A Thousand Thanks


Hi Everyone,

Last week, we hit a major milestone—over 1,000 people have signed up for Friday Forward Premium. When I moved Friday Forward to Substack almost exactly a year ago, one of my chief goals was to create additional content exclusively for my most engaged readers, growing a community of people committed to upping their leadership game, personally and professionally. I am extremely grateful to everyone who has supported my work, allowing me to turn a passion into a vocation and spend more time writing.

On Saturday, the price of an annual subscription will increase to $55 per year for new subscribers, so this is your last chance to sign up at the old price and save 10% for the life of your subscription. Premium subscribers get access to The Leadership Minute, a weekly tactical leadership series, new on demand webinars, and the full Friday Forward archive. Plus, most people can expense their subscription: Join Today With 10% Off

New on the Elevate Podcast

One of the most illuminating books I have read in the past five years is Tribe, Sebastian Junger’s fascinating deep dive into tribalism’s role in human behavior. A couple weeks ago, I finally had the opportunity to host Sebastian on the Elevate Podcast to talk about Tribe, his breakout book The Perfect Storm, and his latest book, In My Time of Dying, which tells the harrowing story of a near-death experience that prompted him to explore the concept of the afterlife.

Starting a new leadership role? Don’t miss this week’s episode with Michael Watkins. Michael wrote what is considered the bible for any leader or manager starting a new role, The First 90 Days, and he shared a ton of insights into successful leadership transitions, strategic thinking and much more.

Finally, be sure to subscribe to the Elevate Podcast on your favorite platform to catch our Fall season of episodes, featuring Annie Duke, Greg Lukianoff, a return appearance from Patrick Lencioni and some other fun surprises.

I hope you have a great start to your summer.

-Bob

Hi Everyone, I hope many of you are enjoying the first flowers of the spring, and some warming weather, if you live in the Northern Hemisphere. I also hope you’ve had the opportunity to spend more time outside these past few weeks. In case you missed it, I shared a story about a remarkable Lyft ride in a recent Friday Forward—thanks to everyone who sent in their feedback or shared their own similar stories vulnerably with me. Also, don’t miss the latest episode of the Elevate Podcast, where I...

Hi Everyone, In the Northern Hemisphere, the second quarter of the year is when people have, for centuries, planted seeds for the crops that will sustain them later in the year. Take that as a metaphor: whatever you’re trying to achieve this year, the planning (or procrastination) phase should be done, or that goal is probably not happening this year. For me, the last few months have been all about the launch of Elevate Your Team. Thank you to everyone who supported the launch of the book. I...
