🍋 Issue #27 - Reboot and Restart
Refreshing my newsletter with added personal posts, liked links, business updates, and snapshots of my life!
Welcome to issue #27 !
Some of you might remember way back in late December, 2023 when I said:
I'll resume sending thoughts out over the email wire the first week of 2024.
Woops! Let's change that to being "fall-ish of 2025". And with fall comes a bit of housecleaning and refresh of what I’m using this newsletter for.

What’s Changing?
Nothing drastic is happening with the newsletter, I’ve just felt like I need to refocus why I write and publish this newsletter.
So here’s the new sections I’m going to try on for size here:
Words I Wrote
In this section I'll post links to blog posts or social media posts I published in the past week. Part self promotion (which I'm terrible at) and part motivation to do more writing since I'll need to fill this section. For example:
Linking to Likes
As above, except other people's creative things that I enjoyed enough to share. YouTube videos, blog posts, podcast episodes—whatever I've enjoyed or found interesting over the last few weeks.
📰 The Decline of Deviance - Unconventional behavior and bold new ideas are becoming rarer.
📰 The Last Days of Social Media - Social media is being overrun by AI spam and drowning out real human connection.
📺 The State of AI Industry is Freaking Me Out - Hank Green follows the money.
This Week at Lemon Productions
Borrowing from Aaron Francis' newsletter's theme, I thought I'd throw a section to talk about the work I do running my own business as a podcast editor / producer.
It's not always easy to talk about client work when it’s not public yet, but I thought I'd link to episodes I found interesting, or fun things happening in podcasting that I come across.
“What Motivates Chris to Keep Working on CodePen” - ShopTalk Show #684
“Are You as Self-Aware as You Think?” - LiftingLindsay #198
“The Power of Exuberance with Rebecca Garza-Bortman” - Wake Up Excited! #6
“Just today alone, 3,406 podcasts were launched whose cover art contained podcast paraphernalia despite the contents of the shows having nothing to do with microphone equipment. Do you know where your clients are?!” - @Ariellethisandthat
Picture From My Life
I’ll carry over the picture from my life section from the previous newsletter format because it was a great way to force me to get off my chair and out of the house to take a picture worth sharing.
Be curious. Not judgmental. 💖
If you’ve got a question, suggestion, or comment about anything in this email - hit reply and send me a message! 💖 Until next week-ish - thanks for reading!
