I expect you to bring some heat.

Hopefully Substack doesn't kick us out afterwards 😂.

I'll keep it PG for sure. Lol

I love this movement Daniel! Can't wait to see what happens. How are you choosing the writers?

Hey Landon! Man... can't thank you enough for dropping a note and asking a great question! So far, we're inviting writers that we've interviewed in the past out of respect.

They've already invested they're time into the community, and this is a small way of saying thank you. The four writers I mentioned have all done Substack Lives with us.

Moving forward, though, anyone can send a pitch to daniel@indiethinkers.com, and we'll accept writers based on the criteria here: https://www.indiethinkers.com/start

If you have feedback or suggestions, let us know! Open to making changes and being clearer, more transparent. We want to be fair but also publish great work.

Much appreciated Philip! Trust has to be earned.

This is such a beautiful and generous idea brother.

If I can be of service, count me in.

Thanks Jamal, it's a labor of love.

All I ask is for a guest lecture from you later this fall 😄.

Jamal Robinson's avatar

Done! And I appreciate the extended deadline 🤣🙏🏽

Proper indie support 🥹 thanks Daniel!

Absolutely! And like I said, we’re not trying to dwarf individual voices and brands, but to create more opportunities for such things to survive and thrive.
