Jonathan here with this week's Good Life project, short and sweet riff.
So we've got a little bit of a special riff for you today.
I have a dear friend of mine who has been in town doing these really cool gatherings.
In fact, she's touring the whole country, bringing people together.
And her name is Pam Slim.
You may have heard of her before or read her many fantastic books or blog or heard her speak.
And I kind of snookered her and grabbed her and said, hey, before you leave, you want to record a quick riff so that we can share what you're up to with my community?
Because I think they would really dig it.
And she said, yes.
So without further ado, I'm going to turn this week's riff over to my dear friend Pam Slim, who, by the way, you can find@pamelaslim.com over to you, Pam.
Awesome.
Thank you, Jonathan.
Well, in 2009, I remember wandering the hallways at south by Southwest.
And in fact, I think that was the first time that I spent significant time with Jonathan.
My first book had just come out, escape from Cubicle Nation.
And on one of the days, in one of the hallways, I ran into Sunir Shah, who at that time was working for fresh books.
And he introduced me to a few friends, one, I think, from Mailchimp and from batch books.
And they were in this heated, excited conversation about how they had known about each other for a really long time.
And they were attending some sessions at south by Southwest, and they started talking and they said, you know what?
We all seem to serve a very similar client.
