#40 - The Top 10 Exonomist Letters of 2022

The top 10 posts of 2022

Exonomist has just turned one year old, and has covered a really wide variety of topics. Thank you so much for being a subscriber, and for all of the feedback you’ve given this past year. Exonomist exists because several of you said, “Hey. You should write that down” and I’m forever thankful for those pushes; it’s helped me to rediscover something I love (writing) while adding value to the lives of others.

So what comes next? More of the same… and also some new explorations. You can expect me to probably start sharing some of the writing I do for myself around industry deep dives, new technological trends, and more custom templates for workshops, strategic planning, and life ideation + design.

Without further delay, below are the top posts, ranked by # of reads and shares.
