“Mark's personal anecdotes and storytelling weaved together make a great 5-10 minutes read every time! The plot of any post is engaging and brings you actionable insights on productivity, mental models, and human nature. How I got to know Mark was actually through a scheduled post 1 week in advance that he was promoting in the notes. He had just felt the spur of writing and wrote it! It's great to see a motivated writer. 10/10 you won't be disappointed with the content.”
