On a pragmatic side, INI is probably the only newsletter I open every single time. (And I've been into newsletters before they were cool). There's something about the format, the mix of actions, resources, research and personality that always makes it a good read. On the more philosophical side, it's really important shit to talk about and I'm so glad we're having these conversations. And thanks to INI, I can have them more informed and empowered.
