Decision

Adam Gillman chose Option B for his newsletter direction (from the two-direction doc Michael sent).

Michael confirmed and looped in Blake Emal to begin writing.

Next steps (per thread)

  • Blake Emal to write and deliver the first issue next week (no rush to push it this week)
  • Ben to handle automation email/poll templates once content direction is confirmed
  • Ben and Blake to align on newsletter name and one-liner after path is confirmed
  • Brand design: Michael handles it Friday (Oct 3) - needed before first issue goes out

Context

Michael had been OOO; Adam was waiting. Michael sent two newsletter directions; Adam responded within the day. Blake had already noted (in the parallel megaphone thread) that he is ready to start writing once Michael approves.
