I've been on Substack for years, but the friendships I've made in 2026 have completely changed my experience here. 💜

David McIlroy and I talked about writing, building a business, and why the people you meet might be the best part of Substack.

So here's my question:

Who's ONE person you've met on Substack who made your experience better? 👀

Tag them below and tell us how you met! Let's give our Substack friends some love. 💜👑

This was awesome, Jess! Keep doing your thing. To answer your question, I would have to say you and Chris help make Substack such an awesome place for me. You guys have always been super supportive. I have enjoyed being part of both of your communities. You rock, Jess!
