The Collision of Fantasy and Reality
A new newsletter on startups, mental health, leadership, and culture
I love startups. They are the direct collision of fantasy and reality.
Today I’m launching a newsletter here on Substack where we’ll talk entrepreneurship, mental health, leadership, inclusivity, venture capital, angel investing, politics, America, and all things culture, both at startups and writ large.
Since I left my last job, I have been building stuff with some people I admire:
Nearing completion of a book with Penguin Random House on the largely untold side of my journey at the intersection of entrepreneurship and mental illness. It’ll be out next year and will share the updates here as we get closer.
Angel investing, mostly with underrepresented founders. Optimistic about the purpose-driven entrepreneurs I’m meeting and what it means for the future of our country. Here will talk a bit about what I’m investing in and why.
Building Monica + Andy with my fearless sister Monica. I became a dad this year, which is everything I’ve heard and better, and so I’m finally a customer, too. Family, business, family business, fatherhood: so much to say.
I’m a year in building my next startup. It’s an experience rooted in who we are versus how we look. You’ll get the first look and the play-by-play as we go.
I will endeavor for this to not feel like spam. You’re already forgiven if you unsubscribe.
If you’re reading this, how lucky we are to be alive right now.
Sending love.
Andy
