Howdy Curiosity Newsletter

Get Rich Quick Hacks are for... Well, Hacks.

A Newsletter About Side Projects for Grown-Ups

How many times have you fallen into the trap of passive income newsletters trying to convince you that the key to a happy life is buying vending machines, spontaneously "just" becoming a freelance copywriter, launching your own agency, or gambling your life savings on crypto? Or that you can write and self-publish a book in a month and have it become a best seller if you just buy their (overpriced and super generic) course?

We take the opposite approach.

Building a business or a book that you're proud of is hard work. But we believe it's worth doing the right way—the smart way—and not constantly looking for hacks and shortcuts.
