How it's made

Each week, I comb through a few hundred media outlets, magazines, company blogs, and individual blogs, as well as dozens of newsletters I subscribe to.

The articles (and videos) I feature have an experimental approach: thinking + doing. Ideally, I’m looking for reporting on actual efforts, as opposed to overviews or trends.

I don’t include SEO-geared articles (8 things…), nor do I include links to pubs like Entrepreneur, Fortune, Forbes, Inc. or other business publications because their articles are generally not in-depth.

The result, I believe, is a newsletter aimed at a deeper understanding of how we can change our work and our lives.

Who are you?

Rather than concerning ourselves with industries or job titles,
The Idea Enthusiast Weekly cultivates four distinct outlooks in its subscriber community.

Creatives

You build things, make things, market things, tinker, and improve. You run on imagination.

Adventurers

You take risks, explore the unknown, and love stories of people who do weird things just because they can.

Campaigners

You fight for ideas, figure out how to position solutions, and love to argue, not to win but to understand.

Wildcards

You resist labels, which makes this category ironic, but you love lots of things and we love you for it.

what it means to JOIN The IDEA enthusiasTS

We show you how others are doing hard things: changing their behavior, improving their work, and leading by example.

"I love reading The Idea Enthusiast Weekly newsletter. I'm guaranteed to find myself deep diving into several of the links in every issue and inevitably sharing the things I discover with my colleagues. I really think of it as a trusted resource for inspiration on a weekly basis."

“The The Idea Enthusiast Weekly newsletter is something I very much look forward to each Wednesday. Greg does a great job compiling content to provoke thought, take you out of your day-to-day thinking, and inspire change. I use it as guided creative thinking, as I just don’t get enough time for that, and a weekly reminder to get out of the box.”
