The next evolution of this newsletter is here!

After quitting my job in venture capital a month ago to go full-time writing this newsletter and getting so much incredible positive feedback from readers, I’m making a shift to turn this into something I can sustain for a long time.

Starting with the July 2nd edition of the newsletter, only paid subscribers will get full access every week to all editions. Free subscribers will still receive the newsletter editions in their entirety 1-2 times per month.

In addition, paid subscribers will get access to the Just Go Grind community, where founders connect with each other, get help building their companies, and are able to access curated resources.

If you subscribe by the end of the day this Friday, June 23rd, you’ll save 25% for the first year of your subscription - $149.25/year or $14.25/month.

I launched this newsletter in December of 2022 and since then it has grown to more than 14,000 subscribers. When I started it, I just wanted to get back into writing again while I still had a full-time job. As it grew and I began writing about world-class founders every week, it became something I thought I could go full-time on.

Feedback like this from readers makes me believe in the quality of the content and gives me the confidence to take this next step:

And I continue to see more of these responses on Twitter and in my newsletter poll every week.

So, what’s actually changing?

For free readers, you will still get the newsletter every week, but you’ll only have full access to 1-2 new editions every month. The other editions will only be available in their entirety to paid subscribers.

Paid subscribers also get:

• Full access to all newsletter editions, including the entire archive

• Access to the Slack community

• Subscriber-only AMAs and events

• Additional bonuses over time

Why subscribe?

To become a better founder, investor, or operator.

The Just Go Grind newsletter features deep dives on world-class founders every week, sharing their tactics, strategies, and stories, all to help inspire you and make you better at what you do.

Each week I spend 20-25 hours researching and writing about one founder, sharing a cohesive story with key insights with you every Sunday.

Recent editions include:

• The Incredible Business of Taylor Swift

• Michael Rubin's Sports Empire

• Rachel Drori, the Healthy Food Innovator

• Tyler Perry: The Prolific Billionaire Media Mogul

• The Genius of Whitney Wolfe Herd

And I’ll be testing new formats in addition to the founder deep dives in the coming months. I want this to be the most valuable newsletter you subscribe to!

What does this cost?

Normally it’s $199/year or $19/month.

I’m giving 25% off for the first year for those who subscribe by the end of the day Friday.

You’ll pay - $149.25/year or $14.25/month.

When is the change starting?

This week’s edition will be completely free and accessible to everyone.

Next week, the July 2nd edition will only be available in full for paid subscribers.

Free subscribers will still get 1-2 editions per month.

If you’ve gotten any value at all from this newsletter or even just want to support the work I’m doing, please consider becoming a paid subscriber, it’d mean the world to me. I know this change will upset some people (I hope that means I’ve created something valuable), but it’s a move I’m making to be able to continue to serve you, the reader, for a long time to come.

Thanks,

Justin
