A man with a different life
Hi friend,
I’m near Tucson as I write this, visiting at my dad’s place in the general spirit of celebrating Thanksgiving.
I am doing this before Thanksgiving because very little this year has happened the way I’d expected. You book a flight, things change, but you’ve still got the ticket, bought by a man with a different life. So it goes.
My accidental East coast home of the moment means a long flight to get here, which I’m not loving. And my internal sleep clock, which adapted admirably all year, even on an international trip, has decided: “Eff you, not moving.” So I’m a bit wigged.
This is all to say I’m not quite sure what I’m trying to say today. It’s Friday, when I tend to send these letters, and I’ve used some of my layover time and sleep chaos energy to make a few new things happen, like the Job Search Strategy Jam event coming up, that I thought you might like to know about.
Perhaps that is enough.
Hope you’re well, friend. Do write back if you’d like; insomnia loves company.
Until next time,
Scott
Upcoming Talks & Workshops
God laughed as I published my full workshop calendar for 2023. Four different workshops, identical pricing and formats, across 12 total opportunities. If your training/learning budget is in chaos right now, fret not; you can save your spot and pay later, no obligation.
The Content Ecosystem Mapping workshop happening yet this year starts soon, on November 29. The code LateIsTheNewEarly puts it back at early bird pricing this weekend, just $695.
As mentioned above, the Content Job Search Strategy Jam event is happening on December 6. If you’re in the job market against your will, don’t miss it.

📚 Reading
- Still Devil House, by John Darnielle. I’m a slow reader. 🤷🏻♂️But I knocked out a few more chapters on my recent flights!
📺 Watching
- Supernatural to its end, finally. The final season didn’t do a lot for me personally, but I’ll say this: it was 100% the show that it was, all the way to the last moments of the last episode. Now how long until this Kansas song is out of my head?
🧑🎤 Listening
- To the remix album RTJ CU4TRO, which is bananas, in a good way.
