Joseph Campbell’s depiction of the hero’s journey which is another continuous and often lonely process of bringing the unconscious into the conscious (or the unknown into the known).

I got the point in 500 words; I embraced the cow for all 4,000.
