Welcome to the Hey Man Newsletter!

I've written and deleted about a dozen introductions to the Hey Man Newsletter. I've tried to define it in a way that makes perfect sense and is easy for anyone to understand why this newsletter might be of value to them.

But I cannot land on a definition that makes sense. The Hey Man Newsletter isn't one thing. It's a lot of things. And the things that it is today might not be the things that it will be tomorrow.

That's how life is, isn't it? The things that are true today might not be tomorrow. We learn in life. We evolve. We experience things. We have different needs depending on the day of the week and the season of life.

The Hey Man Newsletter is meant to show a little bit of what life looks like, and to try and make sense of some of the things that I encounter. My hope is that it is helpful to someone - anyone, really - to see someone living their regular life and learning things along the way.

I'm far from qualified to give any real-life advice. There are roughly 8 billion people in the world who are smarter than me. Hey Man isn't about preaching and telling anyone what to do, it's about talking about the things that I see and do. And, hopefully, sparking additional conversation for others.

Life is messy and undefined. How silly of me to think that I can define it in just a few paragraphs. Life has to be experienced and learned from, and it's different for everyone.

So, what is the Hey Man Newsletter? We'll find out together.

I do have an actual plan, though!

I've written about my own life on various platforms many times, and that's what I'll do here. But, as the community grows, there will be other people who step in to tell their stories.

The idea is community. We all need one, and this is just another way to try and create one.

That's the actual plan, and that's what the Hey Man Newsletter will attempt to be.
