Hey man! I learnt a lot from you when you were writing about the broad topics (e.g. when you wrote about experimenting, psychology, stress, sex, and so on). I learnt general principles around those topics.
Your fitness articles were good, and not just good, but great, but I personally needed your coaching to get through those (esp. the one about quitting caffeine without symptoms and the macronutrient experiment). I had initially done the macronutrient experiment all wrong and had to re-do it after you suggested me to repeat it, which wouldn't have happened without your coaching. And you had one article about morning routine which I couldn't get.
I enjoyed doing the energy journal that you once sent out to your mailing list long time back. Enjoyed listening to the podcasts you did, and I was eyeing one of your courses too.
Great to hear from you again Safi! How have you been doing? I ended up discontinuing the courses because I was learning so much, they no longer reflected the advice I would give my coaching clients. Coaching let me give more up to date advice incorporating all of my knowledge to date. Not sure if I'd do a course again for that reason, but maybe I'm just being a perfectionist. In any case, Substack gives me a different option for making money off my work.

Alright, whatever suits you man. I got married last year, and just a month ago, we had a baby boy!
On the fitness end, I gained a few extra pounds since my wife became pregnant (she developed an aversion to chicken and meat and started eating junk food all too much, and sometimes I ended up tagging along so that she could eat!) Long story short, my wife became worried about my extra few pounds, so we started experimenting with our meals and came up with options we could enjoy together. So I have kept my weight constant since then. Actually, my wife asked me to tell you this.
Nice work! That's how it tends to go; few people really hold their weight constant but the important thing is to course correct as soon as you seem something going wrong.
Oh man! So excited for this! Always loved your work from finding you on Medium and still have a podcast sitting (that's still relevant as it's mostly Evergreen) that I will be releasing soon. I did a shift in my brand focus and now will be releasing older stuff over the coming months that wasn't quite in alignment.
Looking forward to reading your writings. Again, big fan and thanks for coming on my podcast!
Substack sounds like the perfect platform for your writing, John! Looking forward to reading your articles :-)

Yes, until I figure out how I can loose it back, I'm trying to keep it at least constant.
