2) Your Invitation To Orbit Advisors đȘ
The main motivation for todayâs email is to invite you to a different newsletter (ironic).
Both Louisâ Learnings and The Louis & Kyle Show were launched when I was a college student who simply wanted to learn about business and do *something* to progress towardâs one day being an entrepreneur.
Now that Iâm ~2-years deep into the land of self-employment, growing my businesses has taken priority over these personal content projects.
If you want to stay in the loop on that journey, Iâd encourage you to join the Orbit Advisors Newsletter đȘ.
This is an informal group of family, friends, mentors, and advisors. We'll email you with periodic updates about our plans and progress at Orbit Metrics and Inbox Ghosts. (More detailed info below).
There's no expectation for any participation if you do opt-in. Feel free to lurk, or feel free to put in your two-cents and offer helpful introductions. Choose your own adventure, if you will.
If you like the sound of this, sign up here.
