This week Substack joined many other tech companies by announcing layoffs. It's not necessarily a sign that the company's struggling though but they are adapting to the market. Still it's a good time to remember that what makes email newsletters great is the portability of your audience. As long as you have your subscriber list you're not beholden to the fates of these large platforms.

And the featured newsletters this week cover podcasts, investing, deals, AI, and more!
