Departing this platform soon. As noted previously, subscribing to Deal Secrets is the best way to keep the deals coming your way. But you can also find me on Bluesky if you care to. https://t.co/nDP1LFY1Ez
It's not a done deal yet but there's a very good chance I will be leaving this platform. Substack (https://t.co/8RszUhsv4Y) is without question the best place to find me, but I'm also looking closely at another destination: https://t.co/nDP1LFXtP1
