In celebration of 2000 subscribers: come join + grow the "Builder's Mindset" community

Because it's better to build with friends

Thank you for reading Building the Builders and supporting my efforts to raise humanity’s psychological ceiling. Now that we’re over 2000 subscribers strong, I believe we may have the early makings of the kind of robust, builder-centric online community I dreamt of when starting this newsletter: one capable of nurturing the builder’s mindset and multiplying the authentic ambition of all its individual members.

To test this hypothesis, I invite you all to join the experiment I’ve been quietly running with a group of 30ish pioneering community members to date: the Builder’s Mindset curated online community. I expect it will evolve a great deal over the coming weeks and months as it expands to include many more of you, so if the idea of getting to shape something like this from its early days appeals to you, now’s the time to get on board.

How to join the community:

1. For instant access, become a paid subscriber to this newsletter.

2. My current plan is to open up the community to all subscribers in March 2023, so if you’re a free subscriber, stay tuned for an update around that time.

How to grow the community (and get referral benefits):

The other way you can participate in growing and shaping this community, of course, is by spreading the word: if you enjoy Building the Builders, it would mean the world to me if you invited other thoughtful, ambitious builders like yourself to read it and subscribe. As thanks, you can now earn free access to special referral benefits by following the steps below.

1. Share Building the Builders. When you use the referral link below, or the “Share” button on any post, you'll get credit for any new subscribers. Simply send the link in a text, email, or share it on social media with friends.

2. Earn benefits. When more friends use your referral link to subscribe, you’ll receive special benefits.
