For all the rest of it, go to BrianDOLeary.com for more information.

If you’ve missed us on Substack, we’ve still been putting out episodes of the show. And for those who read and/or listen to us via Substack, we are going to be changing it up a little bit.

We still plan to post occasional episodes and long-commentary here on Substack, but our daily emails will come directly from me starting in the near future…probably starting Monday.

We will still be doing the daily show and I will likely post them up on Substack, but not email them going forward.

There are many reasons for this. But, like I said, we are not abandoning Substack. We will use the platform in a more strategic manner.
