A thank you letter to all of you

I try to not be to overly personal on here. Nor do I try to come off as bragging when it comes to these sort of accomplishments.

I never planned forthis to be something. I never planned to reach this level of growth in just a few months. I had always planned to do something for 50,000 but honestly the level of growth you guys have enabled has been beyond what I could have ever imagined.

We were at just under 40,000 under ten days ago and now we've cracked 50,000 visits a month. That feels insane to me. It is a number I never expected to see here.

TNSR was always meant to just be a fun exercise for me, a place to write and share things easier than on here, a place when I could document things to share. I never imagined it would become so popular and that I would have the following I do now. I never expected to see my words plastered on places like The Hill Times or Globe and Mail.

Its all a bit overwhelming to be honest…

Imagine being some random person who a year ago was posting on twitter to now having a dedicated following that includes companies, CEOs, and government officials. Its all very weird to me.

I honestly dont know where to go from here. I never expected to get to this point.

That isnt for y'all though. From the bottom of my heart, thank you to everyone who has been supportive of me. I have been blessed with a wonderful support network who has elevated my content beyond what I can do myself.

I dont want to throw people out here in public...

So I hope you would understand who you are. I have a valued network who has taken the time to allow some kid to listen and learn. I am luckier than most to have a network that is always there to assist me in my journey here. Without them I wouldn't be here.

You will never understand how much respect and admiration I have for you, and how cherished I am for the friendships and family you have given me.

And to the rest of you? Thank you for allowing some random kid to take your time, and thank you for always been there to inspire me to keep going forward, even as times get tough and I wanted to give up on things, through all the stress and burnout. Im lucky to have the community here that I do.

However I won't linger on this topic for long. There is much work to be done, more than ever and I am proudly the one man who is here to do it.
