I'm so glad you listened to the episode! I love the fact that scale isn't always the goal!

First book draft sent to my publisher for review... it's getting real!!!

hiiiiiiii I'm so glad we get to be connected here. I need to figure out how to make a Deeper Business Membership Bluesky starter pack now that the platform has picked up!

This reminds me of the days that the gurus would tell you to set up a bunch of other emails and buy your products from those other emails so you'd have "receipts."

Great piece, as per usual. And thank you for sending out your newsletters on a platform where I can share the URL. I shared this week's post on "making your own recommendation network" in my community.

Why does Google think that if I didn’t want Gemini in my workspace that I’ll want MORE Gemini in NotebookLM Plus??

Jessica Lackey @jessicalackey.bsky.social · 23/01/2025

I think you can make LinkedIn Lists in the platform.

LOVED this piece. Excited to be connected to what’s next through your work.

I was late to instagram for business, so I put up a static grid a year ago, removed the app from my phone, and peaced. I probably won’t delete my accounts, but I’ll certainly never go back to posting or spending any time there. (The neighborhood HOA Facebook group being an exception.)

Ezra Klein’s podcast today gave me a new phrase: we’re in an attention oligopoly. Where the currency of power isn’t money, it’s attention. Makes me even more concerned with where and how I spend my attention these days.

Jessica Lackey @jessicalackey.bsky.social · 18/01/2025

I loved that piece. I see the need for the digital water cooler, I just wonder if personally people might be pulling back from phones and social media more generally. I can tell my attention is more fractured when I spend time on any social media app, even like a Substack.

Jessica Lackey @jessicalackey.bsky.social · 18/01/2025

Maybe! But also are the people that used to be frequently on old Twitter going to be on any app as frequently? Or will they long to have reclaimed their attention from any of these platforms?

I asked support to enable the ability to turn Gemini Workspace off. It took a few minutes in chat, but way less than the hours it seemed to take people yesterday - I asked via the admin help portal. They told me "it's permanent" like that wasn't a selling point. And it has worked!

Jessica Lackey @jessicalackey.bsky.social · 17/01/2025

I do not want Google to even offer to summarize my emails. I turned off Gemini in the admin console…. anyone find a valid working suggestion to make it go away in mail and docs???

Oooooof. Oh since you’re here, what platform is your main Lex Roman website on - is it Ghost?

Are you sending out the recording of your newsletter workshop from today?

The bots have now come for BlueSky…. Blocked more fake accounts today than in the past two months.

Too many of my audience has ignored platform decline - they continue to want to grow their customer base on the ensh*ttified platforms. I’m excited to share this with them!

Jessica Lackey @jessicalackey.bsky.social · 04/01/2025

I don’t set annual goals, not really. I have my arc for the year, and know the 2-3 big levers that change my life and/or business. And then set specific projects for the next quarter. Like this quarter, I’m rebranding my business and finishing my book draft! All in service of leverage.

110

Jessica Lackey @jessicalackey.bsky.social · 01/01/2025

Mine is leverage. What can I create or do so that the things I do in my life and business stacks together for momentum. I’m after long-term resilience, which means as a soloist I need to be focused on less, better, and compounding effort.

I’m really enjoying the Ladder app if you need a routine and motivation.

I was at McKinsey when something similar happened. Anyone else remember Ranjit’s laptop? Of course, within a day, some analyst put together a deck about the wasted money by analyzing the response rate and response time. It was glorious.

Jessica Lackey @jessicalackey.bsky.social · 30/12/2024

I’m not taking client calls but handling the admin and cleanup that never quite gets done when I have clients. Plus next years financial forecast.

Which apps are you using for tracking workouts and weight?

Jessica Lackey @jessicalackey.bsky.social · 28/12/2024

Congrats! That’s what I hope my same chart will look like next year. The business is working (so far), and I am taking the next year to focus on my health.

I’m not a parent but the resurgence of non-smart phones, with just dialing and some texting seems to be coming back for all ages.

Jessica Lackey @jessicalackey.bsky.social · 26/12/2024

I think I’m on like 3 of your lists? More? Lol. I like reading all of what you write!

Jessica Lackey @jessicalackey.bsky.social · 19/12/2024

I loved the article and the response. I heard about crystallized wisdom in “Strength to Strength”. What’s not often mentioned as well is that in your 40s, adult children often have to pick up elder care responsibilities, which further strains our capacity.

All I really want right now is a week to just rewatch procedural shows with a quippy lead: 911 Lonestar, The Rookie. Maybe go back and finish White Collar or Burn Notice. Missing “blue skies” TV.

Im going to throw an “unconference” in Charlotte next fall centering connections, not speakers. Hopefully I can convince you to drive up and meet IRL

I feel like creators only making money from platforms will implode. But with the advent of SO MUCH CONTENT (thanks, AI), I believe creators who have a back end business will flourish because of the need to sensemake all the available info. YouTube and Substack are good ways to earn trust.

Jessica Lackey @jessicalackey.bsky.social · 08/12/2024

Well you know that at least one person mentions your name in rooms you aren’t in regularly lol

Jessica Lackey @jessicalackey.bsky.social · 08/12/2024

And content that’s ephemeral doesn’t help. It’s the pieces that get shared and shared and shared that build deeper trust.

Spotify wrapped is like 15 slides about music and 1 about podcasts. And I listen to the same 4 playlists over and over while I work for years. But I want to know how I rank as a podcast listener on my favorite shows!!
