Congratulations Lenny. I once read your story on Entrepreneur while you were doing an interview with Jason Feifer on March this year. I was so inspired by your determination and how COVID-19 turned to be a blessing for you to focus on your newsletter after getting laid as a product manager from Airbnb. You said you started on Medium and then slowly built your audience through 4-pronged phases until you launched paid subscription. You talked the same things that you told Jason that quality and consistency are attributes that grow your newsletter. Since then I launched my newsletter on June and I have had promising growth over the last three months. I think I share the same story with you and I hope one day, we will talk about it. Congratulations again on that remarkable milestone.
Thank you for all your incredibly insightful content Lenny. And thank you for answering my question(s) via email; crazy to me that, with such a large audience, you still take the time to offer your help and answer emails.
Congratulatons! These are great insights. I am surprised that the community isn’t part of this evaluation. It’s the reason I recommend the newsletter, but maybe I’m an outlier?
Congrats Lenny. 'm one of the first 1,000. I started HomeHak.com with your advice and guidance as the playbook and soundtrack for our journey so far. Top quality, relatable, accessible and inspiring. I've found other superb experts like Elena Verna through your newsletter. Continued success to you👏🙌.
What an amazing journey! You’re an inspiration to many of us, Lenny (myself included) 🙌

You are, too, Kyle! ⚡️
Huge congrats on hitting 0.5 million, Lenny!
In Europe that could be a country and you would be the president!
(or a king- we do both 😂).
Kudos 💕 you freaking rock!
Frightening!
did you mean fascinating or I do not need a country to be the king 😁?
KICK. ASS. 🎉
Your newsletter is like the Beyoncé of Substack now. Keep those amazing insights coming!

"Follow your energy" love that one. Congrats on your journey.
